Kentucky has made it impossible for me to pay my fine. I owed a $100.00 fine from years ago (no excuse, I should of paid it), I had forgotten all about it.
I was with a friend who got pulled over, my name was run and I was under arrest. I had no money (totally and couldn't get any) so I asked if I could set my fine out in jail. The judge ok'd it and off to jail I went.
I sat there for ten days. I was given $10.00 a day credit. I was being processed out of booking and doing the paperwork. I was told that I owed the jail $245.00. They was charging me $20.00 a day to set there plus a $45.00 booking fee.
They was nice enough to give me some time to pay it. If I don't pay it, they will take me to court and get even more money (or try to).
A hundred bucks isn't much but when you haven't worked for 7 months, it is a lot. I got hurt and had to file for disability. The money is not the issue but what they did is....What are your thoughts on this?
