The worst part was I had the money in my bank account, I was just being lazy about paying the tickets. and it's not like the cops are going to drive you to the ATM before they take you down to the station. And it was a friday night, everybody was out at the bars or doing whatever, and I couldn't get a hold of anyone to come down and post bail. I wound up getting a check from the county for a grand though for getting strip searched, and my tickets were only about $180.00, so I made out on the deal in the end. Deserved it for sitting in that shithole all weekend. Philadelphia county jail is like the fucking thunderdome, place is insane.

This is how drugs, weapons, and fucking cell phones get into the prison population.
Sorry, but when your arrested, for any reason, your right to privacy is already long gone.
