My licence was currently taken away from a judge and I won't get it back untill february 28th. He took it away because I got charged with possesion of paraphernalia (class B misdemeanor). I am a minor, but here's the question. He took it away from me, but my actual licence isn't revoked or suspended. My atorney is actually setting up a meeting because he said he can present letters of how important that it is to drive, like work and school and stuff like that (I have 4) and my negative drug test that I have. But, the question is, if it's not suspended with the BMV, what's to stop me form just going to get another one?

What's the current status of your charges? Apparently Indiana law allows a judge to confiscate your license, which has the effect of placing a 90 days suspension on your privilege to drive.
I would REALLY advise that you not go behind his back and get a new one, even if he didn't notify the BMV - which he probably did.
If you go into the meeting your lawyer's setting up, and the judge knows that you tried to ge around him, he'll be mad, and you can kiss goodbye to any hope of getting it back early.
Plus, of course, the same judge will be doing the sentencing on your paraphernalia charge......
Talk to your lawyer, and rely on HIS advice.
