My partner got a ticket when they were 12 for riding a bike without a helmet. They were riding home from school. They had to go to a court, AT TWELVE, where the judge scolded them and gave them an official warning, but threw out the ticket.
It's no wonder they grew up to become an anarchist. This country and its use of police is obscene
My first time in court was at 7, for truancy, and they made my seven year old ass plead guilty. Didn’t explain to me why you go to school, didn’t ask why I wasn’t going, just told me if I didn’t go to school I’d be in contempt of court. And when I still didn’t go to school, they held me in fucking contempt of court lmao, and ordered my mom to go to school with me for a time.

Amerikkka is and always has been an apartheid police state.
