What the hell is wrong with the idiots in the government these days? They're so petty that they go after someone over a $12 trespassing fine from 1984, but they won't do a thing to abusive teen "rehabs" that destroy lives.
Recently, a northeastern Ohio man got pulled over on his motorcycle because of a burned-out taillight. It's a pretty minor matter, and you'd think that at most he might get a small citation for it. But instead he got jailed immediately when police discovered he had a warrant over a trespassing charge from 24 years ago.
Back in 1984, when the man was 26, he got busted for trespassing for camping in a gravel pit at a local business. He was fined $25 but could only pay $13, leaving him still owing $12.
But now, at the age of 50, he had to spend a night in jail until his wife could produce the $91.50 that the court was suddenly charging him for the 1984 trespassing incident. This ordeal spanned both the county where the man was recently picked up and the one where the trespassing occurred. Yes, there's actually 2 counties in Ohio that dwell on stupid crap from 24 years ago. (Some of my school harassers must have taken over those counties.)
To add insult to injury, the $91.50 includes a $10 jail fee. In other words, they made him pay $10 to go to jail, when he never should've gone to jail.
So in Ohio, a man went to jail and almost lost his job all because of an ancient trespassing warrant, but the youth torture racket operates without any limits. How topsy-turvy can you get?

You are absolutely correct. I guess if you have the money, you can literally get away with torture and murder in these teen programs. Truly disgusting.
ReplyDeleteI think the $10 dollar fee is similar to the fee I had to pay once for being transported from one county to the other. In my case, it was called the Sherriff's fee and was also $10 dollars. That was back in 1990 though.
I feel safer knowing that officer protected and served by locking up that dangerous individual. I can sleep tonight.
Unfortunately there are kids in residential treatment programs across the country that won't be sleeping much at all tonight. I guess the police aren't allowed to arrest someone if the crime is really bad, they have to write tickets and take orders from a corrupt system. No wonder the cops are so pissed off all the time, they can't even protect children from being tortured.
