It was closed lol rescheduled for the 31st. I think I'm going to go dressed up as a judge.

Precisely. He considered the doctor to be his father. He likely would have called himself Frankenstein as well.

Yeah,.even ignoring the joke comments that are funny, alot of people are saying I should fight. I doubt that would be a good idea. It was an honest mistake and I've got a clean record. I think being honest is my best bet.

I thought of that. I saw the viral video with that dude driving during his video court.

I was going to walk. It's a small town and I walk a lot as a hobby anyway.

Since I realized my license was expired I've been walking to work and to the store. Again it's a very small town and I can walk just about everywhere.

However if they are going to ask I might want some proof...no can't afford an Uber right now but maybe I could take some pictures of my walk? Or take the bus just to have a bus ticket?

Do I need a public defender? I didn't intentionally do anything wrong I just didn't know my license was expired? I've got a clean record it was just a mistake.

There's no way I can deal with the fime immediately. That's kind of information is exactly what I was asking about...

I live paycheck to paycheck. I don't get paid again until next week.

They really expect people to pay the unknown fine immediately?

Yeah, that's one thing I'm worried about. Powers out because of the hurricane. I've got black jeans and a polo shirt clean.

Glad I asked I had no idea. Do I need to make the hand motions when I get to "skeet skeet godamn"

I'm housing insecure. I've always worked hard but it's never been "my place" it's always a roommate or girlfriend and I move around A LOT. Plus one of the symptoms of my ADHD is "time blindness" it's hard for me to judge how much time has passed between two events. That's why I didn't think about my license might be expired. 1 year, 7 years, 12 years... It all feels the same to me.

Actually I'm not young. Im 35 but I drive like an old man so never even get tickets much less had to go to court for anything.

I'm assuming my chance of going to jail over this is low but I'm still worried about it. Ive never been to jail and that would cause me to miss work and I need my job.

I don't know if criminal court would be a better option because I can't think of something lesser than letting my license expire accidentally.

With this new solid advice, I had an idea and wanted to check with you.

When they call my name should I ignore it, as to not seem too desperate.

When they call my name again should I say "daaaaamn I heard you the first time! My license is expired not my hearing. Chill you're shit nigga" (to clarify I'm unambiguously white)

I haven't renewed my license yet. In my state I have to take the written test again so two appointments at the DMV

Im also in retail management so between COVID call outs, holiday roll outs, and a hurricane... I haven't had a day off in months.

How does that work In this situation tho? My license is expired and I was driving. How could I say not guilty? Wouldn't that just piss the judge off?

It's Florida. Titusville.

And the courthouse was closed when I went there today because of the hurricane. Guess they don't have power yet.

The clerks office is closed too, and the website hasn't been updated and still says my court date is today.

I even tried calling the non-emergancy police number and they don't know. They told me to call the clerk on Monday. Which will be fine unless my court date is rescheduled for Monday at 9am when they open.

That's something to consider. I just don't want to seem like I'm being difficult to the judge.

I have the first priesthood. they never say cocaine is a sin only that it's unwise. I never claimed to be wise.

Don't forget they did that several times!
