i fucking hate the people who run our justice system, but im sure most of you can agree with that anyway. i just cant understand why my license had anything to do with it since it didnt involve a car at all. plus the fact that i need it to drive to work and i work 3rd shift so ive been walking home from work super late at night. god theyre assholes
Many people told you to get a lawyer. No offense but you have no one here to blame but yourself. And you didn't get your probation extended because you got charged; where as with probation you probably would've had it dropped after your probation had been successfully served.

I do not feel sorry for you.

For the money and time it was worth.. a lawyer would've been in your benefit. No one has ever said "man.. I really wish I didn't get that lawyer. Sure he got me off that charge, but man.. what use was that?".

Lesson here; get a lawyer. You don't know enough about the law to represent yourself as is the case with many defendants. Whenever I'm in doubt, I consult my lawyer.
