I have a bench warrant out for my arrest. Quick - someone hide me!

[JimmyJazz]

I failed to show up for jury duty in a state I haven't lived in for more than 6 years! I am an outlaw :7

[steve2470]

1. dost thou jest ? nt

[JimmyJazz]

3. Nope - I'm serious.

They use voter registration and driver's licenses. I have never voted in that state and my license expired in 1999 in that state.

[steve2470]

9. first, call your lawyer

second, come to orlando

over and out.

:silly:

[progmom]

2. Wow.

Here. Hide in this shed.

[JimmyJazz]

5. Will you bring me food and water while I'm on the lam.

[progmom]

12. Yes - I will bring you fancy food every night.

And a cozy blanket.

[JohnKleeb]

14. thats kind, I could use a cozy blanket right now myself

Virginia Winters suck.

[ashmanonar]

37. you think virginia winters suck?

O.o



we have to use SLED DOGS to get around!

:7

[JohnKleeb]

39. Well I walk to and from school so yeah

[GiovanniC]

46. Yeah, But Is It Uphill Both Ways?

Why don't you come to Michigan, where the snow is deep and the schools are uphill (and so is your home afterwards).

[ashmanonar]

52. i walk to and from school...

all the way across campus. EVERY DAY.

[datasuspect]

4. come over here to la casa del whackos

no inspectors, informers, snitches over here.

we don't take kindly to the law.

[JohnKleeb]

6. uh oh

You can use my attic.

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Can't help ya.

I'm the one who turned you in.



J/K

:evilgrin:

[arcane1]

8. yeah right, and have the cops banging on my door looking for you?

again? :P

[kick-ass-bob]

10. what state?

picking up phone to dial....

:evilgrin:

[JimmyJazz]

13. Delaware!!! Should I call Joe? Or do you think he's a bit busy

getting run out of town? :silly:

[Discord]

32. he might be a bit pre-occupied atm. nt

:)

[Discord]

11. D'OH!

might want to get that cleared up. lol

[JimmyJazz]

16. I know I should, but it's their mistake and we all know what that means!

I'll be jumping through these for the next six months in order to fix this:

[merh]

23. You do want to get it cleared up - a letter to the court clerk and the

judge should suffice. YOu will have to provide proof of your residency in your present state (geographical, not mind). Go on line and find an affidavit form that you can complete saying who you are and your residence. Attach a copy of your current driver's license and the lease you have for your residence or deed for your home, anything that proves where you live. Attach a copy of your voter's card.

If the arrest stays on your record, you could get stopped for a traffic ticket in your current state and be held because of the outstanding warrant! :shrug:

I'd call the clerk and clear it up now! :silly:

[JimmyJazz]

35. Thank you for your advice. It is well taken.

Fortunately for me, Delaware is a small state (I still work there) and I have worked in the legal field for 20 years. It's not really a matter of ending up in jail or anything, it's just really more of an annoyance. In fact, since I had the docket judge for evidence class in college, I don't think he'd be too quick to throw me into the slammer! :o

[merh]

40. I don't know, he might!

How well did you behave in his class? Were you as flippant then as you are now? :silly: You know what they say, pay backs can be hell!

[JimmyJazz]

45. No - I was a total mouse in school! I was very shy.

And, FTR - I'm not flippant! Meanypants. :P

[merh]

48. You have worked for/with attorneys for 20 years - don't tell me

you are not flippant! I too was once quiet and shy, then I was sucked into the reality of the legal profession and my toungue is so sharp, I cut my lips if I lick them when dry! ;-)

I believe they call it conditioining or is it self defense?!

[merh]

49. Just in case you need it!

[Discord]

29. I believe all you need to do is contact the court

and fax them copies of your new licence, voter registration from your new state, and probably something for identification purposes.

[JimmyJazz]

38. Probably, but the court told my dad (who called because he thought

they might be coming to get me) that I had to clear it through DMV and voter registration first. Thanks for the advice. I'll get it taken care of eventually.

[Discord]

41. best of luck. it can be a real PITA

favorite words when dealing with companies or gov't agencies is...

"I'd like to speak with a supervisor please."

Always seem to get better results.

[datasuspect]

15. let someone know your inmate id number

so we can post $$ to your commissary.

cigs, fruit cups, and suchlike are as good as money in the hoosegow.

