Sorry... I had a few other things on my mind.

Which would first require you be charged. He has not been.

And 'we' would not be charged by now in Dallas either - again; much bigger things to worry about down there. They'll get to it when they get to it.

If anything the notoriety of Rice will speed the charging/booking process up. If he gets charged, he'll get booked. Maybe there's bail, maybe there's not (again, ties to the community carry a lot of weight - same as it would for you). he'll have a mugshot taken.

Maybe - MAYBE - he won't have to sit in jail for a couple hours. But y'know what, that's the case for a bunch of average citizens as well. If you think the Sheriff is out there kicking down doors over stuff like this, I don't know what to tell you. They aren't. A lot of the time they WILL just try to call you if they know where to find you. And they'll ask you to come in. And then you can hire an attorney and they'll go with you to do the paperwork while you're getting booked. Then you go home.

Methinks you watch WAY too many procedurals on NBC...

So you are one of those, " it's somebody else's fault guys..."

Wow... your jump to conclusions mat is in the mail, bud.

I just told you the events surrounding the reason I "forgot" to pay the traffic ticket.

I am rather enjoying watching you attempting to drag this conversation away from my original statement about had it been some regular person and instead making it about me on a personal level.

Cole does a good job here I think:

When I was in high school, we got a big break on car insurance if we took a driver's ed course. Our high school offered such a course.

The problem is that the course was "taught" by our big moronic dimwit football coach whose IQ was an offensive line jersey number. He made the grades subjective so he could give A grades to his football players and the cheerleaders, along with the girls' track team that he coached. No one else ever got an A.

If you were a good student, you could get around this by taking driver's ed as a non-credit course in the summer. But taking it as a non-credit course cost money, whereas if you took it during the school year it was free. So if your family didn't have money, you had to take the course during the school year.

In essence, then, the valedictorian of our school for many years could only be one of those sports team members or a kid whose family had enough money to pay for the summer course. No one else could get the top grade because of the dimwit coach.

And this, my friends, is why I was the salutatorian of my class.

Maybe if your dad wasn't such a cheapskate, he would have sprung for the summer course and you could have been valedictorian.

Or you can just keep blaming the coach.

. You equated having a warrant out for your arrest for not paying a ticket to Rice not being arrested right now. If they charge him he will be arrested and booked l, but you are too stupid to realize the obvious.

Person A gets a ticket...


Asks Person B to take care of it...


Person B doesn't take care of it...


Person A doesn't take care of it...


Person A gets pulled over and sent to Jail...

They exist. And money helps.

That said - a TON of it is white noise; it's static. There are absolutely inconsistent outcomes and some of them are driven by money, fame and/or race. But the overwhelming number of them are driven by individual actors. A single prosecutor somewhere who has a burr in his ass about some particular issue. Or a judge that didn't get laid on his birthday.

The 'system' is still just a collection of individual actors. All of whom have their own proclivities and their own foibles. They have good days and bad. Some of them flat out suck at their jobs.

But this idea that there's dual tracks and Rice, by virtue of his fame and/or wealth, will get the 'high road' track that none of us would ever see isn't really supportable. In some cases, in fact, fame is a hindrance. Many celebrities have gotten nailed to the wall over shit that rank and file folks skate on (Martha Stewart going to prison still cracks me up a bit; and I think one of those college fraud actresses got hammered pretty good as well if my memory serves).

There's not an obvious Venn Diagram when it comes to inconsistent outcomes.

There are Martha Stewart-sized outliers, but no. The wealthiest among us will be able to afford top tier representation that can devote all their time and resources to helping them evade responsibility for their actions.

Everybody else will have to settle for whatever their month-to-month finances allow, and the least wealthy of us have to rely on public defenders. And these people simply do not have the financial, temporal, or manpower resources that we'd otherwise get in an ideal world. For the wealthiest among us, they are living in that ideal world.

Like you said, the dual track system exists, but it's not just a marginal difference.

This thread is out of control, is this ****er going to jail or not?

Figures that Dog Boy has no clue about the probable cause requirement for an arrest.

Driving on a suspended license with an active warrant… easy probable cause to confirm.

Determining if there is enough evidence to arrest Rashee for driving the vehicle… this has yet to be confirmed and requires an additional investigation.

Rice off the hook yet?

Everyone should let this one go with this statement. If you've never been deployed, you'll never understand.

We can disagree about a lot of things, but someone that tries to get the situation taken care of, but fails to check up on it while being deployed gets a total pass from me.

Thanks for your service Janx.
