have you ever been arrested?

[Shanty]

Yes. A few times. Some for pickets lines. A few for drunken antics.

Not arrested, but interrogated

When I was 13, I got caught driving my Dads car to Jack In The Box, after midnite. The cop who pulled me over handcuffed me, put me in the back of the police car and drove around the neighborhood lecturing me and threatening to take me to jail for what seemed like forever. I was so scared, I thought I would piss in my pants.


As it turned out, the cop was a friend of my Dads, and was really cool because he didn't tell on me. When he took me home, took off the cuffs and let me out, my Dads car was back in the driveway, his partner had driven the car back and parked it and left the keys in the mailbox.

Trust me, I never drove again until I got my permit 4 years later. I told my Dad that story 30 years later.

This was in 1968, and of course it wouldn't go down like that in today's world....if the same thing happened now, the cop probably would have shot me and told the news reporters that I had a gun, and the car was stolen....lol.

You were likely respectful to the Officer, so he cut you a break.

Today 90% of police would still likely not arrest you, but they should & would tell your parents.

The media sensationalizes the bad 1% of of police who beat & kill cuffed suspects.

Today the body cams are keeping the police & politicians more honest.

There are plenty of people I would like to arrest...^^^^^^^

Not when you realize just how much paperwork is involved.

It takes ALL the fun out of it

No but I have been certified and dragged to a psych ward, which is the same thing, except worse. At least some convicts walk with that swagger that I like. On a psych ward it was all lunatics.

 

[playtime]

No, but I got pulled over at 3AM one morning. I was shit faced drunk and had an ounce in my glove box. All I could think was I'm going to jail. Rolled down the window and it was a deputy sheriff who happened to be my neighbor and I played on a rec league basketball team he sponsored. He said Blood what are you doing out here this time of morning? I said I'm going home. He said you passed your house about 3 miles back. Now turn around and follow me. When I flash my blue lights...that's your house. Get to bed and sober up. We have a game tonight. He was murdered a week later.

terrible .....
