What is the name of your state? California
I am being charged with 2 counts of battery (242) and 1 count of 415 (3) - not sure what that is - against security guards, though I was the one who ended up with bruises.
Although I want to file counter criminal charges and fight this, I've been told that that is not up too me, but the DA. I feel very strongly that the officer was biased in the report (which I have never been allowed to get a copy), and though it was I who was wronged from the start, I am the one defending myself.
My question is:
#1 should I fight for my rights--but go up against a GIANT corporation...which might cost $10,000 OR
#2 accept the charges (fines equaling $3000, but have a permanent conviction on my record OR
#3 do whatever I can (even if if mean unfair jail time!) to get charges dropped?
Thank You
