LIVID.
FUCKING L I V I D.
And so powerless.
At the mercy of an authorative power and a court system thats so biased and backwards I can't even begin to wrap my skull around it.
I had my court date today for my birthday arrest. I plead not guilty. Thankgoddess, because if i'd plead guilty I'd be sitting in a jail cell right now for the next 30 days.
My first ever criminal charge. EVER. I've never been in trouble, even before I reached the age of 18. I have been a designated driver since I got behind the wheel of a car at 17. I'd pick my mom up at the bar to keep her from driving home drunk. I'd always be the sober one to make sure my friends could party hard and get home in one piece.
I plead not guilty and they curtly inform me that I had no choice. State and Police requested 30 days jail time. No choice of a fine. When I originally researched the charge online, it states in several places that the worse I could face was $500-$1,000 in fines, or 1 day in jail. There is a big difference between 1 and 30 days in jail. I could handle one. BUT 30? 30 days of no working or income, trapped in one big room with 20 other women? THIS IS MY FIRST OFFENSE. They want to make and example out of me because of all the under aged drinking problems they've been having in Maine.
I HONESTLY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY WERE UNDERAGED. They were all in fact, 20. So close its painful, and members of bands who played at my party. As for my little brother... MY DAD GAVE HIM THE BEER. And sat there drinking it with him. RAWR x.x

I have so much more I want to write but I'm shaking and angsty and I need to go pound something until my knuckles bleed. And believe me... thats very uncharacteristic of me.
All I gotta say is fuck living in this backassward state where cops have nothing better to do then fuck people over so then can put gas in their fucking Police Hummers.
