Looks like I'll be spending June 4th through June 11th in The Jupiter Florida Correctional Facility. Apparently I had too many "crimes" on my record (three, not counting this one, 2 speeding and one for underage drinking). This is total bullshit and I'm fucking done with the "law system" of this country. A week in jail for having a record that is a quarter of a lot of the guys I know. Forget doing tuneups for the police cruisers and forget doing maintenance on any of their squad cars. Before I agreed to work on their cars they were cruising around in ford POS's from the 80's that barely ran, and guys got away from them all the time. Looks like our agreement means jack shit to them.

So, did the kids on their dirt bikes get a ticket?

That's all there is to it, and the reason it was so quick is because the judge is a personal friend of one of my family members. He knew I wanted to get it over and done with as quick as possible.

The kids never got a ticket and their parents were laughing from their doorstep when I was questioned by the officer.
