I get to attend court with almost all of the friends I got ticketed with. I'm hoping it will make it a little less shitty.

Be sure not to act like an idiot in court. Be the most serious, polite person, no matter how your friends are acting. Being cool in a courtroom will not make a judge like you.

what'd you get ticketed for?
i had to go to court last summer for an open bottle citation, it was dumb. waited an hour for a 5 minute conversation with the judge, went to narcotics anonymous for 1 session, and charges were dropped.

My roommate and I got to go to court on the first day of summer break last year for underage drinking. We pled guilty paid a $150 fine and had it wiped from our records.

you got pretty lucky, and $150 isn't too bad....we get $300 drinking tickets here.

Oh, and say your sorry for whatever. There was a case where it was like 3 friends, and 2 of the guiltiest ones said they were sorry and got off with less prison time then the one who didnt do much.

Not saying you'll get prison time, I didnt even read your post. But say your sorry anyways

Ugh have fun with that. I HATE court. You wait basically 3 hours to go in and talk to the prosecuter for about 10 minutes.

my friend and i had our court date on the same day, luckily.
but we had community service on seperate days, so that sucked. i got the better end of the deal, though. she had to clean the city streets, and i had to clean at the YMCA.

me: yeah..
"go to this rehab meeting and it'll be dropped"
me: ok

Exactly, I've been to court before.

I got a minor in possession of alcohol (2 cases of beer).

I'm currently fighting a case of felony possession of a controlled substance. Drugs are bad - Don't do drugs. Lol.

Yeah I may have exxagerated a little...more torwards 5 to 7 minutes. I was also asked if I had an alcohol problem. My story was a little more complicated, so the prosecutor asked a few more questions. (I completley lost my temper and said a few choice words to the police...ugh)

It was just possesion of alcohol by a minor. I should have never fucking been arrested in the first place though. Basically me and my boyfriend had gotten in a fight after a party and he told me to get out of his car, haha so I did. It was a bad part of town. Something bad happened after that, and there was a police station there. So I walked to the police station, crying because I was upset...which they clearly took for extreme drunkness. I basically just wanted help, and after I decided they really wouldn't be able to help me in any way I agreed I said I was going to leave. They wouldn't let me. and I'd had a pretty horrible experience, so I let it loose on them haha. I told one he was a fat disgusting piece of shit, etc. etc.


So he goes "I'm going to find a way to arrest you." and then takes me bag and goes through it and finds a handle.

Yeah so basically the prosecutor couldn't charge me for anything, that would have been horrible.

Haha oh god, I would do something like that to. It was sort of like a tote bag. I buy bags only if they pass the handle test.
