Justice Goff dissents In August 2020, an Indianapolis police officer pulled Chris Kelly over for two “minor traffic infractions,” leading to the suspension of his driver’s license. About three months later, Kelly met with a prosecutor who, according to Kelly, sent electronic SR16’s—court forms used to notify the BMV of various issues involving a driver who has violated a motor vehicle law—to the BMV to remove the infractions and Kelly’s failure to pay fines. But in January 2021, police pulled Kelly over for driving on a suspended license.
