the government is only capable of creating bureaucratic hurdles in the states that are designed to fine white people and jail black people, the point is that it's annoying and a dipshit like me can forget about it and get charged money for it (or in some cases, go to jail)

we posted bail for one of the inmates that let me use their phone account :)

so things happened in this order

get ticket for expired tags month ago > try to pay it but their system does not show me the ticket (system sucks ass) > forget about ticket > they send the reminder to the wrong address > ticket becomes "failure to appear" because I have not paid it > i stupidly think the ticket was dropped or something > judge signs warrant which is sent to wrong address > i'm driving a bit, get pulled over for expired tags again (i forgor and barely drive) > i am surprised to learn I have a warrant, they cuff me, and extradite me 90 miles away to the town i was originally pulled over in

so it technically wasn't for expired tags, it was for not paying a ticket or not going to court

i guess

i am but im not, it's gonna be something that sticks around in my brain for a long time (I got the OCD ick)

glad you were out quick, sorry you were there at all

watching these mfers joke around and swig mountain dew while i'm on hour 9 of sitting in a locked flourescent lit holding room

yep just the tags

i was totally sober so i wasn't even balling.... smh

this exact scenario has been a recurring nightmare of mine for years actually, my dad was in corrections and gave me both a fear of jail and car stuff

my immediate suggested course of action is to drive as little as possible, fuck car

my other suggested course of action should not be posted publicly

the fact that it's literally all in the service of car is one of the funniest and most upsetting parts of the mess

appreciate it

and now im supposed to just walk around and act like everything is normal
