Rumors Rumors... Look at all the people come for rumors

monday night i was goin out to CC to meet some friends and i got about 40 miles out and i got pulled over by the Indiana State Police. Turns out the little lights that are on the back of my car that shine on my license plate were burnt out. So then i gave him my license & registration. he came back and asked me to step out of the vehicle because i had a warrant out for my arrest and my license were suspended. i said "****in'ell not again". My license really are not suspended, it has just said that in the computer system since 1999. *note the last time i got pulled over in june of 2000, they said they were suspended. I called Indy and they said it was a mistake and that they would fix it. My last ticket was actually in may of 1997. So my record is squeaky clean now.* So anyway, i have a piece of paper from Indy that says it was a mistake and i had the police officer get that out of my car. and then he said "Shit, you shouldnt be going to jail.. but i haev to take you because of the warrant. So he handcuffs me, puts me in the front seat (930pm) and we drive back to town. We get there and i went to elementary school with one of the police officers in Booking, and the women there was a friends of mines mom from elementary as well. (she was like a third mom to me). So, you ask what my bond was.. $5,000 cash only. Yes i know.. a bit much. So they say they will get me out asap, i'll go to court in the morning. So since it was about 11pm then, i was like "hell i can spend the night in jail. all i will do is sleep til my court time the next morning. So i call my older sister and tell her to go to my puppie from my house and that to pick me up tomorrow from the court house. So the next day comes and my name doesnt get called. so my family comes up with the $5000 but they think they only had til 4pm to get me out (they had til 9pm). so i sit in jail another night and then my court time was 10 am yesterday. So my lawyer hands the judge the paper and she says "Oh miss morrison, i am so sorry this has happened, they should have put this in your file the last time you brought it down, and it should have been fixed in the computer system by now, case dismissed, you are free to go" ok that was the gist of it i got out yesterday about 1pm or so. but yes it was a complete horrible experience for me. In the cells.. it was bad.. really bad. an experience that isnt on my record anymore but one that i will never forget. and i will never be in any kind of situation that would moderately put me anywhere close to being in jail again.

here is the paper, if anyone was wondering what exactly it says

Talk about a crappy experience. I say sue Indiana for mental suffering while you rotted in jail because of thier error. Sue 'em for everything they've got!

Or just repress the memory and curl up into a ball in the corner and eat ice cream for a couple of days (mmmm...mint chocolate chip).

Persoanlly I'd make up some crazy story...like arrested for indecent exposure or beating the crap out of someone so bad they went to hospital for a couple of days. But that's just me.

I'd sue 'em too. That kind of error is totally irresponsible.

I had something similar happen about 20 years ago;

this drunken kid ran up into our front yard and almost crashed into my daughters bedroom window (she was 1 at the time). If he had she would have been killed for sure as she slept against the exterior wall.

Anyhow....it went to trial where I appeared as a witness. The guy was found guilty of reckless driving, went to jail etc. and we all thought it was over. That was until I got a letter from the Secretary of State informing me that my license was revoked because of my conviction for running up into my own front yard

It was obvious what happened: the court clerk had put the guys conviction into my record by mistake.

I went in and saw the Judge who heard the case and he went totally thermal. I ended up with a letter from the Judge to all concerned replaying the circumstances and informing any cops to call him at work or home if they had any questions.

Sure enough some moron cop pulled me over based on a hit-sheet and was going to arrest me, at least until I showed him the Judges letter and informed him that if I went to jail everyone who was even in the cop-house today was getting sued, including his boss and the dispatcher

He radioed his desk sargent and came back with this; "sorry for the inconvenience sir. go on your way....."

Damn government pencilnecks.....

Everything they've got!?! It's Indiana man. That's about 53 cents. They can't even spell "VALID" correctly.

Yup they left out the "E"
I would say it was a VAILED status myself.

i'm hoping for some kind of compensation. but i'm afraid to sue. The one thing you dont want to do to get on their good side is sue. that would just be a lifetime of hell.. well i guess i could sue then move to a different country.

[KvHagedorn]

Sue the living shit outta them. You could just move and drive around Indiana whenever you go anywhere from now on, but that shouldn't be necessary. If you sue and win they would probably go out of their way never to **** with you again. If they do, sue em again and again until they get the message. People are like dogs.. they will **** with easy targets, but if you turn around and throw a rock at their head, they respect you. (I used to have fun like that when I walked a paper route.. people would let their dogs roam free and they would run in packs. I got surrounded two or three times, so i started carrying rocks in my bag. When the mangy curs ****ed with me, I would just go after the biggest one and pound him HARD. They left me alone.)

And I bet the people on your route definately paid for their subscriptons on time

[KvHagedorn]

Everyone who wants some bitter experiences about how the world really works should get a paper route, or make your kids get one. I wound up very short tempered and nearly homicidal from being constantly shit on. Imagine getting up at 3am for 500 days straight and getting your papers late because the cheap bitch that owns the newspaper won't spring for a paper-assembly machine that works, then having to bag 300+ fat sunday papers because it's raining, then having people angry at you and accuse you of staying up all night and partying because you're late with their paper, and of course they are the only ones who matter in their eyes.. they all want their paper first.



Don't mess with your paper carrier.. ever!

Couldn't agree with you more Chuck!
