What do you do on court day?

[Department stores *sigh*]

If you have warrants for your arrest and you have been sent to the city for court date do you;

A) Show up in a presentable manner

B) Make sure your lawyer is able to make it or any other relevant task.

C) Drop in at your local *mystore* and get caught stealing 15$ jeans, presumably because you didn't have anything decent to wear for your court appearance that afternoon and flip everyone off as your taken away by the police because "we dont know you".


Correct responses gain no marks on the test but I will deduct points for errors.

Well, there might be some crazy logic to the plan, as in, I can't technically be in prison if I'm always being called out and into court for something ELSE!


BWa ah ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa!

It's as you have said before, Argabarga - some people just never learn.

i'm guessing someone swapped extra strength stupid for his/her coffee creamer that morning.

My friend K had her car stolen a couple years ago. It was very quickly located, and the suspect apprehended.
Turned out it was her new neighbour, who had just gotten out of jail on parole for stealing cars, who stole her car so he wouldn't be late for a meeting... with his parole officer.

Far out....

Now that's what I call the Never say DUH, American way!

I especially love the "you don't know me" comment. When I see someone being dragged away in handcuffs with the evidence (stolen merchandise) in plain sight, I know everything I need to know.

[EvilEmpryss]

I may not know him, but I don't *want* to know him, either.

Nah..it was liquid cocaine. Only way to explain it.

Well, at least it was stolen by a professional >_> I'd hate to have my car jacked by some amateur...

Even worse, most charities will GIVE someone suitable clothes for stuff like a court date or a job interview. They may have to prove need, but it's not like that's a huge deal.

"I might not know you now...but you can be damn sure you're name and crime will be in the newspaper by tomorrow. Then everyone here will know you"

Okay, that was the most freakin' awesome quote I've read in a long time

And the record for going back to prison I'm pretty sure was the guy I read about in the newspaper a few years back who was in jail for car theft, was released, had nobody to pick him up from jail, and was arrested trying to break into/steal a car from the JAIL PARKING LOT within 30 minutes.....

[infinitemonkies]

There was a guy here in Victoria who only made it 11 minutes.
He was released from Wilkenson prison, walked a block over to a convenience store, where officers observed him shoplift some candy bars then break into 2 vehicles to steal a cell phone and some loose change. He's had something like 180 convictions in the last 20 years.

There is absolutely nothing I can say about this without fratching.
