Perry v. Spencer

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing that license revocation is “akin to a restraining order or injunction, protecting the public from future harm by depriving an unsafe or irresponsible driver of his or her authority to continue to operate motor vehicles”
• “We conclude that administrative license revocation continues to be a ‘remedial’ sanction, not a punitive sanction for purposes of the federal double jeopardy clause”
• “It is obvious that deterrence of misconduct will be one practical effect of any regulatory scheme that allows the government to revoke a license to drive motor vehicles or pursue a livelihood.”
• revocation of driver’s license for refusing to submit to blood alcohol test or having test results of .10 percent or higher is remedial for double jeopardy purposes, even though revocation plays a role in deterrence
