didn't even know there was a warrant from a ticket i got 6 months ago. 2 days in county. they kept me for a day after the judge ordered my release. said I "slipped through the cracks"

for expired tags. stripped searched, kept in holding alone all night with nothing but a concrete slab to sleep on and a combined toilet / water fountain. they took my fingerprints, scanned my eyes, made me undress in front of them again, put me in a block, and made me wait. they didn't give me a phone account to call on, didn't give a fuck, and lost me in their system.

for expired license tags

I knew prison sucked, I've hated cops for longer than I can remember, but the cruelty first hand of this system will stick with me forever, and I was only there two days. nothing can communicate what prison is other than being there. it is just a torture facility, nothing else.

i only got out because of DSA comrades annoying them on outside, otherwise I would probably have been in there at least another day.

fuck 12

That fucking sucks man. Reminds me that the tags on my motorcycle are out of date even though I renewed my registration on time - replacement just hasn't arrived in the mail, even though the replacement sticker for my car already showed up and I ordered both at the same time.

What the actual fuck

There are no "tags" here because it's been possible to run licence plates see if the vehicle is registered for decades

the government is only capable of creating bureaucratic hurdles in the states that are designed to fine white people and jail black people, the point is that it's annoying and a dipshit like me can forget about it and get charged money for it (or in some cases, go to jail)
