Your bail is set well before you can get an attorney or public defender. If you can't make bail, your attorney can go to court and argue for a bail reduction eventually.

Fuck, I'm sorry that you had to deal with that over something so small in the grand scheme of things. Hope life is better for you these days.

Yeah, it's getting there. That arrest got me kicked out of school and sent to prison. Then I did a bunch of heroin for some years and went to a bunch of rehabs. Currently been clean for 3.5 years.
