the Law is an Ass

Picture this...

Monday morning... you arrive at 8:30... Court 'starts' at 9:00... Shirt in pants, search yuh bag, Cell phone off, Metal Dector?, Empty Pockets for Hand Swipe... then onto the Court... that is supposed to start at 9:00...

Sit and wait... No Talking, No Chewing Gum... a list of NOs... Wait for the presiding Judge (who is paid enough to never call in sick or reach late)... but guess what... Judge late...

ALL RISE... get up show respect for the lady who walk in an hour late... sit quietly... call a case... a Child Custody matter at that... quickly informs both parties that this case will be adjourned until June... calls another case...

all parties are not ready... "I am here to represent the representer who isnt here yet..."... Judge realises that it have plenty cases and makes the statement that all the other cases will have to be adjourned to hear this one... ALL RISE... she exits...

wait a couple minutes more... ALL RISE... calls your case and the earliest available date is in May... your lawyer has another case on the same day... so June it is... you ask the lawyer... WTF? why wasnt the case heard?.. oh they have a Murder Trial...

spent about 2 hours at the Court and nothing happened but an adjournment... you realise one of the reasons why the LAW is an ASS

Now I question...

Child Custody and Murder in the same Court... overhead in the gallery "Trafficking Cases are in another Court"... Trafficking? Drug Trafficking or the Vehicular kind?.. I thought that we had separate courts for separate offences... I thought that they had a Family Court... why they fighting over children in the same Court with Murders and House-Breakers... I doh understand...
