Yes I know that.
One more reason why I can't stand the whole process, people (typically the poor that can't afford a decent lawyer) are being sent to jail over petty/borderline stuff that could easily be avoided and the Judges are getting a kick back as well for helping to keep the cots full (kids for cash ring a bell?).

There is a lot of things in my opinion that need a serious make over, and the prisons is one on that list.
