    Children arent allowed to have juries in other states too. I got told repeatedly during my Juvenile case that children don’t have rights. They fucked me good for a miniscule amount of Marijuana. I’m talking, fucking years of my childhood. I don’t want to say the state because it might out my identity but I’ll give you a hint, its another shithole state that comes to mind when you think of fucking cousins, much like Kentucky. Glad to be out of that part of the country forever now.

      Had similar late childhood. Put on probation for weed possession, then would get locked up for every minor infraction. A local police officer would follow me around whenever he saw me, make up excuses for pulling me over, and search my car. Got locked up for 6 months for being 30 minutes late to school once… because I got pulled over on the way to school. I’m guessing there was some kind of graft going on with the probation officers, judges, and detention centers, because they would give out such long sentences for such minor offenses.
