I had a really nice cell to myself.
The really nice policeman even brought me tea and magazines

Kristine,
the police cells out there are a lot more friendlier than the city jails here. The cops realize when someone has been a bit stupid and gotten drunk, they'll let them sleep it off, slap 'em on the wrist and fine them then they can go home.

Here, you get processed through the jail system, drunk and disorderly will get you thrown in a cell that may include murderers, druggies etc and the water is a drinking fountain on top of the toilet.
On top of that, you'll then have to go to court a few days later. If you're not released on bail or your own recognizance, you're in jail a maximum of 72 hours before you go to court.

I had a toothless old black woman with cornrows leering at me asking "what'd you do ta get in?"
also the guard wouldn't let me pee because I laughed at him.

This whole tea and magazines shit angers me.

So's mine.
One domestic violence (for hitting the ex after he beat the lliving shit out of me), and one stupid DUI - lesson learned on that one!

yeah, DUI here too
I got full fucking extent because my father insisted I pay for the best lawyer in town, anyone else I know that got the town attorney didn't get shit.
Fucking bullshit, if I'm going to get punished fully so should they.
Fuckers.

I didn't even get a trial. My lawyer was late and I hadn't met him before that day.
All in all it was shitty.
I'm not saying I don't deserve what I got.
It could have been a hell of a lot worse, I could've killed myself or anyone else and I'm thankful for getting that DUI.
It saved my life.
/seriousness over

I got to be honest, I've found america's ages of things quite weird.
I mean, driving at 14, sex at 18 and drinking at 21... it just seems wrong to me.

you actually can't get your learner's permit until 15 and 6 months in Virginia
and I think it's just wrong that your legal age is 16, maybe it's because I've grown up here but the idea of sleeping with a 16 year old is just gross.
( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 11 Dec 2009, 21:18, Reply)

I can see what you mean, I feel the same way about 14 year olds, which is the age for a lot of mainland europe.
I think there should be some sort of buffer, a 16 year old and a 15 year old isn't that big of a deal, a 30 year old and a 15/16 year old is.

You peed against the statue of Lincoln didn't you?

( girlinthehole, Fri 11 Dec 2009, 20:07, Reply)

yeah
I was lucky though, I happened to be stupid on a quiet night and also sobered up very quickly. I had a good experience in the cells and a good outcome too. I'd like to think that a burglar or someone similar would be dealt with differently
