Have most men been arrested at some point in their lives?

Question

Or is that just most men that I know? 🤔😂

I was arrested once falsely lol. it was like 2004 or 2005 and me and a bunch of friends were all drinking and talking and such. two of my friends went out to their car to leave. i walked them out and after trying to walk back i notice a cop suddenly following behind me. then they flash their lights and handcuff me and placed me in the back of the police car.

The other cop went to talk to my friends in the house and luckily the cops realized they messed up and got the wrong guy and let me go lol.

anyways yeah men are definitely arrested far far more than women thats for sure.

No, it's the exception rather than the rule. Of course, if you live in certain places, it's going to seem FAR more common than if you live in other places. But if you look at overall statistics, it's definitely the exception.

Okay, I chose A for the simple fact that a lot of guys get arrested for public intoxication when they are young and dumb. Also in the US military, if there is a domestic disturbance, the man immediately goes to a holding cell, or arrested for the night, no questions asked, so that can take a lot of men to jaiil that normally would just be given a warning, or sorted out in the driveway with a mediator, and I'm not talking about hard-core domestic abuse. I'm just talking about domestic disturbances. That can be a fight with the neighbors, or with their loved one that isn't completely out of control.

If you want to go deeper and talk about felons, or felony arrests, that is probably the men you know. While men have a higher probability to commit felonies, it is not as common as a misdemeanor like public intoxication. Those are just slaps on the wrist. If you know a lot of men with felony charges, that isn't normal, and you should probably find a new social circle or area to live in.

Now, I'm not saying felons can't come out of prison and be reformed. What I AM saying is that 5 - 10 felons who came out of the big house have a HIGHER probability of going back to their old ways, than say 1 or 2. That's not their fault though. That is the justice system, and for profit prisons. It's a disgrace those places even exist. Even Norway has a better prison system than the US. They have reformed murderers back into their society because their way of rehabilitating is so much better than here. It's sad honestly.

Just some things to think about. I hope you stay safe, and find whatever you are looking for!! Take care!!

No never been arrested in my life i did grow up in the hood so they put us on the curb a lot then let us go or once they threw me out of a car and threw me agaisnt a fence and then the ground and back to the car cause they really thought they had a drug bust from a gang unit lol when i was 16 and my homie was 14 driving without a license, they found nothing but condoms on us and let us go lol

and i had a few run ins growing up a lot with the local police and when i got into a fight their was reports made cause i did that other dude cold and whooped him bad lol he should not have been tryna bully my little brother. Other then that never got arrested in my life. I do have people i grew up with still locked up for murders and stupid stuff and a few who got three strikes. But that was never me and i left that town. Growing up my experience with the police never left a bad taste in my mouth. So no i don't think its normal for most men to have been arrested unless they're doing something real stupid.

I wouldn’t think so. It’s been a while for me, but I’ll catch a case every now and again, or at least I did in my younger days. I’m not in those kinds of positions anymore, usually. Mutually consensual fist fighting should be 100% legal, let me just take this opportunity to say😂 I really don’t think of myself as a “criminal”, that feels like a harsh label for unarmed fighting, lmao. But anyway, whatever for all that…so, in my circle of friends, just over the years (my current friends are soft as fuck and have never been arrested, they think I’m a wild man lmfao)…I don’t know, maybe like a third have been arrested? I hung out with a rowdier crowd back in the day, they’re carrying all the weight. I’d wager that most men on average do not get arrested, but more than 1-in-10. I feel like a lot of people get arrested for vehicular stuff that need to be accounted for, too, like DUI, suspended licenses, etc, not just violent crime or property crimes.

I was in the back of police cars probably 5 times as a teenager. Mostly they would just take my driver's license away for 24 hours, or give me a lecture, or drive me to my older brother's house and drop me off.
One time they searched me in traffic with my hands on my car, they thought I was someone else. The cop didn't say sorry or anything, he just gave me a dirty look and seemed pissed off.
Years later I got a job at the police station working as a guard. Sometimes I felt like I was in jail too. The prisoners got to sleep while I had to sit there and struggle to stay awake.

Stoner710 · Answer

I’ve never been arrested in my life and don’t plan to I’ve had several friends who have been arrested in there lives, so I don't know about most men but I can think of about

Lliam · Answer

I have. Once for an escapade that I don't care to go into, and two times for weed.
I've only ever spent a few hours in jail, though, never overnight. I never got sentenced to any time in jail/prison and all my infractions have been expunged and are no longer on my record.
All that happened in my late teens/early 20s.

Wsx2wsx2ws · Answer

Well my X tried her damnedest to have me arrested. She threw everything she had at me. Some major charges too, I kid you not.
Ends up while at work (at the time) I was the only one out of 58 men who had not been to jail. Well I should have accepted a minor accusation and joined the crowd.

DryGermanGuy · Answer

I only knew one guy in that particular regard, and technically he was detained, not arrested. He got himself into a silly drunken fight at some festival and was released the next day. Still it cost him some 1000 bucks after all the bureaucracy was settled.

JustinTheGreat · Answer

I’ve been arrested once lol.
I got into a fight with someone and a cop drove by while it was happening. He pressed charges on me for assault and I ended up going to jail for like 6 hours. I had to go to court dates for two years, and he never showed up to a single one so they dropped the charges

I know a couple other guys and a girl who have also been arrested

EarthRealm · Answer

I was Put in jail at 18 for a few hours and then was bailed out by somebody with money 💴 that works for the police department.
but I did what I did because the person was An Abusive Individual.
I won the court Case and Didn’t get an consequences or nothing.
Just 1 year of Probation which isn’t a consequence.

Spiritofn · Answer

I don't know. I have lots. I gotten away with stuff I shouldn’t have and usually stupid stuff I had no biz getting arrested for I did get arrested anyway, however the universe unfolded there I suppose. Probably been arrested 6 times. Spent the night in drunk tank once & then the cells in holding for questioning once when I went to a party on holiday and it ended up being a drug bust.

MCheetah · Answer

Both option B and D. I could even accuse you of being 'sexist' for even saying this.
I've never been arrested before, not even wrongfully, and I'm a non-rich black American. That in itself should be an achievement (talking about wrongful arrests, not the crime, though take it however you wish).

I have never been arrested,
But I went to police station hell lot of times, sometimes to report crime, 😅
