What is the name of your state? IL

Calatty, I was wondering if you could respond to my post that I posted a while back. I appreciate your anticipated help and knowledge. Sorry for posting in the "wrong" forum. I know that you read over here for sure. IAAL feel free to respond also.

Arrest - Suspended License
What is the name of your state? IL



I was pulled over and arrested for disobeying a stop sign. I also received tickets for driving on a suspended license and no insurance.


The reason I had a suspended license was no insurance before. I was pulled over 2/11 1:00 A.M.

I obtained SR-22 (Financial Responsibility) insurance 2/11 later that day at 12:57 P.M.

My questions are what should I plead at court? What will the fines be?

Thanks for your help. If you need any more info, please let me know


3/25/03 Adding to this, I did receive in the mail something telling me my license is alright so long as I don't have any more problems with it (which I obviously do though, because I haven't went to court yet)

Well, calatty? You want one of us idiots to take this, or is this worthy of your genius? A little tidbit for the peasants, please? Maybe if he was a child molester who ran a stop sign.....

Plea Bargains

If anyone could help me it would be appreciated. My main question is how would I go about arranging for a plea-bargain using the public defender and what plea-bargain do you think I could get?


Or should I ask for a continuation and get a lawyer? And is that a valid reason to ask for a continuation to seek legal representation?

Thanks in advance.

If you ran the stop sign, and have taken care of the insurance matter, there is probably no point in pleading not guilty.

And Amos, I defy you to find one place where I defended a child molester's actions. IAAL made that up so that he could turn his venom on me. Once someone said they thought a child was being molested but had no proof, and I advised them that the police cannot do anything unless there is some evidence. IAAL found this offensive, because he has zero experience and knowledge of criminal defense, and he doesn't understand it. Since you guys down South just lynch your suspects, you probably don't understand criminal defense either. If you care to educate yourself, which I am sure you don't, try:

So your advice is that I plead guilty on all counts? or do you think that they may throw out the driving on a suspended, and no insurance?

I defy YOU to find ONE place where I said you defended child molesters. Lawyer boy, wordsmith, look at what I WROTE:

"Maybe if he was a child molester who ran a stop sign....."

You can take that however you will, while we are in the DEFY mode. And howsabout if I fill you in on something else, Mr. "Bay Area"-Holier-Than-Thou-I'm-So-Refined-And-Righteous... how DARE you take whatever I say, good or bad, to disparage an entire section of the population of this country? Just who are you referring to here? Which exact portion of the members here on this forum are you talking about when you say:

"Since you guys down South just lynch your suspects, you probably don't understand criminal defense either"

You get your little silky panties all in a bunch about what I say, well then "turn your venom" on me, not everyone below the Mason-Dixon line. It sullies your sweet pureness.

And let me quote you here to tell you something else:

"Once someone said they thought a child was being molested but had no proof, and I advised them that the police cannot do anything unless there is some evidence. IAAL found this offensive, because he has zero experience and knowledge of criminal defense, and he doesn't understand it."

Well, I don't think that what IAAL, or anyone else for that matter, finds offensive has as much to do with their experience, knowledge and understanding of criminal defense as it does with their cumulative knowledge and experience in life in general, the fact that IAAL obviously knows much of this area of law notwithstanding. What we find offensive is much more complicated than that, so don't try to tout what you profess as your very narrow specialization as the meter to use for what we should or should not find to be offensive. You give yourself far too much credit, calatty.

So, that just about takes your entire response here and shows it for what it is, so much drivel. You, who were trained and educated for years and are supposed to have the ability to make your living with words! By God, if you are gonna lecture me on the need to educate myself, well, you better damned well top off your own tank...you are the one who spent years in law school, not me. Your little invitation of defiance was dismantled by an uneducated "Southern guy". That may not speak well of me, but it speaks less of you.

brotherhelp...

...can you possibly find a lawyer who will consult with you for little or no initial charge? If so, I think it would be worth your while to touch bases with one. Good Luck!

Results

Went to court yesterday, plead guilty got a 250 fine total. Which they took $90 from the bail bond money. I had to pay an additional $160 and now have supervision.

That's good stuff. And I have a valid drivers license.

jumpin' on the bandwagon or are we just sheep

AmosMoses,

"I defy YOU to find ONE place where I said you defended child molesters. Lawyer boy, wordsmith, look at what I WROTE:

"Maybe if he was a child molester who ran a stop sign....."

