Not really.
You ever been arrested?
I was on a mistaken charge of shoplifting in a grocery store.
It was thrown out of court like this was.
But I spent 5 days in county jail before bonding out.
But the whole time I was in cells with gang members and rapists and druggies.
I was scared to death. I say the guard beat the crap out of a 300 lb guy because he crossed a red line walking down a hallway.
In prison..you do not cross redlines. You stay behind them.
After I got home I had to constantly check in with the bail bondsman. I had to go to hearings at court and meet with my public defender. I had to review videotape of the store showing me shopping in the store. No theft was shown.
3 times the witnesses failed to show on court day. 3 times they failed to show and the case was dismissed.
All the while I could not sleep. I hardly ate. I would not smoke pot which would have calmed my shot nerves but I was afraid the court might ask for a blood test.
This went on for 4 months.
After I was still rattled and avoided grocery stores. It took me months before I finally started hanging with friends again.
So unless you have a clue about the law and how it does not work but can still understand how it can waste you money with lawyers..you do not have a clue.
I am still waiting for my waiting period to end. I have to wait 2 years to appeal the court to erase the charges for me and I can not be arrested or I can kiss that goodbye.
I have to hire an attorney this time..no public defender. He told me his fee is $1500 becuz it's criminal Court not civil. I have no choice unless I want a permanent criminal record.
So if you are not guilty..you are still guilty of being a chump u think?
You are pretty stupid if you ask me.
Sorry.
You asked for this.