[JimmyJazz]

21. But will you call me up and sing my theme song?

[datasuspect]

30. call collect

but don't pass my number around to your fellow inmates

[amber dog democrat]

17. Who gave you permission to leave your assigned state ?

Citizen JJ, I strongly suggest you turn yourself in and throw yourself on the mercy of the court -
Maybe you can get off with being sent to Wichita Falls, Texas for 3 years !

No excuses !

BANG! BANG !

Next case !

[WI_DEM]

18. Ok, let them know asap

that you moved. Heck you must have been just a kid when you moved.

[JimmyJazz]

20. I tried to tell them, but they said I had to go to hell...

I mean DMV to clear the matter. While I am capable of doing that, I refuse because what if I had moved to Wyoming instead of Pennsylvania? Would I still be expected to make an appearance?

[LynneSin]

19. Is there any rewards money out there for turning you in?

I mean, I know where you're going to be Thursday night and you'll be in that state where you are an outlaw

:evilgrin:

[JimmyJazz]

24. AW Shit - you work right across the street from the police station!

I'm toast.

[LynneSin]

26. That's it - either buy me some Fatty Tuna or you're toast

:D

[steve2470]

22. seriously though, you really NEED to call your lawyer nt

[JimmyJazz]

27. You mean I should just yell down the hall to someone and ask

for their help???

[steve2470]

31. yeah seriously, you should nt

[CanuckAmok]

I said "she ain't here, but she sure went past"

Oh, they're lookin' for Jimmy Jazz Jazz Jazz Jazz...

[JimmyJazz]

28. And now we all know why I changed my name!

I...can't....breathe...I'm laughing so hard... Good One, CA :toast:

[newscott]

25. A guy I work with

once received a summons to pay fines in TX. The fines were for various traffic violations amounting to several hundred dollars. He had an option to call a judge at an appointed time to explain that he's never even been to Texas. Case closed.

[amber dog democrat]

33. A very likely storey

Texans don't make mistakes. He'd better pay up.

[newscott]

34. I know this guy.

He drives a Volvo and lives in NH. He'd never have a reason to go to TX. ;-)

[Discord]

36. I got my license suspended in MA

for a no seatbelt ticket in N Carolina 3 years earlier. Had to pay the fine. Which started as $50 and was at $250 after additional costs were added on. Then another $50 to remove the "suspension" tag. Then another $50 to re-instate the licence.

[JimmyJazz]

42. Between the fines and the red tape, it's enough to make you nutso!

[Discord]

43. yeah, really is more trouble than common sense

would make it appear that it SHOULD take.

[ralps]

44. I hope this gets resolved soon JimmyJazz,

I would hide you but you would have to travel to Wisc.:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[JimmyJazz]

47. You are too kind as always, sweetie!

I'll get it resolved after much ado - thanks. :hi: :loveya: back

[edbermac]

50. Head for Canada, quick!

We'll all probably wind up North pretty soon; you can scout out the place for us...

[SOteric]

51. Ut oh...

Where's my recipe for "Cake with file in it?"

[JimmyJazz]

54. Question: Do you have a smilie for every occassion? Ha ha!

How about Yom Kippur - do you have that covered, too? :silly:

[SOteric]

55. The Yom Kippur Smilie:

[JimmyJazz]

56. I admire your rapier like wit, madam!

[steve2470]

57. you mean they haven't arrested your ass yet ?

damn

JOKING


:silly:

[steve2470]

58. Kindler gentler question

Are you ok now ? :hugs: Keep me posted, please.

[Historic NY]

53. I won't tell anyone.......here in NY I've gotten several

notices where you have to give them the info so they can put you on jury duty. They usually go with the junk mail in the circular file. I'm and easy find if they really want me....used to be exempt. I would go for local court but they don't want me. I know most of the clients. It was always a hoot doing cases there they would give me the jury list to see who I knew or who knew me before hand. I've had a couple co-workers sucked in and ended up on long civil cases. On my job unless you work days you get screwed because on the other 2 shifts you still have to show up for work. They called my 90 yr old uncle for jury duty and he was sending it in until I reminded him they will not pick him up every day.

I'm waiting for the Sheriff to come get me some day....not.

[Radical Activist]

59. I hate it when that happens

Let me know if you decide to go underground. I can help. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

60. CRIMINAL!!!!!!!

If you make it to Texas on your way to Mexico, I'll hide you out and arrange safe transport the border.

[JimmyJazz]

62. ooooh - Mexico! I hadn't thought of that!

And yes...I'm still here :o

[xmas74]

61. You can hide at my house.

I work for the police-they'd never look for you here.
