Yo I swear to god.

So I got arrested for "aggravated assult" because I defended myself against a racist bully in highschool

And you know what the fuck did my mom do, start fucking discussing about the details of case during the parent meeting thing.

And also like literally the next day when I had to go to the juvenile court system thing, my mom keeps saying a bunch of shit to the court staff, WHO IS NOT THE PUBLIC DEFENDER BTW.

Mom wtf, are your stupid. Are you TRYING to fuck it up even more? Shut the fuck up.

Literally I keep trying to tell her to shut the fuck up, stoping mentioning details other than just simply deny the allegations.

(Charges ended up dropped)

Also btw, I start using a non-english language to talk to my mom (cuz English isn't our Native Language) and the court staff immediately got more aggressive with their tone and treated me as though I was conspiring with mom about something. And they demanded for us to use English. Xenophobic pieces of shit court system.

I'm glad I had Citizenship, the system would literally attempt to deport a minor over a school fight. Cruel as fuck.

I mean strictly speaking by using a language other than the native one of the court you were conspiring with your mother.

Conspiring is just planning or acting jointly with another in secret in its most mundane form.

If your hiding your conversation by changing the language that is text book boring mundane conspiracy.

Even if you didn't intend to hide it, you were in fact doing so. It's entirely understandable for a court to demand you speak the language of the court or have a translator present to ensure everyone understands.

"the native one of the court" but the US doesn't have an official language

I don't think I was technically in a court room.

It's... okay I'm no laywer, but it felt more like just some court staff reading out / explaining the charges in a small room, it didn't really feel like a court hearing or anything, at least it didn't seem like it.

I honestly was so confused af and wasn't sure what was happening.
