She said derisively: "Well, did you DO it?". When I told her I thought the law was to stop thievery and not honest businessmen she basically told me it's all about the money.

Then I looked at the form they required me to sign which stated I was being ticketed for a misdemeanor, which carried a maximum penalty of $500.00 and up to 90 DAYS IN JAIL! Went back to the defender asking about bringing representation and she advised me to do so.



Hired my attorney. $500 EACH to defend the tickets given to me and my driver of the second truck. So now I'm out a grand.

Got court date set up for today, which I went with attorney. Turns out he was able to work a plea deal, I plead guilty and pay a fine of $150, and if I keep my nose clean for 90 days it is dismissed and expunged. Nothing on my record.

I'm not sure he was worth the money since I still had to pay, but who knows, without him I might've gone to jail.

Detroit can kiss my tailpipe.
Digusting how the "justice" system works

You freakin plead guilty and fealt like you were doing a good thing, gov still got there money and now a lawyer did too.
