With that, I believe you had the right to file a lawsuit. The Police aren't allowed to arrest you while under certain medical conditions and even then, if THEY were the cause of your sickness you could still do it. Not certain though, but dear god I feel sorry for you. The only way it could get worse is if the police didn't let you have a toilet in the prison.Tentickles said:My senior year of high school I was on medical leave for 6 months and the school misfiled my paper work so the cops came to my door, arrested me (still fatally sick mind you) took me to jail for a night. The school contacted them and told them what happened but I STILL had to go to court for truancy.
I actually dropped out of high school after they arrested me (got diploma anyway, had enough points or something) and STILL had to goto the court date even though I wasnt in school anymore. It cost my family like 1700$ for that stupid fucking mistake plus another hospital visit because the jail was so fucking cold I got an infection.
Which is why to this day I fucking hate the American school system and wish I could avoid it at all costs.
Edit: I went to one of the top 10 high schools in the US. You'd think they would treat their students better.
Your avatar seems like what you did immediately after remembering that.Les Awesome said:For "Very Rudely" Looking at my Watch
No 11 year old should ever be punished for being a smartass.Ordinaryundone said:To be fair, if I was a teacher and some 11 year old gave me that answer I'd think they were being a smart-ass as well. Being overly literal is a commonly accepted form of being a smart-ass, btw. Though I certainly wouldn't put the kid in detention for it.
Honestly, for me it seems any time I get in trouble with an authority figure its for a stupid reason, but I think the only legitimately stupid time I go in trouble was for parking in a handicapped spot...with a handicapped person in the car. I didn't have a tag for it, but the cop actually saw us both get out of the car, watched me unfold his wheelchair, and then had the gall to come up and give me a ticket. Did I break the law? Yes, by the absolute literal definition of the word, but I feel a certain ability to interpret things based on the situation is important for a police officer. My friend and I were quite pissed, you can imagine. Fought it in court, got the fine reduced (but not removed), and overall it was just an extremely frustrating experience.
