please help me understand the consequences of being arrested

[toadzilla]

ok, so here is my situation. I very much want to go stand with the OWS - ers howvever I have been unemployed for the last year. I got a traffic ticket for $300 last month because I rolled through an intersection at 15 mph. my income over the last year has been around 7 thousand dollars, my rent is $550.00 a month. you can do the math.

I want to help so badly, i want to offer my body to the masses, i want to be counted. but if i get arrested, i need to know, what will be the consequences? will i loose everything that i have left?

thank you
