Well I got an update...

There were two tickets we were paying on. Supposedly the payment computer separated them, and when one got paid off they marked it as a zero balance...and failed to mention the remainder of the OTHER ticket. So we had one paid off but not the other one...and the computer never spit out a notice for it until it went to warrant.

The ticket was from two years ago and went to warrant right after we moved, so the notice never came in the mail (my mother in law supposedly got "something" from the court but threw it away without opening it )

All this because I was in a bad area and I didn't see a stop sign. They ran warrant checks on both of us, which is the right of the cops I suppose. They had us both out of the car and we were searched too, but we had nothing to hide.

On one hand Im glad we found out about this and can fix it but on the other I feel so bad for running that darn stop sign and getting pulled over to begin with (which I have to pay for that too)

Court is at 8 am tomorow, at least I can make it to work and not miss any time and still be able to attend. Hopefully my dad is right and they'll just let him go with time served since the fine isn't too bad. I hope so, Spook isn't eating and no ammount of coaxing is helping. She misses her dady more than I do
