thanks

heres another reason why I was "incarcerated"

Pretrial detainees are incarcerated individuals who are held in jail pending disposition of criminal charges against them, and who have not yet been convicted and sentenced or acquitted.

 

I guess since I was released, to await trial, does this mean I was not incarcerated?

 

They just wanted to know if I was incarcerated. so i said yes and told them why and the verdict. I am going to argue it tomarrow

 

Yes the judge said he would dismiss the case if I were to do 10 AA meetings, instead of wasting time trying to fight the case I said yes. I did the 10 AA meetings, and he dismissed the case.

 

And in no way shape or form does it say I am guilty. The judge gave me the benifit of the doubt under his terms. If I was in fact truly guilty and they wanted to prosecute they would have proceeded to do this. I made a valid point that there was never a alcohol test done on me. No proof, and that I was going to take this to trial, he said "look, I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt because of your good criminal history, (none) but I do want you to attend 10 aa meetings to see what alcohol does to people." I said okay that's easy and will save me time. I dont feel like driving 4 hours one way to prosecute this if I can have it dismissed this way.
It is not the same as pleading no contest, because I did not plead no contest.

 

The fact of the matter is that I was booked and released, as a Pre-trial Detainee. (Detained for booking) Then released to await trial. Not the same as incarcerated. Incarcerated is to spend time in jail. I never gave over personals and received the classic orange jumpsuit then sent into a cell.
