want just nothing legal all right so it's all dependent on whether there a no no so um New Jersey has no bail anymore all right no bonds so we don't decide if you go to jail or not that there's a computer system that does it and what the computer system does is it checks to see if you if you have any recent warrants um and it also checks to see if you've been arrested recently from my experience people who've been arrested uh like recently or like a ton of times in a short span usually go to the county I've had someone who had a 2009 arrest never did anything else sh she had like the lowest score possible we had a guy same thing four years before low score possible um however I can't guarantee that cuz I don't really know how the systems algorithm works so you're going to have someone that's been arrested I don't know eight times in 2020 and it might tell them to go to to jail I have no control of that so like I said you and I are going to find out at the same time um and that's why I asked if you've ever been arrested [Music] recently yeah does that answer some of your questions or do you have even more questions after that I am uh no I don't have any questions right now gotcha yeah just um scared cuz you don't want to go to County right right I have I don't think yeah no one wants to go there I'm with you on that it's a holiday and I have a child and a family

the ambulance to come check you out no no okay it's not like that okay I got I got you you're feeling you know under the weather correct yeah I'm on like hepatitis treatment before I go to County I'm going to support treatment gotcha okay I don't have my medication all right at any moment if you want the ambulance or need medical assistance you let me know I get them to you right away okay [Music]
