Ok so about 3 months ago I had to serve 3 days in county jail for disturbing the peace (dumb drunk incident more than a year back). By serving the time I had fulfilled my obligations to the court and therefore figured I was in the clear from there on out. I havent been in any trouble in the past year, I got a good girlfriend and I stopped drinking and also got a new job which now has me working 65 hours a week between my 2 jobs. Anyways tonight im driving my CSVT back into town with my girlfriend. So I see a cop pull behind me and start following me, I was talking [censored] about them to my girlfriend saying that i know theyre gonna pull me over for the front tint on my car, I wasnt worried cause i already have a tint fix it ticket.. Anyways they end up pulling me over and tell me my expiration is expired, I actually had registration just taped to the front windshield cause its a new car. Ok so they run my info and then come back and ask me to step out of the car, they then tell me to put my hands behind my back and that im under arrest for an outstanding warrant.
I tell them that i already served time for this and that its been taken care of, they tell me it can only be resolved by a judge and that i would stay in county jail untill my court date or i made bail. They also tow my car at this time.
Anyways I ended up having to sit in jail for about 5 hours in a holding cell while i got bailed out which ended up costing $200, then i go pick up my car from impound $250, gotta say it feel AWESOME to spend 5 bills for something I know for a fact i didnt even do.
So I was wondering if anyone had any advise about my court date? I know for a fact this was a mix up and is their fault and that at court they will verify that, only problem is im out 500 bucks and my friday night. Any chance you guys think i could seek some kind of monetary compensation for their mistake?? I dunno im still kinda weirded out about the whole thing, i think im gonna get some rest and worry about it tommorow, all i can say is thank god for my dad and my girlfriend, they are lifesavers.
