Nobody fucked with me in the holding cell, because I was bespectacled, nerdy, tiny, and visibly not at all nervous, because I knew I didn't do anything. I should have been a lot more nervous, in retrospect.
The 50-ish dude I spent the night in the cell with was terrified, and kept commenting on how cool I was acting. "You seem like you've done this before." "No, first time." Poor bastard had a blood-soaked bandage on his ear, way up high on it, where his ex wife had taken a bite out of it, Tyson-style. Apparently there was a domestic disturbance call, and they arrested the guy covered in blood and let the biter go. Granted, I only heard his side of the story.

Anyway, the main thing I took away from this was that if the cops ask you a question, don't fucking answer it.

It involved the Poll Tax.
1) Attended 'that' Poll Tax protest - Not Arrested.2) Did not pay the poll tax *until* the day it was announced that it was to be abolished - £50 fine.
For some time after, all official forms that had the section "Prior Convictions" would specifically exclude Parking Violations and PollTax files.

yes, police get incriminating evidence before they arrest you, then they read you your rights

God, Tuomas reminded me that I camped out in my college library one night, with a few other people. Somehow we had found a boiler room that no one ever locked, so we packed bags with pillows and some food and cards, and hid in the utility room until it sounded like the janitors, etc, had gone. We didn't turn on any lights cos the whole place was windowed, ended up sleeping really uncomfortably on little reading couches and etc. Fun, though.

does public sex count?
― Aqua Backrat (ENBB), Tuesday, 27 April 2010 07:35 (fourteen years ago) link
If you get caught by the police I'm sure they'd arrest you, so I'd say it does count.

I was once in a room where white people were smoking weed while listening to a Bob Marley compilation album. That kind of self conscious early 90's proto hipsterism should have been illegal.
I hate to bear this news but this didn't die in the 90s

Arrested and charged with a felony after fighting with a cop and injuring him on the street in the aftermath of a bar brawl. Spent a little time in the cooler, but ultimately plead down to a misdemeanor. This was 15 years ago, and it still pops up on background checks. Ive had some serious explaining to do to potential employers.

Oh god, I totally forgot that I had a 17-year-old girlfriend when I was 21. I wonder how illegal that was?

Now that I think about it, I have driven drunk on two occasions; I don't know if that's more illegal than shipping fireworks to CA, but it's less defensible.

Nothing much--just some soft drug use and oral sex on men and women (illegal in Florida at the time).

I had a phase where making rent was tough so I stole quite a lot of groceries. And also a bottle of jack once. Never ever caught, white privilege.
