Bottom line is I am in some crime-related "classes" that are mandated by the state. They charged me $35 to reschedule their class so I could go home and vote.
I am articulate and I have a good ledger of my entire experience. There seems to be a strong case. There are other rights infringed, such as that during this court-mandated class they tell you that you can't drink or smoke weed for 24 hours before the class. If this is legal, it still looks bad. At the very least, they did not allow me credit to modify my schedule to go home and vote, while at the same time they reserved the right to modify my schedule for their own holidays.
Anyone interested in taking this up?

PS. I am not refuting the DUI in any way. That would be a dead end and I know it.
What I am challenging is their institutional apparatus that made it impossible for me to vote without paying them a service fee.

Voting is a privilege, not a right. The State recognizes privileges not rights. Arguing about the vote may work within the premise that the State and its laws are legitimate, but that's in direct contradiction to the fundamental basis of my premise.

I haven't had a California ID or License since they implemented the rule that they could strap me to a chair and draw my blood, then sell the information to a 3rd party, which they did.
Without my agreement.
I didn't fight them, but I didn't accede either.
