Matlock is on!

I prefer Murder, She Wrote. How could one small town be so violent?

I have long suspected that Angela Lansbury played a crazed killer who imagined her own killings were done by other people and she wrote about it from her point of view.

There does have to be something there as it seems like that town was chock full of more killers than citizens.

I thought some liked to see America as a place you could 'start over' again with relative ease ?

I thought you guys used DUI though?  DWI (driving while impaired) is the Canadian term.

We use both.  DUI is less severe than a DWI.  It goes by BAC.  However, a DWI automatically gets charged with a DUI, so sniveling prosecutor fucktards can't plead out of it entirely.

We welcomed religious wackos, sure, but generally not criminals (exception: Georgia).

I never had an outstanding warrant for assault.

Uh huh.

It was for FTA.  And I was honestly never given my tickets, and explicitly told that the charges underlying the FTA (half of the total from the incident) would be dropped, which is why I didn't show up to the city court.  You'll recall that when I became aware of the issue I promptly turned myself in.  You may not believe me, but that's rather irrelevant; judge didn't either.  I think that's pretty stupid, as it flies in the face of common sense that someone would "flee" justice by staying at the same address listed on his license when arrested and showing up to court for the more serious charges, then finally turn himself in at a random time for no reason, but whatever.  I behaved with integrity to resolve the problem and that's all that matters to me.

The underlying crimes were open container and minor possession.  BFD.  It was a decade ago.

Yes, I recall that.  You didn't post that weekend.   :lol:

Tell me something, if they hold you for 72 hours, they're supposed to provide you with facilities to bathe and brush your teeth, right?

Uh, no. :lol:  What, you think you were staying at the Four Seasons or something?  Please tell me you asked the turnkey for a toothbrush.

So how many hours is it?  96?  120?  148?  Serious question.

Once you get transferred to the county detention center after your bail review, if you don't post. That's when you get your fucking toothbrush.  And your jumpsuit.  And your little slippers.

That's why you never turn yourself in on a Friday.  You're stuck at the precinct or district station all weekend.  LULZ.

And pretty much anywhere west of the Mississippi. :contract: Though even in the civilized parts you'd be hard pressed to get a hold of criminal records for some FOB Irishman.

Didn't; wasn't.  I was sentenced to three days (was five, but I chose, wisely it turns out, to go close to Christmastime).

I ask because the protocol at the facility, as relayed to me by employees of the facility, was 48 hours?-->go to county. :P

Three days, it wouldn't even have been worth moving you.  By the time you got there and processed, it'd practically be time to process you out.

Nah, he can go without a toothbrush for three days.
