I got arrested in Kazakhstan and represented myself in court
I don&#x27;t know even what to make of this... The preamble suggests that Kazakhstan justice was superior to American justice, but after reading the whole story I&#x27;m like... dude, grow a sense of self-responsibility. It&#x27;s not like your visa expiring was a surprise... you knew exactly when it was going to happen, and YOU CHOSE to violate it without giving yourself any wiggle room. Then you willingly participated in a corrupt system, rewarding those who profit from it.<p>It would have been so much easier and involve less questionable ethics to just leave more than 24 hours in advance.
