I'm guessing so. He can't pay for the fine himself and that is why he is looking for a job. And his step-dad is kinda pissed about paying the fine until he gets a job.

here fines dont roll over to parents. doesnt make sense to. but if its clear ttghe parents let it happen, ttyhen sure, i guess. and if u cant pay the fine u cant pay thw fine. they cant lock u up for that it wouldnt make sense to lockc up someone because thwy cant generate income


+everyone knows its just straigght atupid to waste taxpayer money on chasine pot heads in the streets and througgh the very expensive legal system

I think his father is giving him the $14 to pay for it. I don't think the government is making the father pay it cos the son can't.

so wait. a guys broke. gets locked up over nuthin, wasting taxpayer money is used to bring this pot head to justice, the broke guy is encumbered with fines, and then goes to jail when he cant pay the fines? or pay that $14? if he cant pay it, he cant pay it. thats the end of that story.

Yeah pretty much. Well, he got locked up because he didn't pay the initial fine, which wasn't even posted to him. But everything else you got pretty much spot on.

and thats the system huh.

what a shame.
d
aedric, u have to use more taxpayer money. extend the trials, come up with bullcrap stuff so they have to bring gin more specialists, doctors, translators, ottgher experts on some crap u make up, etc.
u mjst practice ur speechcraft skills immediatwly!

Unfortunately it doesn't work that. The system will just view him as another drug-[censored] junkie and dismiss any case he puts forward.

tons of smart people at school who can show u the way. lawyers do it all the time. he just needs the same info those lawyers hav. id start at school.

This. You need to get out of this situation buddy. It's completely disgusting that they won't even help you out by paying for a haircut. Next time you do get some cash, I'd suggest investing in a set of clippers so you can at least cut your own hair. Then get yourself to an employment agency, even without a phone you can drop in every day and ask if they have anything for you. The fact that you are willing to make the effort to walk down every day might even impress them. Lastly, ask around relatives and see if any of them can take you in for a while, because sitting on your lonesome on the floor for most of the day is no way to live mate.

OP, assuming if ya haven't already tried, try to find the closest job agency ya can around the area, or a Mcdonalds. They offer temp jobs and it really better then nothing. Seeing as ya online, assuming ya reading this, there also site like Monster or indeed.com.

Also expect some drug tests; so clean up ya act. If desperate, try cutting ya own hair if have the guts to.

I think it was the fact he was on the street when he was caught that is the main problem, the same way you can't walk down the street drinking alcohol or smoke tabacco inside pubs/restruants anymore (In the UK at least).
