What is the name of your state?Michigan

I spent 7 days in oakland county jail and i just receieved a bill for 420 dollars(60 a day). Now i am very confused, i cant believe that most of the people in their that i met could possibly be able to afford the 60 dollards a day. I know i cant. Can someone explain to me the whole deal wiht the charges? How can i get out of paying it all since i cant afford it?

My response:

The "whole deal" is that you committed a crime, and I, as a taxpayer, was housing you - - all because YOU decided to commit a crime. So, now I want my money back from you. Jails aren't cheap and someone has to pay for them. As a law abiding taxpayer, I don't mind "fronting" the money to pay for your housing, or your food. BUT, once you're out, your ass belongs to me and all the other taxpayers.

Rest assured, at some point in your life, you'll be paying me back - - all the while interest will be accruing at 10% per annum. So, pay me now, or pay me later. But, you will pay, more than probably through earnings garnishment.

Well first of all you are wrong, i talked to them and they said NO interest will be add'd, i can pay it whenever i woudl like.

Now i dont know what ur deal is, i asked a simple question. I learned from my mistakes and am really a good person. I do not use drugs or anything like that and i am a college student(duke) who will be very succesful. All i did was ask a simple question and would appreciate a simple non smart alek answer.
 
I would also like to add that for example when i was in court a guys phone rang and the judge said "10 days in jail or pay a 100 dollar fine" If he would have chosen jail than he would of had to pay 600 dollars(60 a day). So i dont understand?

Simple answer: Pay your fee and quit crying about it. You won't ever be as successful as you want to be unless you learn to take responsibility.

Simple question: What makes you think the rest of society wants to pay for your 'mistakes' instead of the cost falling on you?

My response:

Bullcrap. You're still lying. Don't you learn?

Give me the name of the person you spoke to, and the phone number. I'll talk to them for you, and then if they give me the same "story", I'll inform them of the law in California.

Yeah, right - - "pay it whenever you like". What a pile of horsesh!t that statement is!

Did you also ask about the penalties for not paying it on time?

Does "successful" people who have a criminal record live on another planet? They must do, cause I've never seen one on this planet.

My response:

Does successful people? How about "Do successful people?"

They must do? How about "They must".

cause? How about "because".

Do you have problems with grammar and the state of being?

You're reading a post from someone who doesn't have a criminal history. That's one of the reasons why I was accepted into the State Bar of California.

Next time, write the English language correctly. Then, you won't have to look like the emotion-packed, female, dummy that you've shown yourself to be.

The post wasn't directed at you!! OP was claiming he was going to be such a successful person and that's what I was referring to, he HAS criminal record.

Most the OPs here talk getto/street talk with non perfect grammar or words so I was writing in their language so they can understand. I obviously hit a nerve in you, hm.....
The fact that you took it so personally and assume every post is about you speaks for itself!
But since you want to rattle my cage when I haven't even written about you :confused: :confused: :confused: , I'd rather be a woman with emotions than a lonely, defensive(for no reason)"man" who thinks the world revolve around him.

Can this bs that started without cause end now, please?

My response:

First of all, you never said to whom you were directing your missive.

Second, you seem to have an impression that "successful" people have criminal records - - because "you've never seen one" who didn't. All I'm telling you is that I'm one of those people whom most would say is "successful" - - yet, I don't have a criminal record.

So, open your eyes, and get out a little more. There's more to life than those found in your trailer park, and there are millions of us non-criminals out there.

You misinterpreted me ...again. I didn't say that successful people have a criminal record, I commented THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Read posts twice if you need to.
The trailer park comment is getting old, I've never even been in one, so I obviously don't live in one.
I am a non-criminal myself, so use the slapping for people that actually use up YOUR tax dollars instead of on us who don't.
