Go look on the other Blog

Since the stuff for Sept concerns dogs and court stuff go look on the puppy blog.

Criminal Charges

Well as of now I have 1 more court date to show the fine paid. Then all charges will be dismissed. Why did I get stuck with a fine? Because my neighbors are liars and scum sucking buttheads. They lied at the arbitration so they won on 1 point. Because of that I have to pay a fine. Then I found out that the fine gets paid to them. So basically I am rewarding my neighbor for being a scum sucking liar.

As a side note. Going into court totally sucks. You cannot speak your mind. So much for freedom of speech in this county. If you have a lawyer you are just supposed to stand and keep your mouth shut. If your lawyer is late then you cannot say a thing just sit back down. When your lawyer shows up THEN you get called back.

Questions concerning the "discovery" were never answered or even addressed.

I think the "justice" system in Clark County Nevada is broken.

So in summation. I'm paying a fine for citations I never received. I had bench warrants out for me for court summons I never received. I paid a fine even though the DA was never able to produce copies of the citations. This is nothing but a scam operated by the courts. A complete and total waste of tax payer money.

Arbitration

Well the Arbitration is done. Got sworn in just like in a courtroom. "Do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?"

I could not beleive the outright lies coming out of the mouth of my neighbors. It makes you wonder how people are raised. They my raise champion horses and train champion riders but I would never recommend them to anyone. Knowing them for the liars and cheaters that they are.

I got the decision in the mail on Friday. Out of the 3 alleged attacks the judge found for the plantiff on only one attack. Of course that's the one the plantiff was lying about. He personally witnessed the attack. My ass. My dogs are afraid of men. They are also afraid of farm equipment. And to top it all off he could not even properly id the dog.

So look at the picture of the black dog with the curly tail. Does that look like a pitbull/lab mix?

So each party has to pay their own legal fees and some more fees for the Arbitrator.
and we have 30 days to file a "request for trial de novo"

So I guess I'll be looking up that term.. But I have to ask. Who made money with this. The courts (filing fees) The Arbitrator, and the plantiff's lawyer. What a complete and total waste.

Shots

Well the boys got the rabies shots today. Now I just need to call Animal Control and set up an appointment for them to come and give me a new "Fanciers Permit".

Arbitration is set for Tuesday. Guess I need to work on the legal stuff a little today.

Now What

Well, I now have all the dogs in town with me. That was fun getting lady into the truck. Brought them all in on the 21st. Now I only need to go home to check the water and trees.

Today I washed all the dogs for a 2nd time. Duke was the only one ok with it. Everybody else fought being drug into the shower. Once in they were ok. Nice clean sweet smelling dogs. What a change.

Well, the boys have been to the vet and met all the neighbors. Everyone thinks my boys are very sweet. Time to make a phone call and get the discovery started.

Caught

Well today once again the neighbors dog jumped the fence and got into. This time when I blew the whistle my dogs kenneled. I was able to put a choke chain around the trespasser and get him to the orchard area. Ilona came over and put him in the shed for me. Called Animal control and they came out and made sure my dogs were ok. Then put that bad boy in the truck and left.

I lost a couple of pictures of Todd's dogs in my yard. Including the one for today. I think I forgot to actually push the button on the camera. Guess that's what happens when you get a little upset. So now I have to fill out the paperwork and get that mailed in. Then request a copy of the complaint. Will need it for the court stuff in Jan/March.

I keep forgetting I also need to call the lawyer and get the discovery done.

Oh well. Gotta keep busy I guess.

Go Directly to Jail

I am 53 years old. And until Sept 6, 2009 I had never been arrested in my life.

When the Police pulled me over on Desert Inn road I was not worried. Not until the officer told me that a warrant had been issued for my arrest and put the handcuffs on me.

1st mistake - I left my wallet in the truck with my partner. Always take your wallet, otherwise how will you post bail?

When I got to the Clark County Detention Center it took hours to process through and I'm dressed in shorts and short sleeve shirt and that place is freezing.

So I get arrested at 8:30AM and have no clue what is going on until after 5PM I'm cold I'm in severe pain (I'm a disabled VET) my limp is getting worse by the minute.

Finally I'm put "in the Tank" with 12 other women. 1 of which is badly in need of a shower and smells like something dead for 3 days.

I met one women that I cuddled with in an attempt to get warm. Thanks for the warmth sister. So your sitting in the tank no way to get warm. Wooden benches all night long. No blanket no pillow AC blowing.

We had women that were brought in - in swim suits. Poor little girls.

The Food was even worse. If what they gave us was supposed to be some type of warm cereal then the county is being ripped off. It was basically colored water and the most horrid crap I have ever tasted. I was not hungry enough to eat it. I gave mine to the homeless lady. She thought it was fine. Sorry but I was not that hungry.

Oh they have these phones on the wall. You can make as many calls as you like. I don't think the women realize that the phone you are calling has to accept the call. In other words YOU ARE BEING BILLED for the call. $1.00 the 1st minute .25 each after that.

So Monday morning about 6:30 AM my mate figures out how toget me out on bail. It's posted at 07:30. ($640.00)I know nothing about it. Like I can really afford that. I've been out of work for almost a year.

So while the bail is being processed I'm in a group of women taken to the showers. That's ok.. Hot water feels good and I'm not body shy. Then jail uniform yippie long pants. Then we are taken up to a hmmm "cell block".

Really weird looking beds but I really don't care. Make up the bed crawl in and sleep until we get woke up for lunch. Sorry but I'm not gonna eat that stuff either. Hey, corn. Ok I'll eat the corn. Oh and get this watered down lemonade. But hey I'm drying of thirts here.

About 10:30 or 11:00 they call my name. Tell me to put all the stuff back in the bag I'm getting out. Hug my cell mate bye. So they take you to some other little room and make you put your own clothes back on. Then you sit in that freezing little room for several more hours. If they were going to lunch why did they not let me stay in the nice warm cell block?

I finally got out at 2:30PM and walked all the way to Stratisphere in the nice warm sunlight. Stopping finally at 7/11 for a brownie and Monster. Then catch the bus $3.00 for the last couple of blocks to Circus Circus. (My leg is giving out)

Now the really bad part of this.
1. Arrest was not necessary. All the cop needed to do was inform me I had missed a court date I knew nothing about. I would have been at the courthouse Tues Morning.
2. I'm basically afraid to wear shorts now. I carry a sweater with me at all times.
3. I am depressed beyound all reason.
4. I've got all the doors locked because for some reason I'm afraid the cops are going to come and get me again.
5. I never knew that a complaint had been filed against me. I never signed anything. I was never sent any kind of notice that I needed to go to court. I was never notified that a bench warrent had been issued against me. Their is something seriously wrong with the system.

Well it's 1:30PM and I think I'm going to go take a nap. Isnt that a sign of depression. Or maybe I'll just go have a good cry - maybe both.
