Legal Issues: February 2008 Archives

Traffic court sucks and I never want to go back! Ever!!

That's what happens when you live in Long Beach. There is a cop waiting around every corner to give you a bullshit ticket so they can fine you exorbitant fees for something you didn't even do and I'm not kidding when I say I DID NOT BREAK THE LAW OR DESERVE A TICKET!!! That fucking cop was just trying to make his ticket quota for the month and it's a genius system too! Even if you are found not guilty for the offense you STILL have to pay some sort of fee for something. Not only do you get the fine for the ticket, but you also get fees from the court and the state of California, so even you go for the long haul and prove that you got ticketed wrongfully; you still have to pay something. It's a fucking racket!!!

Anyway, I got my fine reduced and have three months to pay or I can do community service, but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay $40 just to be put on a list to do community service and then once that's done, pay the court another $20 for the "convenience" of the whole thing. The reason I asked for that shit was BECAUSE I couldn't afford to PAY THE FINE... FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T FUCKING DO!!!!!!!!

*Takes a deep breath* so I've decided to pay the reduced fine and be done with it. It will take me like two months, but I'll do it just so I don't have to see the inside of that courtroom again and you know what... that's what those greedy bastards were counting on.
