Criminal Justice Question?

Question by shadyslady4400: Criminal Justice Question?
Ok, this may be a bit long, but thanks for all who read. I had a dui in 2006, I was ordered to pay some fines, and pay for a 3-day alcohol treatment. I never finished paying the fines, and a warrant was put out for my arrest. Fast forward to 2009. My boyfriend received a kidney after waiting for 5 years on the list. I was driving him home from hospital, and was stopped for a “loud exhaust”. After running me I was taking into the station, without cuffs, no rights were read to me. They were nice enough to not call the county of my warrant, but refused to call the ambulance for helping my boyfriend( who had no pain medication), saying it was out of their jurisdiction! I was finally bailed out, and we had to stop at an er on the way home, because my bf was in so much pain. The next day he was life-flighted back to cleveland clinic, with two mini strokes. He is still there recooperating now. My question to you is do you think the courts will see it as justified why I drove? They asked if there was someone else, and there really wasn’t. His parents bailed me out from Texas, and called relatives of his that I didn’t even know how to get a hold of. Plus it took them about 4 hours to get there. We have a child together, do you think that makes a difference? They have already impacted his health, which in my mind, they had a right to help him, since they are supposed to be public servants. Now that he is in hospital, the impound will be so much, we will never get our car back, just wondering what to do??? Oh my warrant in the other county wont be valid on court date, made payment, and will be on payment plan, so that shouldn’t be an issue here. Thanks for everyone who answers. If it matters, I am in Ohio, and it was the Brecksville police, they have about a 1 mile drag of highway in their jurisdiction, that they like to abuse their powers.
I am not saying we don’t have friends, just not good enough friends that were available at that time. We are on a fixed income, paying a taxi to take us home 100 miles was out of the question.
I think people are misunderstanding the question. I know i procrastinated on my warrants, but when i go to court the warrant wont be there. So my only charge will be driving with loud exhaust and driving under suspension. Really wondering if I will get leniency for the driving under suspension under the circumstances.

No, the court will not see it like that. What about a taxi, neighbor, co-worker, etc.? You are telling me that you two have no friends at all? I do not buy that.
