My stepdad got arrested today-- yes, the same guy that irritates me and hurts me, but I somehow apparently care about. But anyways.. he was arrested. They closed off a lot of the town where I live for this damn three day festival they have. So.. people were using 4 wheelers to get around, since cars couldn't. No one had any tags or anything, because.. THEY'RE 4 WHEELERS! And this is hunting country, they usually stay offroad. But they pulled my stepdad over, and not anyone else running around and told him he needed tags. Even when the goddamn cops were using tagless ones, unmarked as well. Funny, I didn't think they were above the law. My mistake.
Anyways, so he said sure, no problem, let me take it home and put it away then. Well this dumbshit rookie cop decides to call in JC's license, when the damn local sheriff apparently didn't mind anyone riding around because he saw it all and didn't say anything. But anyways, this "check".. it pulled up an arrest warrant for him. That he had gone to court for TWICE already.. and was supposed to have been taken off the books TWICE.
And now he's in jail. Just had surgery, is too damn sick to walk around town, hence the 4 wheeler, and has more surgery appointments scheduled. All because the ******** idiotic state of Indiana can't process a ******** form correctly. Hell, the original case waaaay back in the day was thrown out because the courts decided 1. since he didn't have enough money, and was disabled..2. since his wife broke the custody agreement, and 3. since the kids were too old.. that he didn't have to pay child support. But nooo.. The state misfiled his case, he got sent to Indiana and held for 45 days while my dad and I were laid up from surgery, and now they did it again. I mean really.. I'd love to find the jackass responsible for this s**t and ask what the hell happened? Did he mistake the shredder for the copier?!
Sorry, I'm just a little pissed. Especially since now I have to take care of the kids while mom and dad are at work because he is locked up. So, whoosh, there goes my schedule until this is fixed. At least in the county jail here they are treating him like a person instead of refusing him a damn hair tie, shower, or religious reading material because Wicca is, quoting the b***h in Indiana, "not a real religion," despite the Supreme Court's ruling that it is. And no, I'm not saying that it's wrong to believe in one thing and one thing only. That's great! I'm glad someone has that conviction! But when it gets to the point that a person's rights are denied by a non-believer, well.. that's against the law. And as screwed up as some laws are, freedom of religion excluded in the screwed up category, they are still enforceable. <-- I wonder if that's even a word. Anyways, I'm tired and going to bed. Leave a comment if you want, it won't really change the situation.. though if nice, it might make me feel better.
