What is it about things lately. Last Wednesday I had a bunch of jobs to do which was going to make me a good chunk of change. I was on my way when I got stopped for "a tail light out", which I found out yesterday was not true. Lo and behold they found a ticket warrant for me. I went to jail for 8 days where I lost my jobs and am suspended indefinitely from where I get my work. Now I am Trapped big time and about to lose electricity and you name it. Why won't the authorities work with you when they know you have a fine reputation and are a business owner in a delicate situation?

That really was a low thing to do, for just a ticket warrant they can make your whole life miserable,
just because they can, thats how the law works nowadays. But if the tail light situation wasnt true, why not go to the authorities and claim they reverse the damage or sue em? |

8 days for not paying a ticket? While that does sound a bit extreme, I sure wish they would of caught one of the sorry dirt bags that I have warrents out on for writing me hot checks. That is stealing, no doubt about it, and would deserve jail time.

What I would do is sue them, and also sue Murphy for making his law. That way you can get attention to your case and I dont know, maybe something interesting could happen. Everybody has heard about the person who sued god right?

Flakes, i didn't heard though.
 Since Murphy made this law, there has to be a reason that's very huge that it was made. Check more about it, then you'd understand the concept behind it. |

Well if you found it that it wasn't true, what did you do about it? And don't tell me there is nothing you could/could have done, unless you don't take it seriously.

Sounds like a corrupt system to me. There are organizations in this country who can help with these kind of situations, being treated unfairly that is. Although taking the police to court is not such a good idea. Its hard to fight the authorities.

I was thinking that the original poster must be from some third world country and didn't think much of it. But, out of curiosity, I looked at the original post and saw he's from east TX. Now it all makes perfect sense. Pack your things and move north if you know what's good for you!
