White II appealed his conviction for driving without a valid license, arguing that the statute was unconstitutional, the trial court lacked jurisdiction, and Missouri should recognize his driver's license from the Pembina Nation Little Shell Band of North America. The appellate court affirmed the conviction. It held that White lacked standing to challenge the statute's constitutionality because his \"nation\" is not federally recognized, the trial court had proper jurisdiction, and Missouri is not obligated to recognize licenses from an unrecognized entity.","primaryTopic":"administrative-law","topicSlugs":["administrative-law","criminal-procedure","governmental-immunity","other"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=128574","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-william-h-white-ii-d80625","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: conviction"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
