Just a funny story:
There was a guy here in California who had his license mistakenly (DMV admitted as much) revoked but the guy made such a stink about it the DMV decided not to extend this
privilege to him for an undetermined period of time (that'll teach him - lol). The guy took the DMV to court where the judge ruled that the state could not withhold the ability of a citizen to drive
without just cause, thereby ruling that the
privilege to drive is in fact a conditional
right to drive which cannot be denied as long as one meets the requirements for qualification.
And, yes, rights can be forfeited ... that's what prisons and gallows are all about.
