You’re in the jailhouse now.
Would they bail you out?

They’d probably assume either kiting checks or tax evasion.

Bailing me out would depend on them getting an explanation.

They would assume that it was a mistake and that I was innocent. My family would not have the cash lying around to bail me out.
Which is ok because its on my bucket list.

Probably the worst. Of course, I wouldn’t be in jail on just a whim. The police have to have probable cause.
(My family would probably do nothing. I offered to give everything I own, house, cars, everything if someone of them would put up the $300 I needed to have a legal will drawn up by a lawyer. There were no takers…)

@kritiper -Well, what did you do? We won’t tell anyone

I supposedly stole $20,000 from my parents estate while being the trustee and POA. Or so one sister attests.

@kritiper -Now that is unfortunate.

Probably punching some guy. It’s only a matter of time before that happens.

@Demosthenes Tell him he’ll get it again unless he bails you out!

I guess they’d think I wise-mouthed someone at the wrong time. Cops don’t much like that, I hear. Judges either.

As for what I got stopped for, probably something trafficky. Not that I would knowingly run a red light, of course. Had to be their mistake. Red light was facing in the wrong direction.

I sure would expect the one I bailed out to bail me out in turn.

@kritiper, if you’re still lacking a will, look up holographic wills and see what they require in your state. You can probably write, sign, and date your own, in your handwriting, and have it stand up in court.

What an interesting but strange question. My family would have no idea. I have no idea. At least that’s what I think. Lol

Something to do with rescuing an animal.

@Jeruba Thanks. I have already looked into the matter and you are correct. Like you said, a detailed letter written in my own hand, signed and dated is good enough here.
But, I have no one to leave everything to so I’ll just leave it up to the state or whoever.
