I haven’t been able to find information on a reward offer in that amount, either. I’m not saying that such a reward offer doesn’t exist; I’m just saying that I haven’t found any information about it.
I wonder if this is what is meant by a warrant with bail:
[quote]Warrant with bail set
If bail has been set on the warrant, the suspect has a right to appear before a judge in
the county of arrest for the limited purpose of posting bail or seeking a bail reduction.[/quote]–Alameda County [California] District Attorney’s Website for Law Enforcement Officers and Prosecutors
Here’s a snippet of Washington State law about warrants and bail:
[quote]. . . . any officer making an arrest under this section shall, if the person arrested wishes to deposit bail, take such person directly and without delay before a judge or before an officer authorized to take the recognizance and justify and approve the bail, including the deposit of a sum of money equal to bail. Bail shall be the amount fixed by the warrant.[/quote]–Washington Revised Code Title 10. Criminal Procedure § 10.31.030
As far as I can tell, the “$1,500,000 warrant” in the police e-mail quoted above is the same thing as the “warrant with a $1.5 million bail” in the newspaper report quoted below:
No problem! In retrospect, I probably should have left your name out of it. And originally I also interpreted that figure as a bounty. In fact, I’m still not a hundred percent sure that my new interpretation is right.
And besides, I make mistakes so often that I sometimes think that my life has been mostly mistakes.
Did you ever make two mistakes and find you were back where you started?
Three you might be worse off again and Four you could be better than ever!
If you weren’t out there making mistakes you’d be making the biggest mistake of dying before your time was up.
Wowsers.
Watch the whole video, it’s pretty surreal.
Certainly, that particular court appears to have had it with ZD’s faffing about and has no problem shooting his €2 ass back here right smart like.
Now listen, I ain’t bullshitting back here.
A prominent Flob alumni wrote me a couple months ago that he actually passed ZD on the street in Edinburgh.
I shit thee not.
I dont think hell be able to get fried Mars bars, Haggis or a fine Scotch in a Taiwan cell. Better get used to rice, shredded pork and making joss sticks. I still hate to see the Scots play by international rules when Taiwan does not in so many instances.
