Do you know if the time served goes on his record as a misdemeanor or stays as a traffic violation? And I guess most people can't really understand that Vegas will and does just let people, women, children, even pregnant women rot in the streets. There is no help. Nada Zippo, ****. But the idea of getting that ticket off of him sounds great! I'm wondering if he can go for the weekends until its paid ofd. And hes on the payment plan already.
his offense is already on his record as whatever it is... we are just talking about taking care of his fines now.
if he has a warrant, and he is on the payment plan, that tells me he has missed payments.( missing those payments is treated the same as missing court date)
I don't know all the details of his case, so i'm just speaking in generalities here ( it would be easier if i knew what jurisdiction he is in)
assuming he is in metro jurisdiction ( not Henderson or North Vegas).. his best bet is to get in front of a judge... metro is really good about getting people in and out quick... their jails are full and they aren't really worried about low level criminals....
if his fine is low ( I think you said 85 bucks, is that all of it?. or just what he has left to pay?)
metro will let you sit in jail as an alternative to paying cash for your fines... a day in jail "pays" the inmate a certain amount of money ( it was 75 bucks a day a few yeas ago, it may be more now)...a good showing in front of a judge will do a world of good.... at the least, it'll get the warrant off the books and get him back to being employable.
at worst, the judge could get pissy and toss him jail for as long as it takes to pay off the fine ( at 75 bucks a day)... the latter rarely happens unless you are a huge dick to the judge.
it always looks better to the judge if you turn yourself in.... if you wait to get arrested by the police, the judge will rightfully think you have been avoiding him.
anyway, when you got not cash, just have hubby stay in jail until his fine is paid off...sitting in metro is easy, the food ain't bad, there are books to read, and he can catch up on all the sleep he wants.... and don't sweat it, he won't be housed with murderers or rapists... he'll be with other folks that are sitting down for similar crimes.
even if he is for one day, you can still go visit him ( by video chat, anyways)
but yeah.. he can get his legal problems handled.. and it doesn't have to cost a dime in money.
To everyone who keeps saying I shoukd just move bringing up the drugs and my mom... I was on a rant and shoukd edit it but that was just me venting. All of that stuff was when I was a teenager. Kind of was having a pity "why does this **** always happen to me " moment while having a panic attack and trying to write reasonably after two days of not sleeping because of the stress. Sorry things jugked in and made it seem like I have abything to do with my family.
no worries... venting is good for getting that stress taken care of... and believe me, you NEED to take care of the stress.
make a plan, make some goals... go to bed pumped up and excited about getting those plans and goals taken care of tomorrow....
stressing will not help you in any way... lay it down, set it aside, and get to gettin'
I was given up to foster care and now have no family to go to. My husbands parents are in El Salvador so we are quite literally all alone in this. Until we have some money we can't move. Moving three kids to another state means first, last, and deposit plus the gas to get to wherever it is and so on and so forth. Once we have a little money one of us can find a job in another state but it will still take long time because everyone we know lives here, it will be starting completely over. My friends are all in the same boat, living with family or just broke.
stop this... stop thinking about the stuff you can't do... too much effort is spent on "can't", and you need all that effort and energy to go towards "can".
it's good to be alone in problems sometimes... it's sure as hell challenging, but after you come out the other side ( and you will come out, make no mistake about that).. you can look back and be proud... you can say " holy ****, we did it... and we did it on our own".. it's a good feeling.
