So, I just got back from the county jail.
Here's the deal - we ran to Target to pickup a few things, and on the way back home there was a cop doing the sting thing. Well, apperently I have some (several) tail lights out. I saw them pull out onto the street so I turned off - figuring they were comin' after me. Pulled off into a side business and they hit their lights.
Ran my license, it came back suspended.
Quick overview: Now, almost a year ago I got a speeding ticket in another county - I paid the ticket over the phone shortly thereafter. Less than a month ago they send me notice that their systems were down and they were unable to process my credit card. They sent this notice to THREE wrong addresses before they got the correct one.
So, I call them - I pay the ticket and all is well right? Wrong! I get notice from the DOT that my license will be suspended Feb. 2nd. I call the Office of Driver services the next day and inquire about why - they say because I didn't pay a ticket in - guess where, that one county. So I call up that county and tell them, "Look. I have confirmation on my credit card that the ticket was paid. I am going to have my license suspended on the 2nd because you guys need to send receipt of the payment." The lady said she would mail something. I told her that, that was not good enough and she said she could call her contact in Des Moines. I thanked her and hung up.
Tonight, I got 'cuffed and detained because my license was suspended. I was humiliated in front of my family, I will have to take time off work, and cannot return to work until my license situation is fixed. It WAS fixed!!!!
So, how was your evening?
