Have you ever been arrested?

So benji and I were discussing how many people on the chat/ forum have been arrested?

Personally I haven't, my only police run ins have been speeding, a breathalyzer (0.0) and talking to them when I was underage/ at parties, and they didn't care.

Anyways, I know several of you have been arrested and probably have a decent story, so fill us in.

Never been arrested.  Only ticketed once, for fishing without a license.

never been arrested, but was ticketed for operating a snowmobile not carrying a safety card and a warning for running a stop sign.

I'm expecting a bunch of 'cops suck' stories.

DUI back in 91'.  400 hours of community service, $1000 fine, 1 year revocation of my license, and 1 year probation. Got a "hangin judge" that got voted into office on his hard nose DUI stance with mandatory jail time. Only reason I was shown any mercy was because my dad was a cop and the prosecuting attorney said I would be at risk if put into general population. Pretty much put my plans on entering the criminal justice system on the right side to a screeching halt.

Man that would blow.  Thats what I'm real scared of right now, is not thinking and doing something stupid.  All of my schooling would be wasted.

detained for questioning.

Never arrested, cited for speeding twice, underage drinking once, and public urination once.

I was detained and released to my parents when I was 14 for the crime of playing paintball with the car behind us on a busy 4 lane street during rush hour.  In my defense, i was just throwing paintballs out of the sunroof to hit the car behind us, which was filled with friends following us to the field.  they are the morons who actually got out markers and started returning fire, as 2 cops were driving past us going the other way. 

I also had a small bottle of absinthe seized in at Miami International.  Apparently, according to the customs agents, "This is that new date rape drug they are talking about."  luckily, they just confiscated it from me as a minor possession and there were no charges filed, also luckily they didnt find the cigars. 

Being respectful to law enforcement officers can get you a long way.

However, it didnt get me out of a 67 in a 45 speeding violation, but it did get knocked down to 55

Worst that ever happened to me was being pulled over twice.

First time: A warning for loud music + one of two license plate lights broken.

Second time: Nothing at all for test driving a car with no license plate on it (salesman forgot to put it on).
