OT lawyers: WTF?
Posted on 10/31/17 at 4:10 am

I got a speeding ticket in Kentucky that I paid but TN didn't get the notification from KY that it was paid, so my license got suspended without me knowing.
I got a speeding ticket in podunct GA and found out my license was suspended as I was being hauled off in cuffs to county. I spent most of the night in a cell with a kid high on meth (that was actually interesting) and bailed myself out with cash.
I went to to court in GA a couple times trying to prove I had paid the ticket in Kentucky so they'd drop the driving under suspension and just let me pay the speeding ticket. While all this BS was going on I got a speeding ticket in VA which I just flat out forgot to pay and my license got suspended again.
About 1.5 years after the original ticket in GA, I showed up for the 3rd time in court with all my ducks in a row ready to get them to drop the driving under suspension charge and for the first time ever the asst DA asked to see my driver's license and had his man go run it to see if it's valid. When it came back suspended he asked the judge to throw the book at me. I explain that I have documentation to prove that it shouldn't have been suspended when I got the original ticket and that this is a recent suspension for a paid ticket that I'm trying to get cleared between VA and TN. The judge is about to side with me because I have all this documented and the DA asks me how I got from Nashville to GA for court. I paused too long before saying my wife drove me. He gave me a couple hours to produce my wife (who may or may not have been in another state).
When court broke for lunch, I left and went back to Nashville rather than take a chance of this DA having me arrested for driving myself to court. I called the judge's secretary's voicemail and made up an excuse for why I had to head home in a rush and asked her to reschedule me a court date.
That was almost 2 years ago. I haven't heard a thing from them since. No bench warrant notification or anything. I kind of wanted my $1,000 bail money back, but I'm ok with letting them keep it if I never have to set foot in that shitty little town to face that vindictive, power-tripping DA again.
Am I in the clear? Should I call them and find out whatever became of my case?
PS. relax, I haven't gotten a speeding ticket in 3 years.

Bruh, you never walk into Court without a lawyer.

I've been so many times, though, man. I know how it works. This guy just got a hard on for me. Judge was ready to let me go on my way, but this fricking guy..

so am I in the clear? They keep my K and we act like the whole thing never happened? If there was a warrant, I'd know about it, right? And if there isn't a warrant after 2 years, surely there's not going to be one.

I don’t know, man.
In my vast legal knowledge; you are probably facing the death penalty for being trashy several other times.

If I was you, I'd say the frick out of VA and GA. Because you're going to jail in both places.
Also, you should stop driving because you absolutely suck at it. Sell you car.

Judge said you if go within 100' of that place, you'll get thrown into County. You know what they make you do in County? Toss the salad.

What is wrong with you? And why would anyone want to waste good advice on you when you’d clearly wipe your arse with it and then drag race through the smokies to throw it away.

I'm all good in VA. Taxes, I mean tickets are paid up. Kids are tucked in. Everyone's happy.
Just worried about GA.

So you lied to the Judge.

Yeah. I don’t think they tell you. You’ll just get arrested if you get stopped.

Which is why you haven’t been arrested. Yet.

First thing I was thinking.

Stop breaking the law. 
Posted on 10/31/17 at 5:39 am to olgoi khorkhoi
Ok.
So in addition to not showing up to Court without an attorney; DO NOT EVER discuss your case with anyone BUT YOUR ATTORNEY.
Btw, I am not an attorney; but I’m also not completely fricking retarded.
Good luck.

I'm pretty sure you're fricked if you ever get stopped again for anything.
