Huzzah for the Great City of Detroit

[ICantSpellDawg]

The mayor has been jailed

Haha! Stand and deliver, you SCUM!

[Tribesman]

Haha! Stand and deliver, you SCUM!

Its the outragous tyrannical government , how unfair that they can take away a mans freedom and throw him in jail just because he took a business trip
Oh I forgot , the mayor was an idiot who was jailed for not following the correct proceedure as set out to him that would have allowed him to go on a business trip and as such is punished in accordnace with the law .
Kinda like a fellow having to sell his house because he didn't follow the correct proceedure as set out to him and as such is punished in accordance with the law .

Thanks Tuff that saved the effort of opening a new topic to parody Rabbits tyrannical government one

A corrupt guy jumping bail to another country is the exact same thing. I can't believe I didn't see that.

What a moron that man is. I'm surprised he says something along the lines of "What, Windsor is right next to Detroit, it's kind of in Michigan"

Errrrr...jumping bail is failing to appear , this was a breach of bail conditions but was in no way jumping bail .
All this was is a case of an idiot doing something that he shouldn't when a simple action by himself would have meant the issue didn't become a legal escalation .
Try again Tuff .

Have you read about this guy?

[Tribesman]

Have you read about this guy?

Yes he is a prick and a politician , plus he is one hell of an idiot .(actually all them words go together quite well don't they)
But he didn't "jump bail" and he is getting punished in accordance with the law , and this jailing is for his own stupidity when he could have taken easy measures that would have prevented him being in breach of his bail conditions and still allowed on his trip across the border .

[Tribesman]

Yeah, how could anyone get that idea....

You want to rely on a sloppy journalists attention grabbing headline for a legal definition
You reaslly should choose your ideas more carefully .

[ICantSpellDawg]

I'm not suggesting that anyone take his home over this.

jump bail
v. to fail to appear for a court appearance after depositing (posting) bail with the intention of avoiding prosecution, sentencing or going to jail. Posting bail guarantees that the accused person will give up the money if he/she does not show up in court. It allows the accused person to remain free pending the final decision on his/her criminal case. In some circumstances a criminal defendant can be declared to have jumped bail even before missing an appearance in court, if it is discovered he/she has left the state, the country, disappeared or made plans to flee. At that point the court can revoke the bail and issue a warrant for the defendant's arrest. It is also called "skipping" bail.

But go on, keep arguing about a meaningless distinction. It's what you do.
