Have you ever been arrested?

No, I've never been arrested. In fact, I've never even had as much as a speeding ticket.

Never had a speeding ticket, or a parking ticket. However
Six times.
1 murder, 3 assault, 1 suspicion of possession, 1 drunk in charge...of a pushbike.
Of them all just 2 of the ABH ended with actual charges being laid, cleared both times.

Must've been '97? Was in a pub for Sunday lunch with my then-girlfriend and her family when in came her mum's cousin and her family - they didn't get along (I've no idea why?). Girlfriend's mum went to the loo, as did her cousin and two minutes later there is screaming and shouting with girly punches and hair flying all over. We all rushed through, they all rushed through, fracas ensued, police called, arrested.

All charges later dropped as someone saw good sense that it was six of one and half a dozen of the other.

I'm not a violent person but I did, however, drop their keys to their brand new Toyota in a toilet cistern after they fell on the floor.

I have come close to being arrested through no fault of my own. My emotionally unstable, substance abusing ex-girlfriend was lying to the police, and I nearly paid the price for it.

Aside from that, I have never seen the inside of a police car, police station, or court room. I have had some minor "offenses" if you want to call them that.

- I had one speeding ticket in Mississippi in 1993,

- one parking ticket in California sometime in 2001 through 2003, i dont remember exactly.

- The worst that has ever happened was around the same time period. I had my car impounded once for parking it on a public street with expired tags. That was a joy to fix. Having to get a ride from a roommate, wait in a 3 hour line at the DMV to get a moving permit, and pay another 300 dollars to get my car out of impound.

As laws, rules, and regulations go, I've always lived my life on the straight and narrow. For me, risky behavior and "lawbreaking" is driving 85 in a 75 MPH zone. I usually do just 5 over.

Yes. In college I had some drinks, did the responsible thing and walked home. While laying in bed I realized I had parked my car in a spot I was going to get a ticket in, so I got up to move the car. Cop said I rolled through the stop sign, and hauled me in.

$600 fine and defensive driving class and case was dismissed. Of course this was years ago, so I'm sure the penalties would be much different now.

No, but I've had a couple brushes with the law in Idaho. That's as close as I want to get.

[Sailor Steve]

No.

The funniest police involvement I ever say was at my friends wedding. His father had given him a new car as a wedding gift. The brides family were known to be terrible decorating the wedding car, even destroying them. So much so when her brother got married, he kept his new Trans-Am locked in a garage, but they found it and went to town.

My friends father told them no paint, fish, damages, etc. One family guarding the car, the other plotting. It finally got nasty when they tried to mess with the car and a fight broke out, which led to many. The police came and arrested several.

It's something that should be on youtube, but long ago.

Never been arrested.

Got a ticket, tho.
I was trying to stick an advert of my English private lessons on a post (which is illegal if you don't have a permission) and two municipal guards caught me red handed.
They asked me how many I had already sticked so I said that it was the first one (the 5th actually ).
Got a 12 Euro fine, paid it the same day and....got my money back three weeks later because the bank account number on the form was out-of-date.

Never paid it again as I had the confirmation of paying it for the first time and it was my mom who received the reimbursement. (her signature = not my problem).

Retarded municipal guards are retarded.

Bunch of law breaking gits 'round hyere. Especially that Armistead gang.

Never been arrested but, got rousted for a bag of weed once. Cops lets us all go. They kept the weed and a fresh pack of papers though. They seemed more insulted that we didn't have any beer. I was a Dr. Pepper totaler. They weren't interested in that.

What about that time for prostitution?

Maybe I should posted "Things you should've got arrested for".

I have never been arrested.

I came close once when I dropped a Lowenbrau from the forth floor balcony.That one was a complete accident I was talking to a friend and it was just after we got off duty fist beer I had had all week and only a few sips.Well the beer just slipped out of my hand and feel down and hit the hood of a VW Passat parked in the front row bounced and then hit the wall/railing on the first floor.No sooner had I heard the bottle smash I hear this female SP that had been patrolling the dorms yell,"Some @*$5&! just threw a bottle at me". At the same time I was a bit impressed by this bottles random ballistics and structural integrity.

I thought well that is just grand now it went from dropping a beer to assault.So we took the rest of the Lowenbrau and hid it in back of a wall locker and just hung out military police are very good at catching people trying to escape on foot so it is better to stay put it looks less suspicious.The cops came up with a working dog which made me very worried at first but I knew dog handler and he never said anything even though the dog was doing the sit alert on me.They had better fish to fry anyway I smelled pot smoke in the air around the time I dropped the beer bottle and I saw a few people get carted away after they talked to me.More than likely the tokers.

I felt bad about denting the VW but not bad enough to also risk taking an assault change and telling the truth and risked hoping that a courts marshal board believe my claim.Besides you buy car insurance for a reason.

Speeding tickets I earned a few of those when I was younger.

Nice AF dorm story. I have one similar, that i did deliberately, that probably would have gotten me hauled off. It was at my last duty station before leaving active. I had only been stateside about 2 or 3 months, was still in "overseas mode", and it was the friday just after an exercise. (thats the excuse i'm using LOL )

I ahhh.... made an MRE heater bomb, and dropped it casually into the bushes from the 3rd story on the other end of the barracks, and casually walked away to the other end of the barracks. It takes awhlie for the water to boil.

KABOOOM. My buds gets a giggle, the SP's show up, and im in my room at the other end of the barracks watching TV acting like i knew nothing.

I think who you are dealing with has a lot to do with it.In my case I had not seen the cops so I did not know who they where if I knew any of them or not.So I chose not to take the risk of being honest because I felt they would not believe me anyway.The dog handler knew me but the others did not he looked to be NCOIC but I could not be sure because they had others searching for the bottle tosser and the the source of the pot smoke.More than likely I have a feeling that the pot heads also got blamed for the beer thier where plenty of hot heads stupid enough to display an attitude and even take blame for something they did not even do.I actually pulled that of once in high school but that is another can of worms.

That and your attitude if you get caught red handed.And I guess I did but only the one that knew was the dog handler and understood the dogs signs in fact only he would know that exact dogs signs a dog picks one person and stays with them in the military.I only knew what the dog was "saying" because he had told me in a conversation some of the dogs alerts.The human also knew me well enough to know tossing a full beer was not something I would do willingly.

That is the thing though you never know the officer you are dealing with.It might be Jimbuna in which case you'll get beaten severely .
