Nope. I have had weapons drawn on me...once by NIS and the other by a SWAT team.

Both times I walked away with my firearm.

Almost being shot is a lot more exciting than almost being arrested.
Thank goodness I'm a "good guy".

Speaking of which, how did your soliciting case turn out? Did you get off

I got off, lack of evidence...

Yes, and underage at the time. It all went down hill real fast the moment I opened up an Army Field Manual called Viet Cong Booby Traps and Mine Warfare Techniques. What we did was really farked up, caused a lot of damage and pissed off a lot of people. I was an American kid living in Central America I was never so scared in my life of going to jail. The police jerked my chain and jerked it hard and I was crying like a two year old girl but what those detectives did put me on the straight and narrow.

Bah..I got barred from three for wearing a flat cap. Yes a flat cap!

The third pub told me to take it off, I said no on the grounds other people in the pub were wearing different hats.

I heard that a pub in New Malden that banned hats to keep out the chavs, they had to bar a pensioner who had been drinking there for decades because he wouldn't follow their stupid rules

The working mens club which drink very often banned a pensioner who is also a war veteran because he refused to take his trilby off. But he was reinstated a few weeks later after a petition of over a 100 members to the committee.

Open carry

I've run into a few puffy cops, but for the most part they leave you alone where I live.

Can't say I have, although I did get asked to 'Move along' by a copper with an MP5, although it was just outside the Houses of Parliament and the PM's motorcade was just about to come out.

All those rotten eggs went to waste...

Try that outside the Pentagon with a camera! Been detained on occasion but never booked. Got into a frackus at a gun show once years ago where I was on the door (armed) and two plainclothes ATF agents entered, obvious by their body English alone, in search of show venders doing illegal sales. Apparently it is illegal to address them loudly: "Good Morning Officers welcome to the show" over the PA system...after the initial onset it became obvious that the armed venders and myself and our in-house sheriff's deputies outnumbered them and they left to stalk elsewhere. I later ended up guarding the Federal Building they emanated from and we all had a laugh! My job there was to make sure no one parked a rental truck on the street outside as in Oklahoma...or took pictures...

I was arrested twice when I was in the military.

The first time it was due to a mistake LE made. Since I knew I was totally innocent and could easily prove it, I found being arrested a pretty interesting experience. After all, with a good law-abiding troop like me, what are my chances of ever being arrested again? Right?

The second time it was when I "activated an intrusion detection system on a Priority A resource". Priority A resources usually have those lethal force is encouraged signs. (gulp)

Note to self: Failure to follow ALL procedures for securing/opening an area WILLresult in the alarm being activated.

It took the military about two weeks to determine whether I was a threat to national security or just a maroon, despite overwhelming evidence.

The military has no sense of humour when it comes to Priority A areas.

That was also an "interesting experience" but not as enjoyable as the first.

CaptainMattJ. · 08-25-13, 03:03 PM

No, but ive been caught with a small amount of weed and a glass pipe. He made me stomp out both and sent me on my way.

MattD · 08-25-13, 03:54 PM

Yeah - in England and have been 2 or 3 times depending if you count being 'de-arrested' as an arrest.

First time was when I was in the Army - 19 and got into a bit of bother and ended up getting 7 days in the guard room. Plenty of doubling and marching and 'discipline' from the MPs and time to think of the errors of my ways. Decided I definitely didn't want to go back and I didn't. Even got promoted a year later and did 6 years in the end.

Finished in the army over a year now but got arrested twice since - both after nights out on the beer. First time got into a row with a bouncer at a nightclub who wouldn't let me in. Was on a stag weekend and I was the only one he wouldn't let in. Police came and got me away from the bouncer and then cuffed me and put me in the back of the car. After a few minutes they gave me a bit of a talking to and asked me where I was staying and they brought me back to the hotel. Told me I was being 'de-arrested' and told me if I didn't go in they would take me to the station. Got out of the back of the car and they started taking off the cuffs when another group coming back to the hotel saw them taking off the cuffs and they started asking what I had done.

Then a few weeks ago got arrested again fro drunk and disorderly. Was taking a piss and got caught. Heard a woman's voice saying put it away and turned around to find 2 cops. They asked me my name and I started saying have you nothing better to be doing. Probably not a good idea and got handcuffed straight away. Got walked down a busy street to a waiting van and put in the cage in the back of the van and brought to the cellblock for the night. Must have gone asleep straight off and woke up about 7 but it was nearly 9 before I got breakfast (beans and sausages) and they took me out of the cell to get photographed and fingerprinted (a bit over the top) for taking a piss and now I have on the database. I ended up getting a penalty notice and a fine there and then so at least I didn't have to go to court.

I know I was stupid as I have applications in for both the police and the prison service as police is the job I wanted to do since I was a kid but will probably be hard to get that now but hopefully I still have a chance. Think I have a better chance with the Prison Service now.
