The legal system.. “Justice” my interpretation- “JUST US”.
Have you done anything about your “substance abuse” problem?
You say you don’t have one but they know you do, they are “GODS” in that sense.
Have you gone on your own and received any kind of help, counseling or treatment?
What most don’t know but I do is that you need something to “GIVE” to the court.. if you don’t you could be screwed.. Then there is the issue of the guy before you.. did he piss the judge off?

Get your “treatment” started.. and ask for work release if they offer it and they want you in jail..

Oh and go with a pocket full of money (not literally or they will take it at booking) but prepare to pay off the fine ASAP.. This might get you off of probation earlier..
