My worries are over.

Hmmm, around mid April I took my mom's car to get some subway. I didn't have a drivers license at the time so I was trying to becareful not to speed. After getting my subway I start heading back and I approach the 2/3 mile straight bridge, its still sorta the end of winter so there arent any speed traps around due to the snow. But that day the bridge was perfectly dry. Past times I tried to go as fast as possible on the bridge nearing 85+ until I reached the curve which was not far away. Anyways this day, I went about 64 in the 35mph limit zone. And just as I'm entering the curve I see a fuking motorcycle cop hidden in the corner putting his little laser gun thingy in the holster and getting ready to take off after me. My heart starting fucking pounding like hell since I didn't have a driver's license and this is my mom's car. Anways I immidietly slow down and a rediculus 20 mph. And I don't see him. In any mirrors, just as I thought he didnt come after me I sorta calm down. Then BAM! all the sudden he pops up behind me,(it seems he was following me for a couple blocks in my blind spot) and turns on his lights. Yup, well I pull over and he writes me three tickets and my mom has to come to pick up the car since I didnt have a license, luckily I was about 5 blocks from my house so my mom just walked. First tickets was 110 dollars for no proof of insurance since I couldn't find the fucking insurance card. (Alaska law requires you to show proof of insurance right then and there or they write you a ticket, even if you have insurance.) That was no points for my DMV record. The second was the the "no valid operators license." That was 160 dollars and 2 points in my DMV record. Third is the speeding one, it was for going 64/35mph which was 360 dollars and 6! points in my record. I was so pissed since this all could've been prevented, but my dumb self had to speed. OH well. Anyways back to the story.

For months I was mad with myself because this would ruin my chances of getting driver's license until I was 18, I was gonna have to pay a shitload of money when I got insurance. And I would have 8 points in my DMV record. Therefor I was screwed. The court date was nearing and my mom had contacted her lawyer. When we got there he explained to us exactly what he was gonna do... First of all, the insurance ticket could've been reduced to half if we showed proof of insurance for that time. Also the cop made a mistake in writing the no valid operators license ticket. What happened is that the law changed so that when someone was caught with no license it would be a criminal offense instead of a minor offense or something like that. The cop wrote it as a minor offense so he decided to dismiss that ticket. After the lawyer had a long conversation with the cop, and since the cop liked me(since I was calm and not a jerk unlike most kids that get pulled over are) he decided he didnt wanna see my near future ruined. Sooooooooo, he decided he was gonna lower the speeding ticket from 29 over to 19 over the speed limit. This would make it 4 points in my record. THEN!!!! the judge decided since my mom so involved that she even contacted a lawyer for a speeding ticket (when most parents are not involved or dont care), that she would not put the ticket in my record, and would hold it over my head for two years, the deal was... If I got any movement violations(got pulled over) in the next two years that she would put the ticket back in my record and charge me the 350 dollars and the 4 points went in. I also had to write a 2000 word essay on the incident. And have to take a drivers course or something.
EDIT: I should add that after 12 points in your DMV record you get your license taken away.
So all I ended up paying was for the dumbest ticket of all. Wow, I cant believe I wrote all that, so n ow I am free(sort of). Even though I spend more on the lawyer than the tickets itself, which was worth it since I now have a clean record again. Bleh.


Tell me about your past run ins with the law. Just dont write as much as me plz.

Interesting....

I didn't read them.

Paragraph...!

OMG!!!!! Senesia has been possesed by a spammin demon!

Everyone falls to the darkside muahahahah!!!

Why did you speed in the first place you dumb ass?

Well at least I'm glad to hear it's all okay now.

Speeding = fun, slow = boring and pisses me off. Its not like I'm a reckless driver... my driving skillls are l33t!

Ooh, story time! *huddles around* Well, i'm 18 and dont even have a driver's license...I could just go down to the station and take my test and get one, but I figure i dont really need it, since i make all my money at home, and have no need to travel anywhere.

Besides, if I get one, my parents would make me take trips to the supermarket and stuff...and i live in Outer Sticksville, so the nearest store is far away. *shudders*

I bet you got leet reflexes like that french sponge bob in your sig -.-

prolly, I should star in the next fast and the furious movie.

