I wish it was just a single incident, but it is more compounded than that.<br>The light pole was perhaps the worst for me because of the insulting my beloved wife. But the DA was willing to take the argument to extremes... And try to get me to break more laws just to get a conviction. I wanted a lawyer and was refused when the charges were made to a lesser degree. I felt just to prevent a lawyer. I was extremely poor then, living off less than $4,000.00 a year for 2 people, and with no other kind of welfare.<br>Previous to this I had been living in a tee pee for 3 years due to the fact that I had been hurt on the job,( 2 herniated disks and 1 shattered) and was also far behind with child support, which is now paid in full, and history. But then I had been fighting in court over 10 times, all with no lawyer.<br>My first wife wanted until a lawyer took her for the greedy woman she is, a simple divorce. But then the lawyer decided he could get more by raking me hard, and he did. He was also a Northern County Judge, but acting as a lawyer for her.<br>I caught him in lies and he was relieved from the case in time, but was replaced by another lawyer doing the same things, and again another lawyer which my son out grew, and after that my X still tried. She brought up more with out bothering to tell me, and her lawyer let her do it! I ended up in court with just a notice to do so with no idea why! I was given no warning, or shared information of any kind. In that hearing I was asked by the judge what I intended to do about the monies asked for, and I stood there rather stupid looking, and asked what this was all about HUH??? My kid is of age, she has been paid off 100%,.... money for what?? The judge went ballistic when my X's lawyer said I had not been informed of tuition requests before the hearing, and I was forevermore released! Finally!!!!!<br>The court never kept the rulings fair, and I was to have been able to "Have My only SON for the weekend every other weekend. I got to only see him 3 times in 10 years! I had a guardian adlitium appointed, and Once the guardian called and made no quirks and miffs... that if I wanted to see my son that up coming weekend to call my X. She told me that she just got off the phone with my X and that I was to call pronto post haste! I did so for 30 minutes getting a solid busy signal. I called the Guardian back to say so. I was answered with "Impossible", but 45 minutes later the guardian called to say "Oh I see what you mean." This was related at the next hearing and was ignored, and were all the other stipulations my X broke, which remained that way until I was finally released from the contracts that ended upon my son's age, and the courts decision to do so.<br>My son had returned him self to me now that he can't be disallowed..... He is doing well, and our relation has recovered, but not due to the courts.....<br>The court tolerated all kinds of mischeif from all 3 lawyers. I am proud that I with no lawyer was able to have the crooked judge lawyer barred from the case, but disappointed that since he was a big wig judge lawyer that he felt he had to cheat to win. Why is this cheating to win something a judge lawyer no less has to do to win?<br>Just like the weather report.... You are 100% correct! I ordered up a weather report, and had no I idea that it would be considered that I had some how altered it!!! I was lucky that my photos were counted, and allowed! I was questioned about who took them, and fortunately I had taken them all, and had a common developing done. had I developed them myself they would have been tossed out. I did not know that fact either....<br>I could not afford a lawyer I was barely eating, and I could not be appointed a lawyer in either of those cases.<br>Quasi Latin was used as much as possible, and I am hard of hearing..I can hear but not well, and my hearing aids did not work well at all in a court room with height ceilings and hard bare walls. About all I could hear was steam in the heating system, and stand there and wonder what the words were that I was hearing. I was under extreme pressure just to think.<br>I complained that I could not determine the words, so the hearing were moved closer to the boilers! That made things worse! I asked to be able to stand closer to the judge, but that idea went up in flames. My current wife was sometimes allowed to repeat the words so I could understand, but not always.<br>Fair system nope.... no way.... not to me... The DA, and all my X's lawyers were given time to think and to answer, but I was always cut off, and I have no way to know how to relate from mid points or in reverse, which I believe is a tactic to make one look like he does not understand what one is talking about!<br>Simply starting at the beginning was considered stupid, so the judges would interrupt until I was no longer at the right place to make any sense what ever! Then they would back up and ask questions that would have been understood had I been allowed to present my story from the beginning.<br>At times I just want to die because of it. It seemed to me that every one was nuts, and I was becoming nuts myself with the quasi Latin. After I would leave I would go to a library to try to figure out what was what, and more often than not was booted out when it was discovered that i was quitely reading law...... The fact that I was copying law made the library folks tell me that it was not my office..... Oh well.... It seemed the court did not like papers that had become wet, and dried, but living in a tee pee is not the best place to store papers..... I did the best I could, and the court was invited to come see the tee pee any time by surprise visits, but NO that would not due..... That was refused out right, the idea being that it was better to allude to me as a liar for saying that I did live full time in the woods in a tee pee.....<br>You see then my X just wanted me in JAIL..... she even tried to get restraining orders to keep me from her house, her place of work, and my sons school. She was very upset after the court refused because I had done nothing to deserve this restraint..<br>By now I suspect you think I am a nitwit, but i am not a lawyer. I found very hollow victory with win by stalemate, just by attempting the truth as i viewed it.<br>3 lawyers 1 DA all felt the need to lie, and cheat to win, against a just barely educated man. I have only some college which was for history and art DUH! lawyer I am not.<br>I think it a travesty that the common man is not allowed to properly defend himself, and that until the law allows such that the system is jaded towards the common man. It is no wonder with such a system that many take the laws into their own hands!<br>Even though I walked away a freeman for a lamp post I felt dirty some how. I was out time and money, my dignity was damaged, and I felt dirty. There was no "We are sorry to have we made this error" The was ok I see we have wronged you, and we will do........ for you to help you feel clean...... I still feel dirty, butt I gloat that the DA is doing time for 512 counts made in to 2 counts for an unrelated to me situation that he alone created. But even that still leaves me feeling dirty. Perhaps I am too sensitive.<br>Ok I have gone on long enough I bet for that topic, and it may be more than I wanted on the Internet too.....<br>As for riding with cops on the beat I have..... i had friends that were cops. I said before they are still friends, but not cops any more.<br>I worked professionally on the cars they used, and drove those cars alone. I can see what you mean. My Cop friend Denny was accosted by a biker that had a bigger gun, and that changed the chief's idea about guns for the Dept. I was offered one of those guns right through the Dept purchase and still have that Remington ton Rand today.... My Cop friend David just about had it when he arrested a Catholic Priest for OUI, and when the Priest was refused a drink of water in a holding cell my fired David caught the Priest drinking from the toilet bowl! (holy water?) Gezzee!<br>Maybe because I was a kid in the 60's and was bitten by a police dog at a war rally, arrested for it and got away I am dirty....... i dunno, but I wish I felt that the common stood a chance with the system, and that I felt clean.......
