Re: Have you ever committed a serious crime?
So, i get a speeding ticket. I pay the speeding ticket, Priority Mail and everything. A couple months later, i get a thing in the mail: 'you didn't pay this ticket! you are in so much trouble, missy!'
I boggle, i call the court house where i got it, they say not only do they not have any record of me paying, they don't have any record of the *ticket*. I boggle a little more. I paid with a postal money order, so I go and have the PO trace it, to see if it's been cashed. It hasn't, and it's been a while, so the PO gives me my money back.
I call the court house and tell them what's what, they say 'well, we still can't find any of this stuff, we'll call you when we figure it out'. All good.
A week later, knock on the door, there's a cop (at like eight at night) and i freak because at the time, my SO is working at a tattoo shop that's thirty minutes away and all i can think is he's been hurt or car wreck or something.
The cop then tells me i have a *warrant* for my *arrest* for this fucking ticket, and we need to go down to the police station. I tell him i'm home alone with my two year old child, and that can't happen. He wonders if i family who can watch her. I don't, they all live a couple hours away. Do i have friends? No - the only people i *could* call also have little kids and also live out of town and that is not happening. He says he'll call child services and i can go to the PS, pay the bail, and come home.
I tell him no way, and besides, i don't have enough money on hand *anyway*. Blah blah blah, all kinds of stupidity, he's talking to his boss while staring at my tv (the show i had been watching had ended and Cops was on, holy yuck).
Finally he gets the 'okay' to leave me there until tomorrow if i promise i'm not a 'flight risk' and omfg.
So the next day i go to the PS, and they do all this paperwork crap while i...sit in a jail cell. And then when the same jerk-ass Aryan Youth cop is taking me to the court house, he's all 'do i need to put cuffs on you?' and i'm just gob smacked.
Then there's me, sitting in the CH for an hour while they ditz around on a computer they can't work, and the cops read out my name/address/phone/age ALOUD like six times in a room full of prisoners. How awesome is *that*.
I finally get to go home, and then finally go to court over it a few months later and tell the judge what happened - with all my receipts and things from the PO and stuff - and he has a paper saying that the CH was in the processing of moving into a new building and they lost a bunch of stuff, my ticket being one of them, and he's just gonna forget the whole thing.

Re: Have you ever committed a serious crime?
This dumb-ass cop is treating me like i'm a serial killer or freakin' Bundy, all puffed up in his cop-suit and his hand on his gun *in my house* while my daughter toddles around the living room, can't tear his eyes away from the TV (which i shut off), and acting like i'm going to bolt town forever over a *speeding ticket*, just...wth.
Such a to-do over *nothing*.
