CARNES v. THE STATE.
33651.
Habitual traffic violator; constitutional question. Whitfield Superior Court. Before Judge Vining.
PER CURIAM.
This is an interlocutory appeal in which Carnes challenges his prosecution as a habitual traffic violator as defined in Code 68B-308.
Carnes and the prosecutor stipulated as follows: On August 29, 1977, Carnes (who had previously been adjudicated a habitual violator in 1976) was charged with failure to have proof of insurance, failure to control his vehicle, and driving with a suspended license; he pled guilty; out of this conduct arose the subsequent indictment as a habitual traffic violator.
1. Carnes' constitutional attacks on the habitual violator statute must fall for the reasons stated in Weaver v. State, 242 Ga. 8 (1978), in which this court considered and rejected these same arguments.
The trial court erred in overruling Carnes' plea of former jeopardy.
Arthur K. Bolton, Attorney General, Kirby G. Atkinson, Assistant Attorney General, amicus curiae.
Charles A. Pannell, Jr., District Attorney, Stephen A. Williams, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.
Kinney, Kemp, Pickell, Avrett & Sponcler, Allen F. Wallace, for appellant.
ARGUED JUNE 19, 1978 -- DECIDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1978.
