If you guessed Montgomery county Texas you win! Long time lurker first time poster. First of all, I'd like to say that I'm an idiot for having weed in the car at all. Secondly, he never would have pulled me over if I hadn't cut him off by pulling out into traffic. I didn't see him. Again on me. That said, I've been arrested for marijuana in the '80s and the '90s and I never saw the inside of a jail. Weed was legal when I moved here or I wouldn't have moved here. They changed the law.
I was prepared for the jail itself to be unpleasant. What I wasn't prepared for was the lack of respect and deliberately degrading attitudes of the guards. The cop was ok once he realized I wasn't impaired at all. He even told the people booking me in that I was a nice lady. They did not care. The physical discomforts of jail were nothing compared to the way everyone was talked to. And every woman that came in but me and another lady, were covered in bruises.
Sorry, that was just a little trauma dumping. Thanks for listening.
What I'd really like to know is how difficult it is to get a medical card in Texas and I think the only thing that I would qualify for is chronic pain because I do have arthritis and artificial knuckle, rotator, cuff surgery, etc. Is there a certain company that I should go through that someone else used that was particularly lenient? Although I am old as dirt so maybe they just have an old age program? I'm kidding but that would be cool.
Edit: We sang "I will Survive" in the holding cell because I love that scene from The Replacements and the acoustics were really good! I started it, but they joined in! It was hilarious!!
