So a couple nights downtown I was drinking at a bar. Im 20 so Im underage. The cops always walk through all the bars here looking for underagers and I have never gotten tapped in the past but that night I did for some reason (I think it was because I had shaved a few hours before haha). I was just straight up with them and they were cool about it, weren't gonna write me a ticket for my fake ID, just minor in possesion of alcohol.
So anyway, they run my name and a warrant pops up in this other county that I got a ticket in this summer. I paid that shit but I paid it late. I had forgotten about it and then finally I got some shit in the mail saying that if I didn't respond within 15 days I would have a warrant out blah blah blah. So I call them up and find out what I gotta do and they said all I had to do was pay the original amount and I would be fine they assured me. So I do that and I see the check clears and everything so I call them up and they say they got the payment and I don't have to do anything else.
So I had to spend 5 hours in jail and pay a bondsman $90 because my friend couldn't get enough to cover the whole bond. I call that court in the morning and they say there is no reason that should have happened and that they have no record of putting a warrant out for me. I didn't get an apology, nothing. So when I go to see the judge here I ask him if there was anyway I could get that $90 back somehow. He said that when that mistake happens here the court will pay that person their bond back or whatever they had to pay their bondsman. I called the court AND the judge up there in the other county trying to get a response, left a couple messages at each place and Im getting nothing. I am fucking pissed and I don't think I will see that $90 again because they fucked up and I went to jail for nothing.
Sorry to vent but I am pissed about this, wouldnt you be?
