I wrote a thread about this before, but it got deleted when shit that shit happened. Here's the gist of it. I have a shit load of tickets and I think I'm going to jail or like 10,000 in fines.
Town A, I got caught in:
Suspended Registration (up to $1000 in fines, 6 months license suspended)
No Insurance (same as above plus another $1000)
Failure to Obey Traffic Light (2 or 4 points, probably like $500)
Town B:
Suspended Registration (up to $1000 in fines, 6 months license suspended)
No Insurance (same as above plus another $1000)
No Inspection Sticker (always gets dropped, otherwise like $250)
Failure to Provide Insurance (Same as No Insurance ticket)
Town C:
Suspended License (loss of license for like 6 months, over $1000 in fines, 5 day jail time)
No Insurance (see other shit)
Fake Inspection Sticker (No fucking clue, it's not even a real charge)
So you can see, plus court costs of $33 per charge, I'm facing thousands of dollars in charges. What I tried to do is remedy the situation by becoming current and getting shit fixed. I just don't have the money for it yet.
$200 license restoration (only to have it taken away? fuck that)
$200 registration restoration
$47 registration renewal
$95/month insurance
$15 driver abstract.
This is fucking ridiculous. My shitwagon cost like $900, why would I pay all that. They're treating me like I'm some bad ass criminal. I didn't hurt anyone, I didn't commit a crime against people. Yeah I could've got in an accident and been fucked, but it didn't happen.
So I'd have to pay 11 grand just to drive again, in like two years. If I get a lawyer, than you can just add on to all of that. I'm going to go to my friend, his sister is the assistant DA for the county I live in, and maybe she can find a good public defender or cheap lawyer.
Besides paying for all the shit, like restoration fees, I really don't understand how I can get out of any of these charges. I know I made mistakes and broke the law, but I'm not going to pay this gravely for them. And if any of the fucking judges try to sentence me to jail time, I am going to leave this country. Mexicans drive without licenses all the time, and without insurance.
The courts are just being unrealistic. $11,000+ so I can drive a <$1000 vehicle? hell no.

Go to Canada.
This. We don't have cops.
The funny thing the mounties actually are pretty damn hardcore. They look funny but there trained military style and have a pretty impressive arsenal of weapons.
We'll fuck your shit up.

Works off road well...
Shit's well worth the 150 dollar investment.

Those guys will have you all :P
The Mounties aren't special forces. They're like Canada's FBI. And the funny clothes they wear are purely ceremonial. They actually wear normal clothes believe it or not
Inb4 "it's a bike"
Comes in steam-powered models too
I got all my court dates postponed until January, so I have freedom from jail until then. It just sucks because my license is suspended until then anyway. I think my best defense is to sell my vehicle and be done with it.
The funny thing is, the only thing I've been able to hold onto throughout this whole thing is insurance, which is the reason I got these tickets in the first place. I couldn't get my registration because of no insurance, same with inspection. Then they suspended my license/reg before I even got a ticket because my registration went up as my insurance did.
Now I'm paying $94/month on insurance on a vehicle I can't drive.
