you will havea warrant and go to jail when caught. Its best to get something together, go to court, pay them what you have and tell the judge thats all you have now and can you please have a little more time

Ironic you ask. I just obtained warrants on a mother Sunday for refusing to allow her 15 year old son back in the house. She is required to provide for the child until his 18th birthday. Can't do it.

Heck yeah!! That's really all our academy was. We watched every season of cops and critiqued the officers response. Then we watched The Jeffersons and Different Strokes to learn about other minority relations and Jerry Springer to learn how to deal with domestics and custody disputes. We watched Monk to learn how to deal with people with mental illness and House to learn how to deal with brilliant but cranky medical professionals with...
