It seems like there are enough of these people that a unscrupulous lawyer could really fill the niche and make a lot of money. "Yes, just sign over power of attorney to me and I can represent your strawman to sever that from your court appearance."
thats a quick way to get disbarred
If you have no ethics, and enough money, getting disbarred is kinda like retirement, right?
Then it’s time to campaign for judge - separate that pesky straw man “bat” stuff from the Soviet entity providing legal assistance for a fee
If they had any money, they wouldn't be playing sovcit games.
There's an interesting take… maybe sovcits are not really wrong-headed fundamentalist morons. Maybe they are just desperate enough that it makes as much sense as the alternative. In this economy, can any of us really afford not to try sovcit life?
/s (I think)
How much does, say, registering and getting license plates for a 2001 Impala cost over there per year?
This is probably one of those situations where he thought he got away with something, and $100 is $100. However two years later after the fines and jail time, it’s probably an overwhelming amount, he has no choice but to double down on stupidity.
But to give a more serious answer, it highly depends on locality, and I didn’t see that.
Where I live, a simple registration renewal is $60. However you need to pay any back fees and you may need to pay fees for new plates. But you also need to get caught up on paying excise taxes to your town and get clearance from them to proceed. And you also need to get caught up on all traffic fines from all jurisdictions, and get from all of them a clearance to proceed. And you need to have current car insurance at least the minimum mandated by state and they need to update the registry. And you need a valid ID, such as a drivers license, which also has snowballing prerequisites. It can quickly become a real pain in the ass, and add up to a lot of money, even for an older car without much value. You know he’s been applying the same stupidity to all the prerequisites mandated by whereever he lives, and has made it as difficult as possible for himself
I don’t know about the “/s”, this makes way more sense than it should.
In this case, weee only reading about driving without a license but most of these stories have them going looney tunes ofpver much bigger obstacles in life.
At the risk of being downvoted to hell: child support. Regardless of what mistakes you made to get there, child support can be very expensive. If you get behind, it can very quickly seem insurmountable. I look at some news stories about people being arrested for not paying it, but it seems like they always owe an insane amount that there’s just no way they can catch up with. Maybe you don’t have sympathy for these people, and that’s ok, but this is ordinary life where a huge cost can be imposed on someone who doesn’t think they owe it. I understand the amount is calculated based on actual income, so it ought to be bearable, but it’s also large enough it only takes a few months behind before it may seem like an impossible mountain. I can see people being desperate. I can see them willing to try anything, once they e dig themselves in too deep