I bet you got leet reflexes like that french sponge bob in your sig -.-

LOL.

The hard part now is not getting caught for two years.

With the law? I used to do some really stupid shit that I won't mention here.. but.. once I was almost arrested for fucking walking across an active railroad track, but thank god I talked my way out of it or he might have checked what was in my pocket.. anyway, I hate being watched.. constantly..

I'm sorry to hear that Eddie, such a fuss over speeding a little bit. Well, the speeding bit was probably not the worst part, driving without a license is like giving a native indian an AK-47 and placing him among others. It's just a matter of time until something bad will happen.

Actually, I don't know how tricky it really is to get a driver's license in the US. Over here (in Sweden), you have to be 18 to start with, and there's a LOT of theory and practice involved. I'd say it easily takes at least 6 months of intense practice before you can even think about getting a driver's license.

By the way, how exactly does your life get "taken away" if you get 12 points on your DMV record?

Interesting story, pretty lucky if i dont say so myself.

My run ins with the law...


When I found out that I was the father of some girl who I'd only met once's baby, I was pissed and alittle scared.

Anyways, I got a letter of the child support agency saying basically "Come in and get a DNA test to determine who's the father." I figured "Can't be me, it was only one time, and she wasn't ovulating. There were a few others (I didn't know that at the time of coitus.)

Obviously, I was wrong. It was me. I got fingerprinted, and they took a blood sample to keep my DNA on record. Then I had to go talk to my Lawyer ad liadem, and he was a jerkoff. He wasn't a real lawyer, he worked out of an old house, he was a slow dumb type of guy.

He talked to me about all of my options and such, and how with each one, I was basically screwed with whichever I chose. I could deny paternity, and have an ongoing and costly legal battle with her about paternity, I could take full custody and have her sorry ass pay me child support (but I'd also have to take care of a fucking child). Or I could just go with the flow and pay her child support.

I chose to pay her child support, and avoid some of the bullshit I didn't want to deal with. By pening in my name on that sheet of paper, I fucked myself over, not that any of the other options were better though.. It was settled, I had a court date to go to like 3 weeks later.

My Dad hired a lawyer of his own, the same one he's been using for the longest time. The two lawyers discussed the whole thing, and decided we'd chosen the best option. The only complaint was that they wanted %17 of my Dad's monthly paycheck, which would have been $750, and we couldn't afford to lose that money, he had just bought our Corvette.

I showed up at court, and I guess there were other child support issues being discussed. I got to listen to some of the couples that tried to stay together break up, and fight over all this little stupid shit. Since I was a minor, they had my trial in what they call "closed court" where only court officials and people related to the case are allowed.

The girl showed up with her guardian and lawyer ad liadem, all of them looked rather shabby, and to be honest quite foolish. The funny thing is their lawyer that they had appointed for them was the same lawyer my Dad tried a few years back when my grandmother died (to figure out the trust and such, his sister tried to steal it all). And he ended up fucking it all up, so my Dad got the lawyer that he also got for this case, and he straightened it out and they won.

Back to the court thing. I had to go up on stand and state my name, swear to tell.. blah blah. After getting all that shit out of the way, they asked me what I wanted to do. I told them my decision, and then the girl had to go up there and do the same. The court was just about to give their closing words when the lawyer my Dad appointed looked at my lawyer ad liadem, told him he wasn't the best lawyer, and he stood up and asked about the $750. After some working on him, the judge set it at $250, which included birthing costs, immunizations, and money for the child.

The mother of the child seemed veyr disappointed, almost as though she had been doing this just for money, evil bitch. Anyways, court adjourned, and Dad went and bought me some stuff to cheer me up.


And now I'm stuck paying for a child I never get to see because the mother hates me for some fucking reason. It's hard not seeing your daughter, the one who means the most to you. I may only be 15, but at least I'm making attempts to see my child. I'm going to set a court date to demand that I be able to see her. We have split custody, let me get my part of it.

You got owned at 14. Heh.

I have two hit and runs on my record.....cause for some reason when I hit something I just run away I don't stick around I just go home and fix the car myself.

fuck, winccan. you actually got away with it pretty easily. if it was me I would have been like thrown out of the house by now. lucky bastard..