No you did not say it, but you did imply that calatty defended child molestors.

duplicate post:

I think if you do a search of calatty responses you'll find that he does not spend all his time extolling his virtures. I think you may find he spends unnecessary time defending himself from unnecessary PERSONAL attacks. Perhaps I missed it but I have not seen any attacks where someone has, with clarity demonstrated that the advice calatty has given was incorrect. I have seen him attacked because someone did not like the answer calatty provided and/or the person he provided it too. If someone is giving incorrect advice by all means do correct them. If you simply don't like the correct advice someone is providing, that's your prerogative. It is necessary that you attack their person?

People are accused and more often than not, guilty of heinous crimes. Sometimes they're accused and are not guilty or at least there is no evidence to suggest they are guilty except heresay (remember the McMartin preschool case?). It appears to me that you jumped on the "bandwagon" not because of what you know is true but because of statements written by others on this board. If I am wrong, do right me. The proof is in the pudding. Look at the whole of calatty responses rather than a thread or two.

brotherhelp:

Excellent, pal...you did good. Keep it between the ditches!

apples and oranges:

Let me go a little bit slower for you:

You state:
"I defy YOU to find ONE place where I said you defended child molesters. Lawyer boy, wordsmith, look at what I WROTE:

"Maybe if he was a child molester who ran a stop sign....."

No you did not say it, but you did imply that calatty defended child molestors.

I say:
Of course I implied it, as anyone who can read can see. That was precisely my intent, and I think that you must be the only person that couldn't grasp the obvious. I think even calatty understood that.


You said:

I say:
I am not about to waste my time doing a search of his posts, because I could not possibly care any less about what he has to say. If calatty didn't feel like he had to make fun of a member's sincere post to me, he wouldn't be getting my "venom". And, if he is spending his time defending himself from personal attacks, well hell, doesn't that say ANYTHING to you? No, probably not, so I'll explain it to you. If he is continuously being attacked personally, there is a reason behind it, and it's not the one that you and he seem to think it is, that he is somehow more enlightened than the common man and that is just his cross to bear. Poor, misunderstood genius calatty...ahhhh, yes, him and Galilleo.

I say:
When calatty, or anyone else, brings up a post of mine and ridicules another poster for answering me (Oh yes, the great and wonderful calatty did just that...course this is the same guy who SAID, not implied, that southern guys just lynch suspects), I feel like I have a right to answer, and I will. If you missed that post don't blame me. If you want to chime in (and evidently you do), well then do a little of this searchin' and checkin' you want everyone else to do. YOU can catalogue every post calatty ever made....hell you can bronze a hardcopy of it and hang it on the sh*&house wall, for all I care, just don't ask me to do likewise because you are gonna be disappointed.

I say:
What in the hell are you talking about?? You are downright babbling here, so I really don't know how to address this...you are earning your moniker here, that's for damned sure!! This sounds like you are replying to another thread! The only thing you are right about here is that I responded to a thread because of what someone else posted. Of course I post statements because of what others post. This is a forum. You do know that we are real people here, don't you? I mean, you do realize that your PC is not generating these responses don't you, and this is not the FreeAdvice virtual reality response game, don't you? And, please show me a post where I even hinted that everybody that was accused of something was guilty of it. I swear I don't even remember implying that, although evidently I did, because I swear I don't think even you would babble that much. Truly, you've lost me here.

Anyway, I'm going to yield the last word in this thread to you; you've got it, because at the tangent you are on we are gonna be talking about the birth rate of the lowland bog turtle or something shortly. Have at it, it's all yours!

It must be true... ignorance is bliss?!

I regret there are people like you on this forum (or in this world) who would offer legal advice to pedophiles. I bet you fondle children. How's that?
I'm surprised you aren't out today marching beside a pedophile who's protesting the war. I've never gotten "ugly" with you, but the crap above combined with the fact I've seen you give advice to molesters -- well..... it just doesn't add up that you give legal advice to molesters and then attempt to examine someone's sex life here when their response is "right on target". And why would you regret having spent five minutes of your time on IAAL here when you are so flipping liberal that you take the time to help druggies and child molesters? You don't have to answer.

