I was recently in court. And no it was not for me. Anyway…as I had to wait, like everyone else for the case to be heard…a gentleman was called up before the judge as it was his turn for his issue to be heard. The issues, ok charges against him were - driving a motor vehicle without a license, and driving a motor vehicle without any insurance. Uhmm…I have a question… where did he get the car?? Why was he driving?? Well…got more info as I listened…he does not speak the English language so good. Hmmm…I won’t come out and say, illegal alien…but I will say again… How did he get a car?? How did he get insurance??
Let’s forget for a moment that someone loaned him the car. Let’s imagine he actually went out and bought a car. Don’t you need a license, so they have it on file?? Don’t they need proof of insurance?? To my knowledge you cannot purchase a car without those two very important items. So, whose car was it then?? And why were they not charged or something?? I know…I don’t know the law, don’t know the ins and outs of everything, but isn’t the person who owns the car, semi responsible for loaning a car to someone who doesn’t have a license, nor insurance?? I would think so…but what do I know?? Right…
Well…then we move on to the next person…he doesn’t speak ANY English…at all. In fact, the guy who went before him, got to stay longer and play interpreter. It sounded Guatemalan to me…but I am not a Zen with all the different languages in the world. So…now we have someone, who doesn’t speak English…and he is charged with Driving a car carelessly, as he caused an accident, driving without a license, and driving without proof of insurance. Uh…where did he get his car from?? And why was he even driving it?? WTF???????????? Well, come to find out thru the interpreter, that he was driving to work.
Oh…ok…so you work…and you drive a car, illegally, and without insurance, and cause an accident. Hmmm…again I ask…where is the person who loaned him the car?? He should also be semi responsible. I mean if you KNOW the guy or gal, has NO license, or insurance, what the hell are you giving him your car for?? That’s just ridiculous…but hey…guess that’s just how it is sometimes!!!
Another person, was charged with being in violation of some codes as he was a vendor, hired by someone else, and participated in some kind of Day at the Park function. I couldn’t hear all of it, as one woman was just not speaking loud enough for me to hear. But anyway, the company who hired him, waited WAY too long to get his credentials and info submitted to the township. So, they didn’t have a file for him. He showed up to the event (he was a Hot Dog Vendor) and was setting up, when he was sort of busted…he was inspected and told he could stay, but still issued a summons for violating process and procedure. I couldn’t quite get the whole charge…but it carries with it a maximum fine of $2000 and up to 60 days in jail. WOW…that’s harsh, or at least seems so to me.
No the judge did have a little sympathy, and hit him with a fine for $500, but she felt bad, and put the case on hold, for the guy to contact the hiring firm, and see if they could pay for it. She felt it was more their fault than the poor vendor’s. Well…after about 30-45 minutes…it turned out, that the hiring firm was new, and only been around for 2 months…so they could not afford it. What about half?? I think that would have been fair. But no!!! You heartless bastards!!! So…what does the judge say…tells the inspectors, who know people, to get the word out about what happened to this vendor, to help him get work, and let others know what kind of company the hiring firm was that screwed him over with the fine!!! HA HA HA…I like that!!!!
So…those were the highlights of my day in court. So…That’s all I got for now…Till next time!!!
