case notes for podcast.
the described warrants were two, one 'failure to register address' felony and one 'providing false information to the registry' felony.
reason why two felony warrants were brought. a city cop prohibited me from sleeping in my vehicle at my registered address at the time, a store parking lot. it wuz a city ordinance that incidentally interfered with homeless sex offenders living in their vehicles.
i contacted and got permission from my compliance officer to park and sleep elsewhere once in a while if needed to avoid the cop (can u believe that?)... and that if a trooper ever came by the store to see if I wuz parked there (mandatory residency check) and didn't find me, he could call me and I'd tell em where i wuz and/or parked and sleeping.
this very thing ended up happening, but instead of calling me, two warrants were issued. apparently the compliance officer lied or forgot to tell the troopers.
he called and left a very suspicious message trying to lure me into the office to make a change on the registry residency paper work. specifically to add 'in truck' in the residency description underneath 'parking lot' so that everyone would know i wuzzint sleeping in the store or behind a bush somewhere, but in the back of my truck.
i then decided not to comply becuz I didn't want to have to even go through being arrested by state troopers and put into jail until the compliance offier cleared the misunderstanding if he even did at all.
i wuz doing unbelievably difficult existientially situational ethics at that time and to be true to Troof, Just Us, and Libertinism, i finally decided to pull a james dean and I went on the lam.
when arrested as described in the podcast I wuz charged with the additional two felonies mentioned above, meaning two things. watch closely.
first, the fact that the omission of the phrase 'in truck' in the residency description warranted and could be called two separate crimes must entail that there are different elements involved in each or else they would be indistinguishable statutes. in other words, one kind of crime wuz here called two for the sake of beefing up the charges (called over-charging in plea bargain lingo). a case of double jeopardy of sorts, then, wuz upheld by the state in charging and convicting me of it.
second, might i expect that I'd have the good graces of my persecutors to presuppose and grant without further qualification that indeed i must be in my truck if I've registered the parking lot as my address.... and not behind a bush or tent in the sporting goods section of the store?
is that an incredible expectation? and further, suppose it isn't. okay, is a FELONY reasonable for the particular nature of MY case?
I ended up doing two years in prison for those charges.... all from the broken promises of a compliance officer. Four or so months of that wuz spent in the wrong custody prison for my inmate classification... a mistake they only corrected after I raised a fuss about it. I wuz supposed to be in brown clothes (inmate lingo for medium custody) and on the yard rather than max and in the cage.
discuss.
