bdc30 0 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Dude, we've talked on AIM. You know what I do for a living. My advice to you is this. The courts will look a lot more highly upon someone that "manned up" so to speak and turned themselves in, owned up, made retribution and got the problem dealt with than they will for someone who has remained unlawfully at large for a period of time, eating up law enforcement resources and having to have been "caught" which you eventually will be.Here's what I suggest doing. Go to your local police station. Tell them who you are, and that you've heard there is a warrant out for you, and you think there is some confusion and want to get it sorted out. When they arrest you (which they will) you'll have to go in front of a judge. Plead ignorance, say you fked up, forgot about your alcohol course, whatever, but make it apparent that YOU turned yourself in when you found out about the warrant and are on the right track and just want to get all this squared away. They will work with you. If you make them catch you, trust me, the court won't much care what you have to say, and you'll face a lot stiffer penalty. Link to post Share on other sites
ShakeZuma 585 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 no no, ouch is right here. there's really nothing to worry about. they don't usually take these things seriously. I suggest you just forget the whole incident and it will go away. I'm sure this will work.please post updates. Link to post Share on other sites

I think that when judges issue sentencing orders, they don't REALLY mean them. They look at it more like a suggestion, than a real ORDER. They don't mind if people don't take them seriously. They think it's kind of cute when people violate the conditions of their probation. Those darn silly criminals! hehe. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.LOLZI just pictured a judge writing out sentencing orders with a pink gel pen and putting smily faces above the "i's".Or the conversation...."Now, Mr. FWP if you can fit in your schedule... would you complete some courses and pay your fine on time? If not.... no biggie. Get to to it when ya can." Link to post Share on other sites

This is just more avoidance of responsibility and hoping bad things will go away. Actions have consequences, yours are beginning to catch up to you.Good luck on the continued Self Destruction.

Mikey Ravioli 0 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Brother you have obviously never been in jail because if you have you would so anything to make sure you never went back. For the crap you pulled you should have done time. To avoid doing time they gave you proby with a few terms and conditions. You care so little you couldn't even follow the t's & c's and now there is warrant for your ass. Man up. Take responsibilty for what you did (and didn't do). Scrape together some bail money. You might need a G. Have someone drive you to the police station and turn yourself in. Make sure you are wearing comfortable clothes and have eaten a decent meal because you will be getting locked up for a while. Probably overnight. Don't have the bail money on your person. Make your friend carry it. Any personal effects including money that you have on you will be confiscated at the time of your arrest and not returned until after you are released. If you have a lawyer, bring him with you. This is the best course of action to minimize the negatives of your situation. Unless of course you like prison and all the male butt sex you can handle.

SBriand 4 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 This all reminds me of some of the tenants in my building. They know the rent is due on the first. They know there is a $25 late charge after the 5th of the month and another $25 late fee after the 10th of the month. If it is the 17th and I still don't hear from them I send them a letter and call them. Of course noone ever answers the phone or returns the phone call. Then after 7 days we file in court and they get sent court papers saying they need to be in court the next Thursday. Most ignore that and then when the eviction letter comes they start taking action. Why? Because they figure it will just go away if they ignore it. Oh how wrong they are. Link to post Share on other sites

Then come back and turn yourself in.Good luck crossing the border with an outstanding warrant......really looking forward to the follow up "I Just spent the night in Jail" ThreadPending arrest, additional court dates, attorney fees, probation, community service, possible jail time, fines, license suspensions/restrictions......all could have been avoided by just following the terms of his original court order (not to mention never having driven into a police car while drunk).And this guy CONTINUES to drive drunk and post about it.
