I did get arrested once when police came to my place of work to serve a arrest warrant.
Surprised me, the officer arresting me said he could check my prints to confirm but he'd let the jail do it, he didn't want to get his kit out of his trunk.
He took me to the county jail, where I sat for hours to be booked... upon booking they ran my prints and then said they didn't match the warrant.
Someone had been arrested before and booked, and used my name. They told me I was free to go, but no one would give me a ride back to work... I had to walk 12 miles or so back to get my truck from my work parking lot.
Then I had to fight for years to get my prints out of the system as I had no convictions they should not be allowed to keep them. They claim they are, but the only way I'd know for sure if if I commit a crime and leave them at the scene.
No apologizes no nothing, just told that police have the right to do that, even hold us for a time with no charges, forget what it was...24 or 48 hours, as I never got booked... arrested at 4pm and let go 10 pm, to start my walk back home.
I'm not a police fan by any means but I certainly don't agree with defund the police, an officer just made a lazy mistake based on an tip that said this is where they could find me and they did their job. He should of just ran it there on the spot, in fact the police for that city said they would train him again and put a policy in place that they should start printing them before taking to the jail.

Yes. I think four times all together. I never went to prison or even spent a whole night in jail. All but one were when I was in my teens and early 20s. Two of those were for smoking weed. On one of those times, I was released with no charges.
Another time was for something my friends and I did that was kind of fucked up (It didn't involve violence or destruction of property). I don't want to talk about it, but we deserved to get arrested. I paid penalties and served community service and probation for that when I was 18. I'm grateful that they didn't give me jail time. I learned my lesson. That record has been expunged.
The fourth time was over ten years old for crashing my car when I was DUI. No other cars or people were involved. That one was fucked up because I rarely drink and I know better than to drive when I do. It was a unique situation. But it was my fault and I deserved the costly punishment.
Not arrested, but I was detained until the matter was resolved. An embarrassing scene for the poor rookie police officer.
Here's my story & I'm sticking to it 🤨

I haven’t but once I went to Walmart with a friend and I didn’t know she was stealing and she got caught so we both got taken to the back. They said I was a decoy and I didn’t even know what that was at the time. They called the police and her parents picked her up. I had to go home in the back of a police car because my parents were still at work.
Yeah a few times.
erm, fighting, drunk, trespassing,
Lots little things.
we have cautions in the UK, so a few of those for the above and getting caught having sex outsideSure have for stupid reasons
Yes many times, I would not get a drivers licence. Well they had enough playing with my ass. They gave me one last chance to get my DL or I was going to jail for 3 years. I got my DL two weeks later.
I never had a drunk driving or anything stupid. I just would not go get them4-5 times, all for either unpaid traffic tickets or suspended license.
No. The only time I was un a police car was in the front seat when a bus I was on broke down and we needed to get into a hotel for thr night. A police officer took some of us. I didn't ride in the back seat because it was decided I was the least likely to need to experience it. I was voted the least likely to ever be there.
Nope but I once spent time in a police station when I got lost in a foreign country and needed food and water until my parents could locate me.
Not as such but, I came close, twice. Apparently there's some poor slob around here that looks just like me!! 6' 9", long pony tail, several missing teeth. Yeah, I'm sure there's a LOT of guys around here that fit that bill!!
One close call for trespassing but managed to get myself out of it.
There were times when I got in trouble for political reasons. Thankfully I was never arrested lol.
no- but i had 2 speeding tickets at different times over the years
I had an unpaid traffic ticket come back to bite me.
Yes, I've once been arrested for trespassing, during a protest
Like you, I came close a couple of times.
I like to think that my personality kept me out of cuffs.Yes, I've been detained, and even beaten by the police.
Nope, I don't risk and always prevent fellas from illegal activities, so they know to not pry on me in case some bad ideas come to their minds.
Nope! Hope I never am.
Nope. Mom wanted me to get in trouble at least once though
I guess it’s true white people do get arrested. I haven’t been arrested but I’ve been profiled and had the cops called on me for being black over 10 times
Yes, for multiple accounts of manslaughter and second degree murder
