How many times have you been arrested?

[Mr. Fresh]

Never.

[dazzleman]

Never.

Well then it's about time you found a way to get yourself arrested.  Everybody should have at least one brush with the law.

[English]

Never.
I threw a traffic cone at someone once while drunk. Unfortunately a copper was walking around the corner at the time! Was let off with a caution.

[Gabu]

I haven't ever been arrested.  I'm too lazy to get in trouble with the law.

[Mr. Fresh]

Well I've had some friends that if I were to spend enough time with, I certainly would have had problems...It's just I was never really that rebel type, never wanted to be.

Oddly enough, I'm the exact same way.  I have a friend who hangs around with a bunch of, er, interesting character; their favorite pastime is getting stoned and drunk enough that they puke.

I've had a few friends like that, the ones I was talking about are the types that fill a bucket full of dog crap, mix it with water and go have fun with that on the neighbor's house.  Or kill a bunch of jack rabbits and put upwards of 20-30 on people's lawn for Easter.  Then there's the classic of locking all the teachers in the library by roping up the two doors...that sort of stuff. 

[Huckleberry Finn]

Wow. I'm among those very few forum members who have had brushes with the law! A vast majority of us seem to be law-abiding citizens. On the other hand most of them are just kids.

I've been convicted of second degree murder, but I got off cause I'm rich.

I love arrest stories.  I have never been arrested, though I have had a couple of close brushes, and of course I've had a few speeding tickets.

My closest brush involved the time I went drinking with a buddy of mine, and we got into a mock fight in the parking lot when we left the place.  Somebody must have thought we were serious and called the cops.  My friend left and I was pulling out of the place when a cop pulled in and signaled for me to pull over.  He asked me to wait while he investigated a call they had gotten.

A short time later, he let me go.  My real concern was not the fight, which was clearly not serious, but the possibility that I may have been over the legal BAC limit.  My driving record was not great to begin with at that time - I had just been to court for my second speeding ticket within a short space of time - and I didn't need more trouble.  Luckily, nothing happened.

That same friend got arrested once for driving a moped the wrong way up a one-way street and zig-zagging between cars.

I used to like engaging a little bit in drunken and disorderly conduct, and I liked to do things like knock over, bend, or otherwise damage signs.  Another thing I used to do is go out driving with a couple of friends late at night, and deliberately go the wrong way up one way street, running red lights and stop signs.  I could still do it now, under the right conditions.

NYM90 - Your football game story reminds me of something that happened to a couple of friends in high school.  They were caught at the heinous crime of throwing soda cans at a football game.  The following Monday, the dean made a whole announcement to the school about how such idiotic behavior would not be tolerated.  They were given a whole week of after-school detention, plus a Saturday detention.  It was pretty funny.

StatesRights - I want to hear your arrest stories.

Yeah, I was throwing marshmallows at some of my friends. Got ejected and given a $50 civil infraction...that seemed pretty bogus to me.

I guess it was a bit much, but if that's the worst legal trouble you ever have, you're pretty lucky.  Real legal problems are no fun.

George W Bush has been arrested 3 times.  Do you have him beat?

definitely.  but cheney has me, and George, bested for DWI convictions, though.  He has three, and I think Bush has one.

Scariest arrest was in the third world.  You do not want to see the inside of a Latin American jail, my friends.  Luckily, their officials are more open to "negotiation" than ours.

[badnarikin04]

Zero.

Shocker, huh?

The closest brush with the law I've had was one night I was using 1-800-COLLECT to make prank phone calls and costing people money because I swore it was an emergency.  They threated to call the cops.  I was 9 so I was scared to death.

I've gotten in trouble in school many times, mostly for gambling and violence.

[Beaver]

Zero!

I've never been caught.  I did spend a few days in college ducking a subpoena that might have been issued.

Nobody asked me why.  :-(

I'd love to hear why.  It seems the people on here with potentially the most interesting stories are holding them back.

[chadnat1019]

A candidate who lost the area where I was working fairly badly, larger by the margin of the vote in the election.  He though I had fixed the election somehow.

I didn't, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction.  I'd worked the area for months.  I'm not sure if he was looking for me, but I wasn't going to take any chances. 

It was a county wide race and ended up in the State Supreme Court.  2000 was giving me flashbacks to college.  :-)

And I was expecting to hear a story involving some type of drunken debauchery....well, it's better than anything I have.  The best I can come up with is speeding tickets, though I have some friends who could tell some interesting stories.  I did some things that I could have been arrested for, but I was pretty good at avoiding getting caught.

I don't think I know anybody who has been arrested for anything serious.  Some of my friends were regulars in traffic court, and I know a few people who got arrested for alcohol and drug related offenses, but I don't know anybody well who was ever sentenced to anything worse than some hours of community service.  The worst legal penalties I've ever incurred have been (repeated) fines for speeding.  What a boring life I've led...
