I sat in court on a fucked up ticket a few years ago. Because of the type of ticket it's considered a criminal misdemeanor out here where anywhere else it probably wouldn't be. I had to sit in a criminal court instead of traffic court.

Damned near every case ahead of mine had the judge sounding like a robot. Everyone took the same deal: Enter a guilty plea now, the judge sets that plea aside for 6 months (in two cases a year), you take counseling classes, stay out of trouble for whatever length of time, and when it's over you come back to court and everything is dismissed.

Not only did I hear this over and over, I saw people coming back completing the deal getting their cases dismissed.

One Mexican cat did get arrested on the spot. He was supposed to stay out of the Gila casino and stay off alcohol. He got arrested in that very casino on a drunk/disorderly charge. Bailiff walked behind him and cuffed him immediately.
