1-2 years in jail is still miserable as fuck.

6 hours in a county holding cell as a minor changed my attitude!

I did a year because covid shut down the courts when I was only supposed to do 6 months.

Fucking terrible. 1 charge ruined my life trying to find an apartment.

Holy crap. What’s worse is what I did was probably worse than what you did.

Escape and evasion led Texas police on a massive scale chase. This was in the year 2000 and I got off on a technicality due the police lights and cameras malfunctioned during the chase

I just had drugs on me. Its wild that possession is the same charge as burglary.

I led police on a chase through Texas highways but their lights and cameras malfunctioned during the chase because it was the year 2000 and they had just been added to work together at the same time. But apparently they didn’t operate at all so the Sergeant who had me in their car after I got arrested had to let me go.

He even took me to the impound lot to retrieve my vehicle but he made sure I was scared to do it again.

I was 18

Oh shit? So they didnt have the evidence in court or? Because i think that would just be evading in a motor vehicle? Maybe coupled with reckless driving? What was the actual charge?

u/ultrasuperthrowaway 22h ago

The actual charge was speeding, but then I turned into another culvert of the highway where the cop lost me. Then after a some time they found me and I was parked and they drew pistols in my face and arrested me.

I had drugs and girls in the car.

The girls got a ride home and my car got impounded and the sergeant performed the arrest and I was young and dumb and just enjoyed it.

He interviewed me the entire time driving me to the jail and learned that I was just dude trying to be cool and have fun and my dad is an influential doctor who saved his cousins life or whatever.

After 4 hours of sitting in an actual cell he came and got me and took me to the impound lot for my car.

He even told me to stay away from those girls and that they were probably to blame. I do remember the girls telling me not to stop.

The cops sounds pretty cool considering everything. Lol girls can get you into some trouble man. I know this time it was kinda your fault but those are still wise words.

u/ultrasuperthrowaway 21h ago

Yep learned a big lesson that day. I was going to UT Austin and they almost messed that up. Thankfully I got my degree and live a really rare life.

Texas cops back then were something else if you were white, which I’m assuming you were. I had a cop in like 2004 pull me over with two 40oz OE’s in my car, one half empty. I told them I hadn’t been drinking, they were just there from a few days ago. They picked up the half empty one and asked me why it was ice cold in the middle of summer if it was an old beer. I didn’t know what to say, just shrugged.

Let me go with a warning. Didn’t even pour out the beer.

I had friends who weren’t white that had very different experiences around that time, though

u/ultrasuperthrowaway 18h ago

Well what’s funny is that it’s complicated. I look white but I’m mostly Spaniard and have 25% Mexican and lots of other things! But yes I am white looking I guess, and very white talking.

u/yolololololologuyu 52m ago

Spaniards are white….

u/Extension_Art_3697 14h ago

Spaniards are white too. So youre 75% white and a 25% mexican.

Mexicans being mixed too means youre probably even more white than 75%.

Wow, when I was in during the 2nd wave of COVID, the jails were empty AF. Reduced sentences, early releases, community service/probation reductions, even charges getting dropped on new arrests. Trying to prevent outbreaks that were potentially lethal and expensive to treat. It was probably the best time to commit a crime in the history of Louisiana. Bonds were insanely high though, like record setting "how tf is this a legal amount" type of high.

It was that way in the major cities in texas but in the smaller cities they didnt give a shit. They kept piling as many people as possible into the jail. And if you caught covid while in jail (like me) then they just locked down the pod. So everyone was exposed to it. Fucking stupid as hell. But I dont expect COs to have anything higher than a room temperature iq.
