What is the name of your state? new jersey.
here is my problem
i have recieved COUNTLESS tickets in new jersey ( when i was younger i was pretty bad and probably deserved it ) ( tickets )
now im trying to straighten it all out
one of the issues im having is - i cant get the police station to give me an excat amount of what i owe.-the lady at the desk says " its not my job to handel old tickets "
i understand its difficult to " gather up " all of my crap-but
a few years ago i had gotten in alot of trouble again ( i went to prision for a bb gun ) and i figured this was a good chance to take care of ALL my problems at once--so i contaced the police station " violations" and asked if i could get a date , deal with my warrents , total my fines , and pay
much to my suprise i found that half of what i thought i had ( pending , ect ) - wasnt there ? , i asked and made sure ( several times as to make no mistake )
later i was eventually released on a " program " from prision - and of course the conditions of this program was to not get arrested.--- so still paying my fines (to the township) and being released i contacted " violations" and did my proper adress change ( so they could send me warrents, ect )
SO a few months into this program i get arrested on pending warrents that i had in the same town i had just asked ( are you sure ?)
of course being the criminal i was it was difficult trying to explain to my i.s.p officer on just why i didnt get notifyed on my warrents.
more importantly --how did i get out of prision with warrents ?
to qualify for the release program i needed to continue employment-- so i had to " bond " out ( 750 bucks ) --to keep my job
and hire a lawyer to make my adress change " stick " ( 700+ bucks )
so far im 1400 buks or so ---that has no chance to making it to my fines--
i call the police station on a regular basis to check myself for warrents and to check to see if there is any " new " tickets .
i found this to be the best way
but now i have a new problem
every time i go and ask what i owe they keep giving me different numbers ( sometimes good sometimes bad ?)
i wish i could get something i trusted and was confident in that said "YOUR FINES ARE THIS MUCH -- IF YOU PAY THIS MUCH YOU ARE DONE WITH PAYING YOUR FINES --- "
but the lady at the desk says she cant do that .
I CANT EVEN REMEMBER WHAT I PAYED AND WHAT I DIDNT
I CANT REMEMBER 80 PERCENT OF MY TICKETS ?
some of these tickets go back to 1987
I COULD HAVE PAYED FOR THIS CRAP WILE I WAS IN JAIL--BUT THEY TOLD ME I DIDNT OWE.
my life is shot-- i cant tell an employer that im not in trouble with the law, i cant say my BAD life is behind me-- my wife has had enough because we thought all we had to do was deal with it and it will end --i cant leave the state ( because i have to be in walking distance of turning myself in ( when ever something new " pops " up ) and i dont have a licence-- because i have to pay my fines
i was sentenced--- but my sentence continues to change ( over 18 years ago to current )
i have bankrupted on my surcharges ( if that was all of them ?)
i would be eligeble to get my licence back ( in sept ) for the first time in 18 years ---but cant have a job driving , because if im revoked ( for tickets outstanding( that i dont know i have ) i will more that likley loose it.( and not know untill i get stopped )
tell it to my boss --- tell it to the judge ---in any event i loose
because i was sentenced-- i cant get a " hearing " with out first getting a warrent for non payment ( lady in violations )
to this day i can remember ( bob kelly ) ( police officer ) telling me
" im goin to ruin your life --ill cut tickets and hold them back so you can serve your driving on the revoked time seperately "
and i did
should i leave the country ?
the state had attached my parents house for the surcharges -- i dont live there.
i am depressed and no amount of medication can get me past this
I HAVE NEVER HAD A DWI .
what should i do ? pay a lawyer or pay my fines ?
thanx if you made it this far
sorry for the long letter
pass this to whom ever you feel fit
thanx for letting me vent
