You beat me to it. I am unsurprised. FReepers are *quick*!
The legal system sucks for EVERYONE on the receiving end.
Courts suck, bail sucks, fines suck, traffic tickets suck. It drains you of your money under penalty of getting your life ruined.
I have to see a Magistrate tomorrow about an expired inspection sticker. Missed day of work, and that damned sticker wound up costing me $350. The ticket was issued for $25. The rest are fees. Oh, and I received a letter that there is a bench warrant for me because I didn’t respond in time too. So that’s another $98.
The legal system will keep a poor person poor if you keep stepping in it. It’s like social quick sand. Doesn’t matter if you’re white, black, brown or purple. Unless you’re a friend with a cop, or having coffee with some cops, everytime you talk to a cop shit gets really unfair really quickly.
