Justice is Expensive

A time ago, I was in a car accident, one where I was rear-ended due to me slowing down because of another car blocking my way. The whole event was decidedly my fault because the accident occured near a solid line, so I was charged with "intent of improper lane change"...the possibility that the car hitting me was driving too close, too fast, or not paying enough attention was never considered for some reason. Their side was strengthened by biases and a witness who was, interestingly enough, the car blocking me. In court, the judge clearly had no interest in any actual consideration of the situation, he seemed more interested in just getting it all done quickly so he could go home, and cracking what insulting jokes he got the chance to. He in fact misunderstand the other person's story at least once in his recaps and didn't seem phased by his misunderstanding of the setting.

As I took the stand, I learned that the police officer had apparently upped my charge from intent to actual "improper lane change," an event that simply did not occur, the collision happened before I could even make the lane change, and the intent was during the seperated lines, though I was denied that abiltiy due to the witness's car. As the judge talks, his speech is mumbled and rushed, and I'm late to react on the call to be sworn in by a couple seconds, he takes this opportunity to patronize me and point to my right hand and mutter "That's your right hand, son," because my delay is clearly due to me elementary school education, not due to his incoherent mumbling.

The officer tells the story, I tell my story, and I'm found guilty...now listen closely...in neither of the stories did I make the improper lane change, and yet I was found guilty of it. Given no proof or testimony of the crime, the judge was ready to find me guilty. The judge continues his "ololo, he's a stupid child" crap with his sentence "You are to take an improved driving course so that you can learn the right thing to do when driving"...never mentioning, in all his moral omnipotence, what the right thing to do in this situation was or hell, even what I did wrong. So now I'm paying the court 60$ and an additional 60$ for this 8 hour class. I noticed this was the judges default sentence to most of the cases...he didn't care, it got all his friends money and he's satisfied.

Now here's where the title comes into play. Witnessing the other cases take place, I realise that the presence of a lawyer results in the case being won or dismissed no matter how ridiculously blatant it was the person was guilty. A man was found holding a bag of weed in his car, and was said to have smelled of it and yet he was labeled "Not guilty" of possession of marijuana. So that's how it is, pay an attorney lots of money to get out of paying the court any. Justice is an expensive, rare resource, so quickly replaced by tactlessness, apathy, greed, and insolence. The people tasked to uphold fairness in our society hold no moral interests, rather, they're coated in a thick layer of jaded self-centered incoherence to just get through the day.
