Have you ever been arrested for something silly?

[Anonymous]

I'll start. I was arrested for climbing a tree and trying to poop on a nest of birds.

Wow , pooping on a nest of birds. I bet the cops are still talking about that one.
I have never been arrested but once I was taking the train and in the station you have to put a quarter into the turnstile to leave. I put in the quarter but the turnstile would not let my through. I just hopped over it. A cop saw me and grabbed me. I told him that I put the quarter in but the machine was jammed. He got a guy to come over and unlock the machine and they found my quarter in there so the cop let me go,

Well I'm glad the cop listened and not just decided "yeah that's what they all say".

Thanks for the MHO😎

Technically I was only arrested once.

For having a government vehicle parked out side my house... I got charge with misuse of a government property for having it outside my while I was dropping off luggage at my house while returning form official travel.

[Asker]

Man, while I get that wasn't intentional. But that's kind of taking gov't waste to an extreme. 😆

[DaveJord]

Yeah it got thrown out... but I was technically arrested... it not like they cuffed me and took me to jail or anything, was a mini van, not a tank or something... lol

Some 20 year old Military Policemen, just full of the first little piece of authority he probably ever had in life. I flew in at 2 am... dropped my luggage at the house, post was like 30 minutes away and I was exhausted. So laid out on my couch still in uniform for a quick nap... by 4 am he was knocking on my door.

[Asker]

Oh military, say no more. Lol
I worked just outside a military base and LOVED the soldiers because while they CAN be a rowdy bunch. The vast majority are incredibly honorable. I seldom had issues with the soldiers but their leadership... very inflexible, lol.

Nope never been arrested they’ve tried arresting me a few times for weed but I showed them my medical card explained to them in in a private place in the woods by a creek where I’m camping (this was back when I was 19 camping with friend and I had a medical card and everyone over 21 could smoke weed legally

[CloudMassacre]

I’ve been pulled over for:
An out license plate light
An out tail light
And a 2am empty town double left turn

[Asker]

You got arrested for all those?

[jennifer_bloom]

Never been arrested but had a stalker try to get me arrested with lies and false accusations.

[Anonymous]

No, but I almost made a cop cry. lol

[Asker]

Do tell.

I was a cab driver. I got pulled over for doing 35 in a 25. The cop gave me two choices. Accept a speeding ticket, or admit that I never had my seatbelt on. The speeding ticket would go on my record, but the seatbelt ticket would not. I opted for the seatbelt ticket.

I was OK with it, and OK to pay the ticket. But then he started to lecture me on safety. That was it, the gloves were off.

I asked him, why is it that I’ve had tons of cops riding in my cab, and not ONE of them put their safety belt on.
(Now he was staring at the ground and embarrassed)

Then I told him about my cab driver friend that had permanent brain damage, because he couldn’t flee the vehicle when the drunk fucks in the back seat started bashing his head with rocks. He couldn’t protect his head, open his door and remove the safety belt at the same time, because he didn’t have three arms.

I told him that I understand that having a safety belt on is safe for some, but it’s a death wish for a cabbie.

His face got red, and his eyes got a bit teary. He knows what it’s like when there’s an officer down. I told him that the morning this happened, I was doing 50 in a 25 to see if I could do anything to help my friend, and a cop passed me going about 75. He said he was sorry and let me go.

I understand your point of view but I know lots of paramedics and all of them would tell me that they never had to cut a dead person out of a seat belt.

Shouldn't citizens have the right to make their own decisions? And why didn't the cops wear them? Shouldn't cops know just what you just said? You wouldn't believe how many drug deals I've been on, and murderers, rapists and pedophiles I hauled in my cab. I've taken tons of illegal aliens to the Canadian border, and watched them run across. lol
One time I was leaving from a border drop, and I was swarmed by border patrol with lights flashing.
I couldn't stop laughing. One moron asked me where I work. I just pointed to the giant yellow cab. Duh.
Then he found a card in the back seat with the name "Bob" on it. He said: "So who's this 'Bob'?"

I burst out laughing. I said: "Who the fuck ISN'T BOB? You can't sling a dead cat by the tail without hitting a BOB." (his face turned red and he let his commanding officer take over)

His commanding officer told me that I was just involved in a drug deal. Again, I laughed. I asked him where the drugs are. He said the two guys running across the grass into Canada had the drugs. I asked him why the fuck he and his crew didn't pursue and tackle them and get the drugs? His face turned red and he said I could go. Sorry for the long story, but I know how to protect myself, and safety belts are not a good thing for some.

[exitseven]

yes, everyone should have the freedom not to wear seat belts. Having a whole system that beeps if you don't have your seatbelt buckled is ridiculous.

[Opinion Owner]

It no more matters in my city. After the George Floyd thing, cops no longer enforce anything. Safety belts, license tabs, speeding, doesn't matter anymore. My brother lives on a residential street with a speed limit is 25 miles per hour. But because of wonderful George floyd, now people drive 60 mph.

As a matter of fact, the governor wants to fire department to respond to crimes, because they don't carry weapons.

[exitseven]

If I were to hazard a guess I would say the governor was a democrat.

[Opinion Owner]

He is.

YAHTZEE!

Cops are no longer allowed to use tear gas during violent riots. That's just mean to the mostly peaceful protesters throwing Molotov cocktails and bricks

[exitseven]

I know a lot of cops and most would take a dim view of all this crap.

@exitseven
Our governor wants to take "qualified immunity" away from cops. I talked to a state trooper about it. So he's in a high speed pursuit of a killer, and the killer crashes. The killer could lawyer-up and try and sue the cop. Then the city, county, state wouldn't be obligated to pay for the legal defense for the employee that was doing what he was trained and expected to do. You just can't make this shit up.
