Lawyers often tell clients to take a toothbrush and I think they are serious.

Poor people get thrown in jail for driving under suspension. I wouldn't count on being able to talk your way out of it.

Well, I got a call from a friend of Jane's last night and he's looking into the situation for me and he doesn't think they would sent me to jail for it, and says what I thought, that the extortion tactics are highly illegal.  They do that because they can get away with it when people don't know any better, but I'm not a welfare Mom who can barely read, and that's their mistake.

No, you don't have kids yet, so you are just a dumb blond that doesn't understand the legal system.

If you willfully refuse to pay the fine, they can throw you in jail, and they deduct a certain amount from the fine for each day served in jail untill it is paid off. I thought it was $20 a day. I think this only happens to protesters that refuse to pay. I was suprised russell didn't go that route.

One of the protesters, Morse, 82, spent 18 days in jail after she refused to pay her $360 fine in the case. DeVries slapped each of the defendants with the fine, with another $900 suspended, on the proviso none of them engage in similar behavior for the next two years. Morse says it?s all been worth it. "I just feel like we need to let people know their civil rights are being eroded," she said.

So good to know my intelligence can be determined soley on my knowledge of the law.  And they have already stated that it's $50 a day.

Your knowledge of the law wasn't the only factor I used to determine your intelligence. I also took hair color and inability to quote correctly into consideration 

Hey, I'm dumb too, welcome to the club.

Did they tell you it would be $50 a day? I thought you said 10-12 days in jail.

Yes, it is $50 a day now....they changed the law in 2003:
http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/LX/618/618-8.htm

    618:8 At End of Term, or on Payment of Balance. ? Any person sentenced conditionally to pay a fine or to be imprisoned for a term shall be discharged at the expiration of the term, and may be discharged at any time on payment of the balance of the fine, after deducting $50 for each day such person has been imprisoned under the sentence.

I like going to court too.  I've found that it helps to do research first and bring notes with you to court.  You win some, and you lose some.  Unfortunately many judges seem to be more interested in convicting nonconformists than in pursuing justice.  It often doesn't matter if you haven't harmed anyone and only committed victimless crimes.  I was convicted of driving (to school so that I can someday get a decent paying job) while being too broke to afford a state inspection sticker.

I would urge anyone who wishes to change the current state of affairs to seriously consider a run for the state legislature.  See my thread in the NH politics section for more information.

If you're not happy about the loss of your freedoms and the growth of the state, you must step up and act. 

I'm not ready to be an elected official just yet.  I do however, lend my time and support to those who are running.

Just found this thread; since I don't do much whining i never look at this category LOL

Inter is there anything we can do to help?  I'd like to think that whenever a freedom lover inside NH, particularly one who is mixed up with *us*, comes under attack from the gov we do something ! 

but i'm not having any bright ideas and I don't want to do more harm than good.

^_^  Well thanks for the offer!  At the moment, the issue has been resolved.  Not to my perfect delight, but to the limit of my ability.
