Teen Girl Gets 30 Days in Jail for Flipping Off Miami-Dade Judge

^ I understand what you are saying, but I also think that to say "adios" in English has a specific meaning other than just "goodbye" - it can express a snotty attitude (or a cavalier attitude).

Still, if people are not allowed to express a snotty attitude to a judge, something is very wrong, imo.
(Not that I would do it! For self-preservation reasons. But I feel that we should have the right to do so.)
 
I thought for sure she was going to get to OR on every charge when the judge asked her how much her jewels were worth and she said, "Uh, Rick Ross". I mean c'mon, let her OR for that shit. %)

But I must say, I had a bad experience with my ex's attorney in family court. I flipped him the bird when we got outside, I was young and cocky. He got my DNA test denied in court and I was rightfully pissed. The fat ass (who tried to have me arrested for being at his house years before that, along with my ex that he was representing) ran me down and got up in my face. I was so wanting to knock him out, but I knew that's what he wanted. I just smiled and when he said, "Do you have a fucking problem?", I replied, "Yeah, it's you" and walked away. I'm surprised he didn't tell the judge, but he didn't. He soon dropped my ex because she didn't give him a dime for his services.
 
n you do?

i lived in florida for over a decade

lots of cubans have a very white appearance, how many cubans in portland oregon do you know?

also did you hear him talk he is obviously hispanic, he lives in fuckin miami n i assumed cuban because of the light skin not to mention the fact that of all latino groups in the US cubans tend to have the highest positions of authroity/highest earning jobs (thats fact from a latinos in america culture class btw im not just spouting shit) due to the fact that they have a legal avenue towards citizenship so long as they make it here, i guess the same is true for PRs but that cant be said for mexicans n centrral n south americans

were you gonna say he is white cuz of his appearance?

This is not at all a new thing, or a recent development. And much of the abuse is deserved.
 
damn when she said "like rick ross" I lost all faith in my generation
 
All laughter aside...

- I appreciate that (it appears) her appeal was heard and she's been transferred to rehab instead of jail for using as I don't believe users belong in jail (with the possible exception of repeatedly violent, psychotic cases where the user IS an imminent danger to others).
- That being said, how the judge determined she's an addict is questionable. Was she caught for the fist time, in possession of a few Xanax bars? Or is she a repeat "offender" with a history of poly-drug use and possession? Furthermore, is the judge also a practicing/registered doctor of medicine? My point being - I think the terms 'addict, addiction,' and 'addictive' are thrown around far too frequently; and slapped like a cheap label on anything or anyone who is associated with the usage of medically unsubstantiated controlled substances, regardless of whether the drug in question is officially used as a medication or not. Also - far too many times is the line between physical dependency and addiction blurred by doctors, politicians, law enforcement, and your typical idiot next door.

Seems irrelevant to me.

Turning up to your court hearing under the influence seems to show she was somewhat addicted to the substance, unless she was legitimately using it via a prescription for whatever reason (mostly anxiety isn't it?). She admitted that she was under the influence of xanax as you probably heard, she had 2 I think she said. And yeah it's good that the outcome turned out like that for her and her family after she had a cry and regretted her actions to the judge and wasn't acting like an idiot in a court of law.

Even if turning up under the influence is not an addiction, she was caught with the substance I believe and the judge was doing what his job was to do, yeah I agree with the part non-violent users being sent to jail, but that's hardly a reality in alot of places now is it.

at times yes, n as drug users who brake illconcieved laws its easy to take that frustration n disdain out on the officers, but they dont right the laws, they are human being too just tryin to do their job n take care of themselves like the rest of us (dont get me wrong i cant stand most cops n lots of em are tools that get off on that power trip) but cops do some good some of the time, its not all about drugs n speed traps n bullshit.

i dunno dont take what im sayin the wrong way, i cant stand most cops n dont have good luck with most of them most of the time, but i do recognize they preform a needed function in our society, things arent perfect n never will be but were all just tryin to live life

eh rereading your post i guess i shouldnt even have qouted it you said much of it is deserved not it is deserved so ya woops, but i aint deleting this cuz whatever

yea but atleast he gave her treatment instead of county,

so does anyone think he gave her the second chance cuz this video went viral? i mean im sure others who saw it (not on a drug website) also thought he was a bit out of line, sure the way she said 'adios' was disrespectful but fuck the way he said 'bye bye' had plenty of attitude behind it
 
^ Maybe, and yeah it was probably a bit of a power play by the judge, who's probably used to everyone being mostly courteous and trying to get the best outcome for themselves.

This is an excellent set of points, and I can't believe everyone is disagreeing with you.

Drug Court does save a lot of people from doing jail time, but it doesn't make the distinction between an addict and a recreational user. They put it in place because the jails were overcrowded, but what they needed to have done is abolish the drug laws. At some point, we're going to have to revolt against forced treatment, otherwise the prison-industrial complex will become the treatment-industrial complex.
 
Yeah we don't know all the facts and some of those are good points for sure. The fact she wasn't very cool about the whole thing and was under the influence inside the court room and it was noticeable is never going to help tho, it pays to be courteous in those kind of circumstances and show some charm and charisma (if possible), but I guess we have all done dumb shit and some of us learn from our mistakes, some people don't seem to tho.

She was lucky she got a chance to apologise, some people in the past wouldn't have I imagine. Some judges are dicks, just like cops, but they are also just people, some are cool, some are assholes, some of both are just having bad days etc etc..

In any case I guess we will never know all the facts about it all.
