Is swap like community service work? I would pay money before I sat in jail whether I owed it or not. Of course I would get a lawyer to argue it for me.
yeah swap is kinda like community service expet its over looked by the sheriffs and not like done on your own..basically if you see the guys pickin up trash on the side of the road, thats swap..with swap though you have to pay to do the program , i forget what it is but it might be like $10-20/day. sofor you to be in that program you have to pay but they giue you like $5 credit for doing the work, or something like that, its all fucked up. and like if you miss a couple days of swap then the basically fire you and your stuck..its a bunch of bullshit..and i could be wrong about the whole paying to do it buit i dont think i am, ive never done it and never looked it up so i coiuld be wrong
thats why i said id rather go and do a month in county or something, they also have the week release program..what that is you turnb yourself in on thursday or friday and then you spend the weekend in jail and then they let you out sunday nigiht and then friday you turnh yourself in again..the only thing shitty aboutt that is you have to go threw the full booking process and in the winter its like 6-7hours but in the summer it can be 12+hours to get booked in and get on deck...i might also be able to ask for house arrest instead of getting locked up..sowho knows theres a few possibilities
the only thing im kinda afriad of is if i show up with a lawyer and then tell her i got no money to pay for these fines, shes gonna ask how i can pay for the layer then? and the lawyer is just my friends dad so hge proilly wouldbt charge me but she wouldnt care..this is all bullshit though cause this is my last month of probation and now all this bullshit is goin on, like i said i hope that i can just pay off the one and her let me slide on the other..i would even offer to have her extend my probation to let me pay off the fine if thats what i have to do..like 6months more of it to pay olff the 1200$...i just sick of this hit and want to be over
EDIT: i just checked the swap thing and its 35$ to register and then $10/day to do swap..but what i just read is they will make you do that instead of jail sentences and normally you have to do 30days of swap instead of jail..so instead of paying 1200 or serve 30days in jail i think i just changd my mind and would rather do the swap..they work for 5hours i think..so id rather just do that..i thought i would have to work off all 1200 by doing swap but what i jhust read, i dont think i do. so yeah i would totally rather pay $335 and no jail then 1200$ or 30days flat in jail..i dunno though i just gotta talk to my layer and see what he says
