The courthouse and all workers in there including the judges will do anything they can to make you seem wrong. I recommend never getting in trouble in this town or you'll never leave here again.

Visited the grounds for the bell tower. The tour guide told us about the courthouse architecture so we stopped in. Gorgeous stained glass. Fun artwork outdoors.
