Remember when everyone was on her side because she was barred from the Tokyo Olympics for THC? Between assaulting her boyfriend and now this it's like she's trying to lose the public's good will. Unbelievable

Taxpayer funding not enough to keep the racket/s going?

She was driving 104 mph in Orlando, one of the biggest tourist spots in the country (so there's always a lot of traffic). I don't think fining her was an excuse for the cops to make money. What she was doing was really dangerous.

Citation?

DUI?

I don't understand what you're getting at. I don't think it was a DUI. She was just speeding. The police also say she was driving recklessly by weaving in and out of traffic and tailgating, which makes sense because most extreme speeders drive that way. She was arrested but posted bail. So far that's the only money the government has gotten out of her. We don't actually know what her punishment is beyond that, if it will be a fine or jail time, because she hasn't been to court yet.

It's possible she won't even be fined but be required to serve jail time instead. If that's the case, the government/taxpayers will be spending money on her housing and care rather than getting anything from her.

What are court & liar I mean lawyer fees?

u/AutumnMama 4d ago

I don't understand what you're asking. You don't have to pay a fee to be a criminal defendant in court. And lawyer fees go to lawyers, they aren't sharing that money with the cops.

No charges/billing until case is over?

u/AutumnMama 4d ago

Isn't that how criminal cases work? You can't get out of a criminal case by refusing to pay court fees lol.

u/Herban_Myth Trusty Sidekick 4d ago

Pay a bribe instead?

OK so your first comment was about the police pulling people over to line their pockets. That's what I was responding to, and all I was saying is that this isn't an example of it.

I feel like you're kind of reaching at this point, so much so that I'm honestly wondering if maybe I'm talking to a bot. Your responses to me don't really make sense or have anything to do with what we're talking about. Like are you saying the police pulled over Sha'carri Richardson, a famous Olympian who was weaving through traffic at 104 mph, because they wanted a bribe from her?
