How Julita escaped the hands of HPD

Hi Jóvenes....

This a story based on pure facts... no fiction- there are witnesses to back me up.

Last night Donajih, Jesus her husband and i hung out in this downtown spot, we then ended the night with joy and all ready to go home. We then each took off in our respective vehicles.

As i was driving off on Elgin and Travis a taxi cab hit me out of nowhere. This due to the lights not working and no traffic control working whatsoever at the time. Not to mention the dude was going at 1000 per hour.

I was okay, but i was then really not worried about having a stiffed neck or a broken whatever. The whole time i was worried about not getting HPD involved and BS'ing my way out of it with the taxi cab driver.

To my misfortune, one officer on bike and one security on bike came right behind us. After a whole hour of waiting for HPD officers to come and do the report, the taxi cab driver and i decided to arrange it on the side.

To my fortune i escaped the hands of HPD bureaucracy. Imagine this scenario: girl with no driver's license+ who is also undocumented= Huge ticket or subject to removal of vehicle. I got away and i still don't know how.

In the waiting, I called Donajih and Jesus who were just around the corner- they showed up to help me out through this. I thank my friends for this gesture. We got some footage of this accident to present to our potential documentary. No, i didn't get arrested although Jesus was asking the police officer to do it in order to make our footage more interesting... LOL. We also talked to Officer Gabriel who was so supportive when i explained him my situation. He gave us more information on who we can get in touch when trying to pull more people for the march coming up.

The point of this ordeal was: Until when should we be more worried about receiving that huge ticket or having our cars taken away because we don't have a driver's license rather than worrying abou our own well-being?

This is just not right.

At the end though, i was just thankful to be okay. The accident could have been so much worse, believe me!
