Cells are no fun in any way shape or form.

Sorry, but i was in one briefly on a trumped up charge and it changes your view of the world. Carry on.

Getting arrested was on my bucket list when I was a teenager but I've since aged and gained some maturity.


Not matured a lot, mind you. But enough to know I'm all set with being arrested.

I have a cousin, he was jailed for over a year I think.

The stories! And then all the issues he had with his parole officer ...

He worked on AC systems, so had giant knives to cut ductwork...but was not allowed to have a tiny pocketknife.

(We wasn't arrested for a violent crime BTW )

I've never been and don't want to go! I know a lot of people do for stuff they should not have.

I've never been arrested but maybe should have been a few times lol
Outran them once in a '80 camaro in town, not faster just lucky in my duck and cover. Another time in a '83 subaru wagon, not faster either lol but smaller and the 4wheel drive sure helped on that atv trail.
Did get caught once in a dirt bike, can't get away when you run out of gas....
No arrest though, just tickets and fine$$$ so steep I had to sell it.
Sure glad I grew up, well mostly kinda sorta

I had an uncle that was in trouble with the law most of his life. Just functional illiterates who didn't know any better.

He finally wound up in prison. Escaped. Nobody ever came looking for him. Nobody ever knew why.

I can remember my mom telling me about him beating his two sons with a broom stick when he found out they had robbed a gas station. I said good for him, he didn't want them following in his footprints. No, my mom told me. They wouldn't share the money with him. True stories, I swear it!

That branch of the family tree is gone now but they were always good for entertainment.

Sometimes y'just gotta remind yourself that you have to stay in the deeper end of the gene pool.

My uncle was town marshal in Wisconsin... we where taught to tow the line early but
stand up for yourself when needed never lie

 

[Beer can]

Yup, never lie, does no good.
I've many funny stories of being pulled over and let go without a ticket. Almost every single LEO I've met when I've been 'bad' has been decent people. Even the only one that did give me the only speeding ticket I've had I thanked and said have a nice night
