Solutions For Positive Choices

It's a complete scam. You sit around and watch PBS and Natgeo movies for 2.5 hours a week. Many people have been here multiple times so it obviously doesn't help. You can't go to multiple classes, it has to be once a week. It's once a week because they are in cahoots with the DMV. The DMV gives you a restricted licence that can get you in additional trouble if you aren't either going to work or going to your class. Finishing the class is the only way to get an unrestricted licence. Sounds suspicious and convenient? This is to guarantee that you get punished for 12 solid weeks and risk getting more time and paying more fines. If you miss any classes, you can make them up with brevity. You cant take the classes all at once. Most people get paid at the end of the month, guess what? You have to pay at the beginning of the month or get a late fee. How convenient! Not good for someone who travels for work and gets paid at the end of the month like me. I wasn't even allowed to work for two months because I don't work in Butte County. Do you trim marijuana like 40% of Butte cointy does for their job? Guess what, if you smell like it you have to pay for a drug test, weather you pass or fail. These aren't "classes", this is a money machine that milks the poor. And trust me, if you're rich this will be a walk in the park for you. I have to suffer through this, despite being wrongfully accused and manipulated into admitting guilt just to make the DA happy. Why did I let them coerce me I to admitting guilt to something I didn't do? I am miserably depressed, the legal system has failed me, and they will fail you too. I wish I was dead. If drinking and driving was a true pandemic, they would stop taxing people to death for it and start using tax dollars for better public transportation and interlock systems etc. but it's too profitable to fix.
