Run ins with Authroity?

KontanKarite · 03-13-2008, 01:35 PM

Anyone got any stories with your run ins with the law or authority?

I haven't had many. Actually, most of mine happens because of the way I look.

I remember going back home from Italy and I was pulled out of the line and strip searched because the lady checking the tickets alerted security that I was a suspicious person. I found it kind of funny. They did that to me because I was wearing a brocade suit. But nevermind the guy looking for the cameras, scoping out the positions of security and what not.

Someone called the cops on my friends once because we looked like a gang of people beating each other with clubs. We had a thing for LARPing in random places where we probably shouldn't. Like the parking lots of grocery stores and such.

Me and some friends broke windows at this supposedly haunted house, meh...

Hm, and one time I almost got arrested, expelled from school... because of a fucking rumor, I'll talk about that later.

All I have ever gotten was a few speeding tickets. Everything else I was able to avoid getting caught doing or bat my eyelashes and get out of it.

Stormtrooper of Death · 03-13-2008, 06:41 PM

I've stayed clean so far, so nothing yet. Yes Solumina, batting your "eyelashes".

Solumina · 03-13-2008, 07:03 PM

batting eyelashes, pushing up cleavage same thing, right?

Stormtrooper of Death · 03-13-2008, 07:10 PM

Correct madame.

ForgetThisLostLenore · 03-13-2008, 07:26 PM

I've never been caught

But the closest bit I've had was with one of the awful campus cops. My friends and I decided it would be fun to draw on the concrete wall-thing outside in the front courtyard of the building. Well, about halfway through my doodle, I looked up and there he was, so I just pretended not to see him. My friends grabbed the Sharpie away, and finally he came out and they got sent to the AP for vandalizing school grounds. Not half as bad as some people I knew who got caught smoking weed and drinking. She ended up getting taken to the AP half-stoned and drunk.

I've had a loaded gun pointed more or less in my direction by a sheriff.

We were shooting cans and stuff in a place where we technically should not have been, to say nothing of shooting. Our guns were already back in the boxes and stuff, but they don't take chances when they know you're armed.

I also got picked up once (though again, not technically arrested) for trespassing. Friends and I got pretty well lost on this mountain, and some asshole who owned land up there called it in.

When I was in high school, I actually had a serious problem with stealing- I'm pretty sure it developed from excessive stress or something. On a regular basis, I would steal a considerable wealth of material affects from various outlets, while the generally honest merchants who maintained those stores remained none the wiser. Despite having made off with books, cds, video games, and clothes on more than one occasion, I was eventually apprehended by mall security for stealing a single Jolly Rancher from "Dylan's Candy Bar".
I never stole again after that.

In high school, a friend convinced me to go along with him to fire paintballs from a slingshot at some of the neighborhood kids who had been attacking us lately. They got their wrist rockets and came towards our house, we fired at them, they fired back, we retreated into the house, they kept shooting and so did we, then we just stayed in the house, thinking they would go away. They didn't. One of the kids called his goliath brother over, who half-kicked to door in. My friend got scared and called the cops. My friend tried to say he never fired at them; I couldn't lie. Nobody pressed charges but we all had to pay to get the door fixed. Agreeing to help my friend was probably the stupidest thing I've ever done. I'm still surprised that I wasn't able to lie.

Well, starting from the time I was but a wee fifth-grader, I've had more run-ins than I care to keep track of (but perhaps I'll do a head count once I'm through). When I was in fifth grade, my childhood friend and I got busted for carving on the brick wall at school. When I was in 8th grade, a buddy and I sent an e-mail using another kid's account to the assistant principal calling him a neo-nazi and hitler/mussolini reincarnate (I forgot the exact wording--yes, it was stupid, but it felt...revolutionary at the time since so many kids at that school who didn't fit into the PTA-minivan driving-mom-and-quicksilver-uniform-donning category were bullied by that piece of work--including myself). I've been chased by mall security and school principals/assistant principals for pushing buttons I shouldn't have--in retrospect, I had a fondness for large red buttons behind clear plastic cages. I've been interrogated 3 times, one of which I was forced out of the shower of my own home and taken to an interrogation room where I was forced to amuse myself with cops' stupidity and glaringly obvious facades they use to hide that fact for 4+ hours. No run-ins lately though, but I highly doubt my "last" will truly be my last!

SORE EYES. Shit.... learn to paragraph your words, buddy.

Never been caught yet. Never done anything major. I've fired various different rifles and weapons but never had one pointed at me.

childe · 03-15-2008, 01:16 PM

Only once, thankfully. I was arrested for assault, but they decided not to press charges given the mitigating circumstances.

Beneath the Shadows · 03-15-2008, 01:20 PM

One time when I was living on the streets of New Orleans. I was hanging out with four other people. We were all heading to the French Quarter to try to make some money. Well, one of the guys that I was with had just got into town, so he had all his gear on his back. So we went by one of the other guys' squat so the new guy could drop his gear off. After he came back, we kept walking. Suddenly about a dozen officers surrounded us with guns drawn. And it wasn't just New Orleans police. There were also FBI and DEA agents. Apparently, they thought that the house the one guy used as a squat was a drug house, and the guy who ran in to drop off his gear was picking up drugs to deliver somewhere. Basically, they thought we were drug mules.

Fun stuff.

Fortunately, all they found was a weed pipe.

But we did get a laugh out of it. One of us had a skateboard. So, while we're waiting around for them to run our names, one of the cops tries to do a kickflip... and falls flat on his ass.

LaBelleDameSansMerci · 03-15-2008, 10:35 PM

The only run-in with police I've had was when I was in New York and had to ask for directions to the MoMA. Turns out it was on 5th Avenue, instead of 11th.

ionic_angel · 03-15-2008, 10:42 PM

Well, I once didn't have my registration sticker on my car. I left it in my glove box until I got pulled over.

Yeah, I'm pretty law-abiding. Too much trouble not to be.

raggedyanne · 03-15-2008, 11:18 PM

Ugh. I was walking home from school and "looked suspicious." Looking back, I could have handled the situation better. But according to a friend who was with me, the lecture I gave to the officer on bothering law abiding citizens who were tired, hungry, and harmless was worth the warning for "disturbing the peace"; guess he didn't like my boots.

LaBelleDameSansMerci · 03-15-2008, 11:55 PM

Raggedy, that's hillarious. I hope that if I ever get stopped for "looking suspicious," that I have the guts/mood to give the officer a lecture...

You know what? That's awesome. The police around here do NOT have enough to do - not that I'm wishing for an upswing in crime! - but they go zipping around at all hours, tailgating you, etc. Very annoying.

We all have a past. Some have worse ones than others.

What's important is NOW, and what you do to make tomorrow better.
