didn't even know there was a warrant from a ticket i got 6 months ago. 2 days in county. they kept me for a day after the judge ordered my release. said I "slipped through the cracks"

for expired tags. stripped searched, kept in holding alone all night with nothing but a concrete slab to sleep on and a combined toilet / water fountain. they took my fingerprints, scanned my eyes, made me undress in front of them again, put me in a block, and made me wait. they didn't give me a phone account to call on, didn't give a fuck, and lost me in their system.

for expired license tags

I knew prison sucked, I've hated cops for longer than I can remember, but the cruelty first hand of this system will stick with me forever, and I was only there two days. nothing can communicate what prison is other than being there. it is just a torture facility, nothing else.

i only got out because of DSA comrades annoying them on outside, otherwise I would probably have been in there at least another day.

fuck 12

    Can't offer anything other than solidarity. Ending up in jail and the system is a fear of mine. I've driven drunk and with expired shit before. Not fun.

      i was totally sober so i wasn't even balling.... smh

      this exact scenario has been a recurring nightmare of mine for years actually, my dad was in corrections and gave me both a fear of jail and car stuff

      my immediate suggested course of action is to drive as little as possible, fuck car

      my other suggested course of action should not be posted publicly
