Look at it this way, you have a chance to meet some new friends.

You can contact the court, file papers, go before a judge, and request this.  \nDepending on the arrest type, length of time since sentencing, the positive changes you have made in your life, and how the record is affecting your future capabilities, you just might get it removed.

I am not a lawyer, but I have some experience in the law.  \nDon't know which state you are from, and that would make a difference.\n\nWith jail budgets getting tighter and tighter, many institutions are opting to pass some of the costs on to the inmates in the form of fees and such.  Whether this is legal in the jurisdiction you are from is whether there is a state law and/or county ordinance to permit it.\n\nOn the second part of your question reference punishing loved ones, it depends on what "punishment" is done and how it is being done.  Contact the Sheriff or jail administrator as they may be able to explain what is going on.  Don't go in making vague accusations of corruption without some evidence and supporting documentation. Ultimately, you may have to contact a local attorney in your area.\n\nDear Old Dad

Yes, and they are trying to keep you out of trouble.  Listen to the police.  If they wanted to charge you they would have let  you do it and then charged you.  They are giving you a heads up to help you stay out of trouble.  Mighty nice of them if you ask me.

Probably depends on where you live.  In the south, they may lock you up for a very long time.

You need to call the jail for that information.  In some cases you have to make an appointment.  Each county or state has different rules.

Yes, provide that you are not under a court order from leaving the country. If you are and you attemp to flee the country, then you have another charge added to your record.

They have to read you your rights and tell you why you are being arrested. They cant stick you in a car and drive you to the station, then tell you.\n\nThey could loose a case against you

only if you want to go to jail can you tell them that

Not necessarily.  It depends on what type of hearing you will be going to.  If it's a preliminary hearing, you will just plea and get a new court date; however, if it is your sentencing date, probably.  \n\nAre you going to trial, or taking a plea bargain?  Do you know if you will be imprisoned, or do you just think it might be a condition of your sentencing.  \n\nWith a little more information a more complete answer could be given.  Let me know some of the details; maybe I can allay your fears.  \n\nGood luck.

You are what they call "Jail Bait" as in that 20 year old guy is risking jail time, and I'm guessing that you don't really want him to go to jail for you, so wait until you're 18, and then do what ever you like. You're already 17, so it's not that much longer, and on your 18th birthday, be sure to use protection.

Rebeka M,\nI'm not kidding, you are looking at jail time if you don't make good on those tickets. One day someone is going to knock on your door with a warrant for your arrest, I'm not kidding. They will only give you so much time to show up and then it's to late. Hope you have a good excuse to give to the judge. Take care of those tickets now as soon as possible.\nTDCWH

Call them from a pay phone.  The courthouse or police station/sheriff's office will advise you.  Also, if it's a misdemeanor, turn yourself in and get it over with.  Believe me, it's not worth looking over your shoulder for for so long.  Eventually they'll catch you anyways and then it'll be worse.
