Aggravated Unlicensed Operation in Jefferson County
43 cases · Jefferson County Courts · DCJS Data
Aggravated Unlicensed Operation charges in Jefferson County result in conviction in every case, a stark contrast to the statewide dismissal rate of 6.8 percent. Over the five-year period from 2020 to 2024, not a single case was dismissed, and this pattern shows no sign of changing. The 43 cases in the county resolve to conviction with absolute consistency, suggesting prosecutors pursue these charges selectively and judges or juries find them straightforward to prove. Cases take a median of 209 days from filing to resolution.
Nearly all defendants charged with this offense receive release before trial, with 84.4 percent released on recognizance without bail requirements. For those who do post bail, the median amount is $5,000. When convicted, sentences are predominantly probation-based: 46.5 percent receive probation only, while 18.6 percent serve jail time and 23.3 percent face fines. Notably, 44.2 percent of cases see the original charge reduced, and every single reduction converts the charge to DWI or DUI, suggesting plea negotiations consistently shift these cases into that category rather than resolving them as filed.
Dismissal rate includes judicial dismissals and cases dismissed in the interest of justice. Conviction rate includes guilty pleas and findings of guilt at trial. Avg duration measures arraignment to final disposition. Data sourced from New York DCJS Pretrial Release Data. Last updated: March 2026
