The jail by me just sends you out the door with what ever you had on you no money just a good luck hope we don't see you. The only reason I know this is because of the good people on the bus telling stories If Lock Up Raw has taught me nothing else it's that when it's time for release they give the guy like $40 and whatever he had on him when he was arrested and send him out the door. Ah, OK. Still, 40 bucks seems enough for a cab ride, or at least getting you close enough that walking the rest of the distance isn't an issue, and it certainly is enough for a bus ticket. And again, you can't tell me he couldn't find someone to drive him, or hitch a ride.[/quote] Again the only problems with that is how America works, taxis charge by distance so it depends on how far he is going, and also the jails usually don't let you call someone after you get out and hitch hiking is illegal here |

If he lived up here, I'd feel sorry for him. Walking 8 miles in the winter weather could be dangerous. But he lives in Georgia, where it's averaging in the 60s for daytime highs right now, probably 30s or 40s for nighttime lows? That's really not bad. Suck it up, kiddo.

So leaving keys in an (and I quote) "abandoned bus" and using it for about 5 minutes before re-abandoning it (thus not really altering its state much more than a trifle of a distance displacement) is what we're calling "theft" nowadays?
If this guy drove the school bus into a chop shop not only would he have gotten away scott free, but he would've had a few thousand dollars in his pocket instead of being up for a $1,000 fine. It's like law enforcement really can't understand when to call a victimless crime a victimless crime-- they'd rather tax-payers fund these non-criminals' stay in the clink indefinitely for something that really wasn't hurting anybody.
I don't see what the big deal is, really. Intent was not to steal the bus, clearly, since he left it at the school after he was finished with it. Fine him for the gas that he used and be done with it if you must, but really leaving keys in the bus is the biggest crime in this entire story.

He looks like a scruffy Egoraptor. That's what I was thinking... well that or Eric Matthews. I was thinking a thinner Jack Black. |
