i got a DUI a long time ago. well actually, i didn't get a DUI a long time ago. but i did get arrested and put in a drunk tank

i had been at work all day delivering papa johns pizza. and before that i'd had band practice. it was like 1130 and i met a bunch of people at a bar for my friends birthday. i literally didn't drink anything because i was too tired. i left after like 30 minutes

it was raining

about 100 literal, actual feet from my house, my stupid little yaris, the back wheel slid off the road just a tiny bit which, because it was raining and the road was stupidly narrow and okay anyway enough excuses i guess i screwed up anyway the car got like... just barely stuck with one wheel in the ditch

i had good insurance and whatever so i just needed to get pulled out, i called for a truck

luckily a cop happened by. what a good turn of events

i passed the field sobriety test.. but he arrested me anyway. because i was wearing prescription sunglasses

i told him they were presciption... lmao... he was dumb enough to say that's why he arrested me, in the car. i go

:v: okay but like, no, for actual real, why'd u arrest me
:cop: cause you were waring sunglasses

later on a got a public defender... i kept showing up to court and the prosecturo kept not being there or "not being ready". this was probs because i kept not taking the "deal" of pleading guilty. since again i was liteally sober haha.

eventually they just dropped it completely. i didn't have to pay nothing. i never found out exactly why but it was not long after my public defender got a copy of the field sobriety test and the audio from in the car where he says "because of the sunglasses" which had been "missing" for a while. haha

there was some other malfeasance as well... they had kept me in jail for 3 days without letting me call anyone and after the first day they'd stopped bringing me food or, indeed, checking on me in anyway at all... i suspect they had de facto forgotten i was there lmao... so i just slept a lot.

Some shits so poorly run/funded or whatever that aside from a building they lock people in, there isn't any more functionality accompanying that. I heard guys some guys in county posted bail 1-2 months prior and still hadn't been released because there was nobody in the jail doing any paperwork or processing inmates aside from intake.

Driving back from picking up an oz of weed, I got pulled over and they smelled it. Hadn't smoked anything all day, and I didn't even open the bag, but they smelled it. Goddamn suburban cops with nothing better to do than waste public money hassling people. I had to write a bullshit middle school grade essay about why weed is bad for some bougie sahm to read to get my record expunged.

my dad got arrested for harassing the neighbor next door, who maced him because he felt like my dad was such a threat to him, apparently.

dad refers to the guy with a gay slur and calls him all sorts of horrible things. I 100% totally believe you, dad, that you didn't do nothing wrong.

I got him out of jail so mom wouldn't be alone and because covid.

E: I got a speeding ticket for going 92 in a 55 (IIRC) uphill, against the wind, with shitloads of livestock feed in the back of my minivan. The judge tried to get me to pay them $700+. I argued until I got out of it because I stopped 30-some-odd feet after the cop hit the lights and he pulled up right behind me and the camera proved it. And you can't stop that fast without laying rubber on the ground. Cop's gun said, on the ticket, that it had been calibrated that day but records said it had never been calibrated in three years. Go gently caress yourself lovely little southern Georgia town, you only pulled me because I had out of state plates and you thought I'd pay that ridiculous ticket. Fuckers. I live three hours away and I'd kill for a good argument. I was so happy I got to debate and slap my big dumb file of math and facts and videos out at the court :3:

That has never worked for me. The pigs and the bitches (prosecutor and judges) always kept pushing things back, making you come in 3 times and saying oh wait we don't have this and it's like I have a job, pig, sir.

I've been stopped by pigs while in psychosis on 3 occasions and got taken home once and to the hospital to be billed thousands for nothing twice.

I hope that's behind me.

But if you see someone walking around looking crazy and not wearing shoes, don't loving call the cops.

I'm also a white male, lol. It's just that police in and around the Philadelphia area more or less don't even pretend to be anything but rogue tax collectors, extracting fines from the population without even pretending to care about any other aspect of policing.

I got pulled over once because my ex used to drive my car with an expired license. I pulled onto the shoulder and the cop came up to the window. I had my ID registration and insurance all ready.

He looked at me and said " oh...you're not ex. You can go."

All white people.

The cops here arnt that bad I've been pulled over with a black co-worker who had half a joint on him and the white cop just told him to put it on the ground and stomp on it.

Maybe my whiteness saved him that day

Now old white people are a different story. I've had the cops called on me for playing music too loud in at 1pm and for growing 'weed' on my windowsill. It was herbs. I had to let the cop come in to look at it. He said 'yeah that's not weed sorry' and left.

But ACAB anyway.

one time i almost ran a cop off the road at 3 AM because he was passing me on my right, in my blind spot, on a 2 lane regular road

he pulled me over and was REAL MAD like "YOU ALMOST RAN ME OFF THE drat ROAD GIVE ME YOUR LICENSE BOY"

and i was like drat okay this sucks. i had weed and everything. i was like "poo poo"

so he's running my poo poo and i'm like, just making GBS threads. just pure making GBS threads. metaphorically. and also literally. well, not literally.

but for whatever reason when he comes back he's totally calm and he's just like "okay have a nice night, be careful"

i've never really been able to figure out what happened.... i guess he looked at my record and saw that i was the protagonist so he had to let me go

Just remembered

I had a co-worker get pulled over for riding his bike without a light. Less than a mile and he got a ticket. So he just started walking after that and then got in a scuffle with a buck deer.

Fate had it out for that guy.

It's Hammer Time!
Was pulled over as the driver only once, apparently freaked the gently caress out of the Highway patrolman because I went to grab my registration from the glove box before being asked.

Got pulled back to his truck so he could take a look at my record, turns out they didn't have any records for me past when I was 7 years old and got a passport. Cop found out I worked for the state agency that built their systems and spent about half an hour gushing over it before letting me go with a warning (I was absolutely guilty of speeding , and am also white as hell).

Got pulled over as a passenger once by some dumbass wanna be drill sergeant cop. Detained us for a loving hour despite my buddy consenting for a search and being willing to be breathalyzed. No loving idea what was with that rear end in a top hat, we weren't even speeding, just driving late at night.


The house I rented from my parents got no-knock raided ~10 years ago because my dipshit stepbrother was shooting off guns in-town (while being an ex-con). Town was too small and isolated for police so we had Game Wardens raiding us and waking everyone up at gunpoint. Pretty hosed up situation overall even though nothing really happened to me except having to stand around for 20 minutes in my boxers during winter while they sorted out who was the dumbass they were looking for.

My dad has a good story about an old neighbor getting arrested. It's good hold on.

edit: His memory's pretty shot, this will take a while. I'll be back.

OK, wasn't a neighbor, it was one of his Westie friends that my mom hated. Bobby. Bobby had a neighbor who was a pig and there was some sort of argument over a casserole dish, as in there was a party and Bobby's wife brought a casserole and then Bobby went to retrieve the casserole dish at some point and there was an altercation and the pig arrested Bobby, impounded his car, then released him but had seized his shoes when booking him and didn't return the shoes.

Bobby was pretty connected, as in OC but also that his brother was a DA, so he called his brother up and the pig was promptly fired.

Bobby told the pig that he had to move or he would be killed and the guy moved.

I got arrested in July 2006 for "defiant trespassing" with a bunch of friends in this abandoned church across the street from a party that we were underage-drinking at. Unbeknownst to us, people had been going in there and stealing copper wire, so the penalties for going in there were harsh. :shrug:

I was the only one of us that actually fell asleep in the cell. I used a sneaker as a pillow and let a friend use the other one. The next morning, we were asked if our trespassing had anything to do with drinking, I said no, and we were let go. As a Black person, I was expecting a much more negative outcome.
