could be possible...

you ever actually heard of a wage garnishment?

even if you settle up, you're still gonna get that summons from the DMV regarding your license... regardless of whether you paid the fine or not...

Since they basically never bother collecting those fines through any real enforcement, you eventually just get hit with a notice saying your fine is being tossed out in favor of actual jail time...

Look, it’s not actually expired. I mean, if it took forever to get to you, well, life happens, right? The statute of limitations starts counting from the moment the violation actually occurred... so if they filed everything just even one single day before that clock ran out, the whole thing is still totally valid.

Look, I’ll just lay it out for you straight—if you messed up, you gotta own it and pay the fine 😁

Just try to be a bit more careful next time so you don't end up having to 😁

The paperwork should have instructions on how to appeal the decision, so you really ought to follow those steps first... since the court isn't just going to let you slide into an installment plan automatically 😁 you're gonna have to formally request it. Usually, they're pretty reasonable about approving those requests, at least in my experience...

Just look into a payment plan. There’s actually been some discussion about this before...

I mean, I don't know if there's an exact match for your specific situation, but the deadlines, the appeals, filing objections, and all that legal maneuvering—it's pretty much the same stuff that applies to your case and any other misdemeanor you might run into...

honestly, just take a second to scroll through a few pages of this thread since it’s already been around for a bit... 🙂

Honestly, you both have a piece of this on your hands.

And as far as those legal violations go, there's already a massive thread covering all that... ☕

Look, I’ve heard the rumors and seen the proof with my own eyes...

But honestly, it doesn't even matter, because there’s already a massive thread covering all of this!! ☕

Arthur Ramos said:Wait, I’ve got one more quick question for you guys—does the statute of limitations start ticking from the actual day the violation happened (back in June 2007) or does it count from the moment that official notice was issued (December 2007)?

it starts from when the offense is committed (since they definitely don't just happen on their own 😁)...

I mean, sure, not every single example is going to look identical, but there are definitely enough similarities there that you can see the same underlying principle applies across the board...

If you seriously can't manage to find a single piece of useful advice after scrolling through eighteen whole pages of this thread, then honestly, more power to you...

Jurisdiction is always determined by where the crime actually went down...

it really all comes down to the specifics of the situation, how the judge handles things, and which court you end up in...

I just hit a pretty massive jackpot at the casino

and since my life is basically a total snooze fest right now, I’m thinking about "spicing things up" a little bit.

----

Here's what I'm wondering. Roughly what kind of fallout am I looking at if I do this:

I'm gonna make myself a "FOLLOW ME" sign out of LED lights—you know, kind of like those "POLICE - FOLLOW US" signs they use during chases
and mount it right on the back of my car.

Then I'll cruise around town late at night until I run into some cops...
flip the sign on, and floor it.

Alright,
this would involve speeding, blowing through multiple red lights, driving in the HOV lane, going the wrong way down a street, driving after 11 PM, failing to use turn signals, driving without headlights, and potentially some minor fender benders (with the cops), etc.

In any case, I'll be at 0.00 BAC.

Thanks a ton for the input!

just a heads up, I can't really help you with this one😁 😁 😁

Just sticking to the old ways...

Wait, weren't they supposed to send you in for a blood test? :mislis:

I mean, they've gotta have some kind of way to prove your actual BAC levels... but honestly, besides that, don't even try to play those childish games about being parked or whatever. Neither the judges nor the cops are actually that clueless 😉

Your best bet is to file an appeal, tell them at the hearing that you're currently between jobs, and see if you can talk them into a payment plan...

Section 41.

A perpetrator is not considered legally insane if they voluntarily brought themselves into a state where they couldn't understand the nature of their actions or lost control of their will due to alcohol, drugs, or other substances—provided that at the moment they entered that state, the crime they committed was something they intended to do or showed a reckless disregard for, assuming the law provides for punishment under that specific type of culpability.

so basically they're considered ACCOUNTABLE

Nicholas Chavez70 said:I was exaggerating there, though I suppose that’s how it looks—following some sort of twisted, nonsensical logic where you should probably just get hammered before committing a crime just to lighten your sentence... It's a bit absurd when you really sit down and think about it, isn't it?🙄

that's the only way you're seeing it...

Nicholas Chavez70 said:It’s not even a matter of being a bad person, it’s more like when things just go completely sideways out of nowhere—as the old saying goes, everything just falls apart...🙂 truly tragic, truly tragic...

So, I guess that pretty much kills your argument about being drunk counting as an excuse to lighten the sentence...
