flyboy: I will spend one post trying to explain to you what you want explained. After that if you want to continue on the way you have so far, you will be doing it without response from myself.
First, if you have read the posts, I have taken responsibility for my actions and not once did I try to say otherwise. In fact, several times, I went out of my way to clarify that it was my own fault.
Showing up after the fact and saying "uh, I overslept" and telling sob stories--no matter how true they may be--isn't going to impress a prosecutor who has heard them all before.
About 2-3 years ago the court here allowed a person to reschedule even when they had already missed their court date. Nobody speaks to the prosecuter, they speak to a low-level clerk who would retract the warrant and reschedule for another date, no questions asked, no reason necessary. And, unless you want to make a deal with one of the ADAs or make a request for a jury trial, you don't even speak to a prosecutor, you speak directly to the judge.
You're making statements based upon what you think you know, or how you think things should be.
This statement by you is a gross exaggeration to the point of being a lie.
particularly easy for them to make your life hard when you actually did something wrong in the eyes of the law.
I never said that I didn't do anything wrong or that Ididn't break the law. In fact, I stated otherwise.
If by "policy" you actually mean "the law," then yes, you are correct.
I've already addressed this one, but the decision to not reschedule court appointments is policy. The issuance of a warrant is law, whether they allow the person to reschedule and retract the warrant is policy.
Or you could be aware that A) you violated the law, and B) an outstanding warrant renders your permit invalid. You know, being responsible for yourself, and all that.
A) I was aware that I violated the law.
B) This also is known.
However, other people may not. And if myself/they
uknowingly missed their court date, then they wouldn't know that I/they were carrying illegally. And is it worth it to the CJ system to make a mountain out of a molehill? Essentially escelating a traffic offender into a possible felon for a mistake that the one cop I spoke to states happens all the time? Once again, we'respeaking about traffic violators here.
You go on to make assertions that I'm somehow whining, when in fact nothing like that occurred. I mentioned multiple times that I was at fault for my actions. All I did was try to show the mitigating circumstances surrounding the situation. Nowhere was I saying that I was falsely picked on or that they deputies were at fault or anything else. What I did say was that one deputy wanted to go beyond, what I felt, was the scope of his duty and possibly violating the rights of myself and the other person who was there. This is confirmed by the fact that the other deputy declined to take action with regard to confiscating weapons and the other persons cc permit.
You also go on about something from another thread that has absolutely nothing to do with this one, other than the made-up whining that you claim I'm doing.
And, after all of that, you expect sympathy.
Never in any of these, did I state by implication or otherwise, that I was expecting sympathy. Once again, I stated several times that I was wrong. I was asking, and did ask, about whether anyone thought that it was out of line for a deputy to want to confiscate an innocent bystanders permit and his, and my, guns just because they were in the same building as my arrest.
I had issues with policy, specifically related to my arrest, because of the statements made through the local media, that the sheriffs department was complaining that they had to let staff go and were undermanned because of budget cut-backs. I was questioning a policy change of wasting resources chasing down traffic warrants for individuals with no priors when they are complaining of a lack of resources. My arguement was to the wisdom, or lack of, in the decision to vigorously enforce this policy change. I did this by mentioning other people who had similar circumstances as well, and by showing that it wasn't a money-making decision, which would normally be an argument for such a thing. But you don't, and didn't, stick to the facts of what was said, you take bits and pieces and exaggerate them to make rude comments that really are out of context and add nothing to the argument since they're innaccurate statements to begin with. I don't have issue with someone disagreeing with me, it's when someone takes comments out of context and is rude about it.
Try making your point without intentionally being rude about it. Someone might actually care to see your point. You seem to be so closed minded to other people that you carry on from one discussion to another with the exaggerations. I can completely disagree with you in one conversation and then completely agree with you the next without applying some made-up opinion.
