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
and now im supposed to just walk around and act like everything is normal
it is just a torture facility, nothing else.
I have a family member that was a corrections officer and I can corroborate that. They straight get off on it too. I remember him telling me gleefully about how they all ganged up on this one guy that pissed them off for some reason, idk if he struck one of the officers or just mouthed off back at them or something, but he basically described a gang of them beating his ass in his cell.
prison guards might be the most thoroughly inhuman group on this planet. even some regular cops are otherwise “good people” who probably don’t stay cops for very long. but i dont think ive ever heard of a prison guard who wasn’t a sadistic piece of completely irredeemable shit
I have known a few corrections officers that were just milking the clock in one of the few ways a person can to get by. They talked about trying to treat their charges well and just keep their heads down. Still bastwards for not burning the place down but what can you do
I admit that I only knew one. He was a family friend that had some very shitty tendencies. He stopped being a prison guard some time after he apparently got the shit kicked out of him by some inmates. When I learned about it I said “probably deserved it”
I have a family member who quit his job as a correctional officer after just a few months due to how his colleagues were treating the inmates. He went to work at a homeless shelter instead and became a pillar of the community to the point of being the only one to manage a rapport with some of the addicts and what not 😎
Sorry comrade the sucks, fuck cops, jails, cars, america in that order
the fact that it’s literally all in the service of car is one of the funniest and most upsetting parts of the mess
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
Cops are fucking pathetic. Reminds me of the tweets UK police would make about shit they confiscated and one of them was literally just candy. They confiscated candy from some people who have a “suspiciously large amount”
And they’re proud enough to post about it. Scum the lot of em.
Your comment reminded me of this one too, the pigs posing with their ‘homeless quilt’ (sic from image source) made out of signs:
