This morning was lame. I got up at 8am, something I never
want to do again, and went to court to with my roommate to
get his restraining order extended. I had no idea what to
wear to court, and I have no professional clothes, only Urban
Outfitters version of sophistication. So, I wore pin-striped
low-rider jeans. Yeah, that was the best I could do. Anyway,
my roommates case was FIRST, which would have fucking awesome
because that would mean I'd be back in bed and asleep only
twenty minutes later; however, the lame ass who has the restraining
order on him got "legal representation," and that
damn lawyer wasn't there yet. I'm sorry, does anyone else
think that's weird? The lawyer just didn't get to court on
time. So, we were pushed to LAST. Big difference between first
and last. I watched all these little traffic cases, people
arguing against their tickets. I saw one situation that was
just total bullshit and put me in a bad mood. This girl was
pulled over by a cop waving at her since from the side of
the road - this cop having just pulled over someone else,
and the officer gave her a ticket saying, "I think you
were speeding." No radar, no speedometer (sp?), just
thinks it. The judge made the chick pay for the ticket. The
girl was pissed and asked why since there was no proof of
speeding. The judge replied, "I think you have a good
argument, it's just the scale tips towards the officer."
He made it seem like this imaginary scale is objective. There
IS no scale, buddy. You decide where it tips. Fucking judges
sometimes. Seriously.
