Even with a Plan, Failure is Guaranteed.

The general idea of my plan is to remove ankle monitor and catch a bus to Denver, CO. Now of course, this might be a little easier said than done.

Removing Ankle Monitor

First of all, how exactly do I remove the monitor? Two ways, I can attempt to cut through the bracelet with a sharpened butcher's knife, or I can try to jam something into the main box part where the bracelet is inserted into (not sure of the actual name), and try to pry the cover off to successfully remove it. Now, it's obvious it'll send out a notification if the wiring in the bracelet is cut or damaged.. but (as far as I know), it's not monitored live, and instead will simply send an alert e-mail to the office that controls it. So if I'm fast enough between the time of removal and the time it takes for the person that monitors it to contact police, I should be able to catch a metro bus downtown or get into a store to grab a few things. Out of site, out of mind.

Bus to Denver / Risks

I've come to learn a few months ago that there's a bus company that regularly does rides from downtown all the way to Denver.. But why Denver? Why not stay in the same area? Well, for one, it's much easier to avoid detection by people that know me (and may report me), as well as avoiding people I've had trouble with while living out on the streets. But just because there's pros to running to Denver, doesn't mean there aren't ALOT of negative.

I'm a drug addict, plain and simple. Most recently (as in last 3 months) I've struggled alot with meth abuse, both smoking and slamming. Though I've also dabbled with blues (fentanyl pills, pressed as MBOX30s.. also one of the most popular and cheapest street drug here atm), and in winter these babies well out QUICK. That's my first worry, getting addicted to fentanyl (since meth isn't really a 'winter' drug, negative degree weather is not exactly the kind of weather I like being awake in for 3+ days..), but more importantly ODing but NOT dying. I'm content with the fact that I can/will die, especially on the streets. My worry with this though is that I OD, get the help I need, get rushed to a hospital, then get arrested afterwards because I have a warrant out in a different city. My case isn't the MOSt severe (I won't specify past robbery charge, first offence), but if I'm found after violating house arrest, I'll be held and taken to trial (which is BAD, considering the amount of evidence + already skipping a court date previously).
Denver is also infamously named 'Tent City', now known for its high rates of homelessness, and very open camps. Now having lots of homeless people around can be a pro or con.
