Arrested - Page 3

Humans and animals are very close. My dad has two dogs Boo & Chip. Chip loves me, he follows me everywhere, even the toilet, he

sits on my knee and sleeps. He brings me the paper too. My old man can't understand it, I can, we are tuned to the same wave length. He likes me and I like him. I might get a wee dog for company and to fetch my paper.

Mine was for urinating in a shop doorway. And then trying to take a drunken swing at one of the cops. In my defence, at the time, I was also a immature eighteen year old with more testosterone than was good for him. I recall the cops as being very patient with my boorish behaviour.

Not yet. I've performed most of my stupidest acts without too many witnesses.

I've only been questioned by detectives once around 19. Some young woman was raped at a party my former roommates were throwing while I was away at a school function. The victim didn't know the guys who assaulted her. One of the bad guys and I had a common (at that time) first name and my name was on the lease. So I got finger printed and photographed when I got back.

Other than being immediately cleared, I really don't know the outcome of the situation. The two guys I roomed with claimed they didn't know the victim or who brought her to their party or the guys who did this. Their story was they didn't realize anything even happened until the next morning when the police arrived. I was pissed that they threw a party where anything like this could have happened.

I moved out the next day. Haven't had a roommate since.

I had a pm from a member who was hassled by a former law student. This thread like all my threads are light hearted be fair and have a laugh as well as admit we were bad boys and girls.

Never been arrested myself, nor even gotten into trouble with the police.

I did have a swat team pass through my room once when i was a kid.
At like 5 AM. They were tracking an escaped criminal who was hiding on one of the roofs closeby and they asked my parents if they could go through my window to get on our roof. But it had snowed and the ledge was too slippery and risky, so they went back and let the criminal freeze a bit so they could pick him off easily.

Kinda impressive to wake up and see guys with SMG's walking next to my bed, though.

Theft, Driving with Excess Alcahol, Driving without Insurance, regret them all.

Have I learnt from them?

Yes.

Admit nothing - our Constabulary are too busy, or too lazy, to investigate, and admitting Guilt lets them get a result with minimal effort.

In 1994, I was walking home, after visiting my family. I'd almost made it back to my building, and was about to cross the final road, when a police car came careering round the corner at high speed. It screeched to a halt in front of me, and a policeman jumped out. Before I knew what was going on, I was under arrest.

I was put into the police car and driven to another part of the estate, where there had apparently been a burglary. Other officers were waiting there, along with some witnesses who'd seen the burglars running away from the house that had been broken into.

The witnesses were brought over to the car, where they had a quick look at me, before confirming that I wasn't one of the burglars. I was immediately de-arrested, and allowed to go on my way.

Yes, it's a very dull story. The bit I remember the most - even more than the shock of being arrested, which quickly passed - was that I was very nearly home when I was arrested (actually within sight of my building), but was then driven right the way across the estate, so that the witnesses could look me over. When the police let me go, I had to walk a hell of a long way to get home.

I made an almost identical experience, except it was a pitch black night and they were looking for a peeping Tom. And the witness (a hysterical underage girl) claimed it was me. The cops tried to bully me into confessing but my replies were as bold as their threats. I feared they would beat me up but they didn´t. In the end the judge dropped the whole affair because of insufficient suspicion. And no, I do not creep up on bedroom windows in the middle of the night!

Not arrested but questioned - in 1987 I lived in a pretty average part of Western Sydney (and used to get ribbed about being a Westie etc). To go to the pictures I had to pass this pretty ordinary pub. So on half price Tuesday I am on the way home from Beverly Hills Cop 2 I think and saw there was a bit of a ruckus outside the pub so quietly went around the side and someone said Stop but I figured there were a few rough types there and may get the sh*t beaten out of me if I stopped so I kept walking and the next time it was F*(king STOP! so I did. Undercover cop said did you just come out of the pub and I said No I have been to the flicks to which he replied what did I see and I said Beverly Hills Cop. He seemed OK with that - You definitely hadn't come out of the pub? - I may have said No it was a sh*thole - which it was. He then said Next time someone tells you to stop do so, now f*ck off, I don't want to see you again - to which I did.

Been breathalysed a few times, pulled up coming home wearing a tux twice probably because they thought I might have had a few and 1 speeding ticket and got stitched up on going through a red light turning right when the bulb was dead ($346 fine! Ouch) is a pretty thin rap sheet.
