I've never been arrested but I have been served before for a court case. I sued a neighbor for something and they counter-sued. etc.

That is a civil case and not criminal. So did you win?

Me and a bunch of classmates were withheld after school by the police, who claimed we had been littering. It's true there was litter, but all the people they withheld weren't the people who did the littering (me included).

Fortunately, one of my friends called his mom who called the mayor who had the whole thing called off. After all, even if we were the culprits, there was no proof that we had done it, as they had merely caught us going out of school in a place that had been littered during the lunch period (three hours earlier, so they were three hours late).

Does that count as arrested?

I've only arrested once and wasn't charged, it was for incitement to riot, organizing an ileagal demonstration, incitement to assault, incitement to destroy property, resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer. There were a few other things but I forget.

I've been cautioned for:
-attending an ileagal demonstration
-obscenity
-assault and battery
-being drunken and disordely
-refusal to disperse
-7th picketing
-loitering
-loitering with intent

I also can't go to the United States of America for various reasons (none of which are to do with drugs)

Here's a hint: if you've been fingerprinted before OTHER than your background check when you apply to be a teacher... or unless you have a military clearance... your chances of becoming a teacher are vanishingly small.

Moral is, don't get arrested until AFTER you've got your license! ;)

I spent two nights in jail for DWI, felony Leaving the Scene of an Accident (which got dropped, thank god), and possession of an illicit substance (I had a freaking roach in my ashtray; and I don't even smoke! :upyours: ).

Only later did I find out that I'd also been charged with resisting arrest, which is funny because I was as docile as a newborn pup with the coppers, not to mention fully compliant and ready to take responsibility for my actions.

And no, I have no booking photo that I can upload, and I wouldn't submit it if I did; it's the face of a frightened little boy who knows he's just about to get his rectum fingered. Not pretty.

I was arrested last year - the police still have not told me exactly what they arrested me for.

But basically someone said I'd sent an e-mail from their account. They didn't have a copy of the e-mail, just someone's word.


So Sunday morning 9M 2 BIG BURLY COPS CAME SEARCHED MY HOUSE AND CAR AND ARRESTED ME. oops sorry about the caps. Then they falsified my custody record and questioned me, kept me for 5 hours and bailed me.

two weeks later they decided it was not in the public interest to proceed.

They did not tell you what you were arrested for? Did they have a search warrant? How did they falsify your custody record? This all sounds very strange, have you talked to an attorney about any rights broken here? I believe they can keep you for a certain period of time and not technically arrest you.

in a word; no. not because there are any guarantees in real life.
but there are probabilities, and so far, my reasonably good sense has kept me out of trouble. geting into trouble by ignoring the statistical nature of reality is something i got pretty much out of my system when i was in grade school.

Nearly, and was given a fine, for going the wrong way down a one-way street on my bicycle at 3 in the morning when there was absolutely no traffic on the road, and it was too dark to see the signs.

*SIGHS*

Especially ridiculous because the police officer could obviously see a fairly messy scuffle going on and blatently didn't want to get involved in that, so was looking for an excuse to give someone a good talking-to until it was over.

Seriously, no. The closest I've ever come is being pulled over on my bike by a sheriff and told to be more careful when crossing the street.

I'm in the UK. A couple of years ago the law was changed, the police can now arrest you for ANYTHING - they just have to justify it afterwards.

My custody record said I had no illnesses and had not taken medication - I'm disabled - i walk with a stick and a hell of a limp. I also took prescription medication in front of them (they got me the water to wash it down), they are supposed to call a doctor before they allow you to take medication.

Oh and surprise surprise the CCTV in the custody suite - the video tapes are blank - ALL OF THEM and this is the force that claims it has the most sophisticated CCTV system in the UK.

Can you tell I'm bitter - oh and yes I do have a solicitor - a specialist in human rights.

Yes I was arrested, not just questiond but arrested, DNA tested, finger printed etc, etc - and i can't get the DNA off the criminal data base.
