What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Recently I went in to my Arraignment and I said I did not have the Bail amount for a 22350, Basic Speed Law. the Judge gave me I believe 60-75 Days to come up with the Bail Amount.
When I appeared in court it was a different Judge (Pro Tem instead of a Commissioner) and he read that I was order to post Bail of a small amount and for trial to be set. I told the Judge flat out No that I wasn't going to Pay, and demanded for my trial to be set without bail.
IMO I would think if I was the Judge I'de throw the Mallet at myself for telling Judge what to do and if he did I wouldn't blame him. But I don't want to pay for anything I don' have to even though it is their to make sure I attend trial.
The Judge looked at me pretty grim and told me to sit down, I basicly was one of the last people to go up again after the second call and I dont think he really remembered who I was after the 2nd time I went up due to the fact he asked me if I was going to post bail again in a totally clueless manner.
I told the Judge I would like to request for 45 Days time to submit a Written Points and Authorities to the court.
The ProTem granted the motion and I was on my way with a Smile.
Now I know things probably could of gone differently, but due to him being a Nice/Partly Clueless Pro Tem, lets just say the Judge was having a bad day. Could he of fined me Heavy due to not obeying orders or perhaps Jail time?
