[04-23 20:24] [Chat] Roku: aka, there was a case where someone killed someone with negligence due to cell phone use, was stone cold sober and convicted not of vehicular manslaughter, but instead of negligent homicide. difference is 1-20 years for the former and 20 to life for the latter. It was upheld in appeals.
[04-23 20:25] [Chat] Icewolfz: thats a state by state thing i think
[04-23 20:25] [Chat] Icewolfz: so a lto of it depends on the sate
[04-23 20:25] [Chat] Icewolfz: we area republcian stae they wil lfry your ass
[04-23 20:25] [Chat] Roku: so We're lenient until you screw up, then the book gets tossed.
[04-23 20:25] [Chat] Icewolfz: n o20 to life it iwll be flip a switch or not
[04-23 20:26] [Chat] Roku: also there's no bail bonds here and truth in sentencing, so 10 years prison is at least 10 years with good behavior. Bad behavior could net you another 50%.
[04-23 20:26] [Chat] Icewolfz: here they mostly just charge you a fine unless you hit someone
[04-23 20:26] [Chat] Icewolfz: granted dependgn on the city/county it may change
[04-23 20:26] [Chat] Icewolfz: not sure baout bail bonds but probably have them here
[04-23 20:27] [Chat] Icewolfz: but i havnt ever dug int ot cimral texas laws so no lcue
[04-23 20:27] [Chat] Icewolfz: overall unless you hurt someone in this stae probably just get a fine
[04-23 20:27] [Chat] Roku: no bail bonds is probably a good thing, because there's a ton of people that shoplift or something minor like that and can't pay a $1000 bond. So they do their time while waiting for court and usally time served is more than they would have had in the first place if they had money.
[04-23 20:28] [Chat] Icewolfz: wel ltexas has a bail bonds system
[04-23 20:28] [Chat] Icewolfz: at least that is what google tells me
[04-23 20:28] [Chat] Icewolfz: wit ha 10 to 20% non refund fee
[04-23 20:29] [Chat] Roku: where bail bonds really make a difference is in felony cases with white collar crimes.
[04-23 20:29] [Chat] Icewolfz: proably depends how the state has them setup
[04-23 20:29] [Chat] Roku: the rich do something with fraud, then get a 100,000 bail... sounds good until they post it using only 10,000 and flee to the cayman islands.
[04-23 20:29] [Chat] Icewolfz: most only know the tv/movie verisonf ob bail bonds