Good God man, you are an attorney...I would hope that the amount of knowledge that you possess in these matters legal dwarfs what any of us laymen can come up with. That is your bag, your livelihood, and hopefully you have picked up something along the way in your years practicing law. But, as a laymen, when I ask a question, I am asking it because I want input. The more legally informed and educated the person is answering the query the "better" the answer usually is, so naturally a practicing attorney should present the absolute best answers. However, in the absence of one of these sweet little morsels doled out so few and far between by Your Eminence, I appreciate any and every response I get from the mere mortals. I have to laugh when IAAL gives an answer and peppers it with whatever nasty comments he can come up with...but, he IS answering to the tune of 20,000 times AND he is an attorney! Post conviction relief? I still don't know what it is, and if IAAL tells me it is such and such "but only a moron trailer trash idiot would ask a question like that, too lazy to look it up", well, hell, I STILL appreciate it. So, hows about if when someone gives me ANY advice on matters that you didn't see fit to respond to, why don't you just leave it at that. It's a damned sight far better than no answer, I can assure you. 20,000 "nasty" posts from IAAL? "Clueless" replies from hmmbrdzz? Silence from you? I'll take the two former ANY day, with a double dose of smarta$% from IAAL, to go.

Please note that prior to the response by hmmbrdzz on 03/22/03 @ 8:59 pm, calatty had NOT responded to or mentioned hmmbrdzz in either of these two threads. The battle was between IAAL and calatty and each were holding their own.

calatty did not mention you prior to any of your responses in either of these two threads.

You both made an implication that calatty is a pedophile. You both claim you to detest pedophiles and proclaim your love for children (from other posts). Yet both use the words "child molester" and "pedophile" as if you were saying "good morning."

Then you say:

Posted by AmosMoses (see previous post in this thread)

"When calatty, or anyone else, brings up a post of mine and ridicules another poster for answering me (Oh yes, the great and wonderful calatty did just that...course this is the same guy who SAID, not implied, that southern guys just lynch suspects), I feel like I have a right to answer, and I will. If you missed that post don't blame me." [BTW, I did miss that post. (not!) Was it before you or hummbrdzz attacked calatty? (no!)].

Now you pretend to be defending yourself and your fellow poster (hmmbrdzz) when you two attack calatty first.

Here is the "child molester" post:

What is the name of your state? Ohio

Not sure what you would call this or where to go for help or to turn someone in. When my wife was 16 (she is now 30) her brother on several occasions (her brother was 22 at the time) came into my wife's bedroom completely naked with an erection. She asked him what are you doing and asked him to leave and he would not and kept standing there. This happened 2 or 3 more times. The last time he got in the bed with her and she literally had to kick him. She told her granparents whom she lived with at the time but they just covered it up and never did anything about it. The brother has continued to do this same thing to young children. He was doing this to his stepdaughter and the stepdaughter's grandmother called Children's Services on him and his wife covered it up or somehow lied to them. He was found laying completely naked next to some infants that his wife was babysitting. He is a sick individual and God only know how many others or the real truth of what he has done to others. What can we do if anything? Who can we call? What kind of punishment etc?

calatty response:

The problem is that the DA or police cannot do anything to him until they have evidence that he committed a crime, so until then there is no point in calling. It is unfortunate that there are women who are willing to tolerate and cover up sexual misconduct by their husbands, but there is nothing you can do about it.
___

Please note that in the "child molester" post it does not ever say that the brother in law was fondling or had sexual intercourse with his "victims." In fact he begins his post with "Not sure what you would call this..." and it appears he dosen't know "... the real truth of what he has done..." "fly_mj" the originator of the post does not ever say he witnessed these acts. Please also read "fly_mj's" other posts. It appears this guy does not like his brother in law.

It is also noteworthy that calatty DOES NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM condone such behaviour in his response.

apples&oranges rebuttal:

Sit close... read carefully... The paragraph about guilt & innocence and the McMartin preshool case was written to demonstrate the effects of hearsay or how people "jump on the bandwagon" based on gossip and not what they actually know is true. Which in my opinion is what you did when you wrote "...Maybe if he was a child molester who ran a stop sign....." Since you rather not waste your time researching the truth and you're unable or unwilling to put my "babble" into context...

I can only lead the sheep to the water, I can't make them drink. As I did with hmmdrdzz, I too with you plead: "uncle."
