I have been arrested 3 times. I was a bad teenager. 2 of the arrests were for shoplifting. The first shoplifting I tried to steal a can of formula for my baby. I had no money and had just moved to that state and knew no one. When I was sitting in the back of Wal-Mart waiting for the cop to come and get me the Wal-Mart people gave me a bunch of baby clothes, diapers, wipes and formula for my son. Then they sent me off to jail. I spent 18 hours there. Right when I got out of there I was about to call someone to give me a ride, when some cops walked up to me and arrested me. They realized I had a speeding ticket that I had never paid from 3 years earlier. They took me to a different jail, which was worse than the first one. I was there for 6 days because I had an out of state drivers license and they didn't want to let me get out on bond for fear of me going back to that state and not paying. So I had to stay in jail til the court date. My third time was shoplifting once again, but that time it was just for the thrill of it. It was hair dye.LOL The cop handcuffed me and took me to jail. Got my statement and info and fingerprints and pic. He asked me if I had ever shoplifted before and I said no. He believed me and obviously couldn't find my previous record of it, so he just let me go home without doin time. I learned my lesson anyway though. That was the last time I ever stole anything.

I did once. I was on vacation in Florida,the bouncer driving me home was arrested for D.U.I,and I was hand-cuffed to the Blazer door til they figured out what to do with me. They wouldn't uncuff me cause I'd take off walking so I pulled up the skirt,dropped the panty hose & let it fly right on the side of the highway. Could'nt hold it any longer & I knew I'd never see these people again. Terrible huh? True though.

I reported a man who kids use to come to my place of work and tell me mommy and daddy make us do all kinds of sexual things,it was all done in secrect,but,they took the kids away and the grandparents have custody and he got 7 months in prison,she was ordered to stay away from the kids!sometimes,speak up to help these poor children,I do,it breaks my heart!The police interviewed the children and both parents where taken in,I still don't understand why she didn't get any time coz she also has aids and probably gave it to her 2 kids!so sad!I pray for them every night!Young children don't know how to make these things up and that was enough to get him arrested and have the children taken away!

Yes-One night while I was sleeping-someone tried to get in my window. I woke up called the Police-by the time they came he was almost in-he ran. Since only one car came and he ran through yards-he didn't get caught. He tried again and I called neighbor-when lights went on at their house he ran. Always between 1 and 3 in the morning. I have dogs now. A couple of my neighbors had incidents too. Always got away -probably lives around here. \nI didn't sleep for a while-heard every noise . Police can not watch everything. The police also ask me what I was wearing-what an insult-guess they have too. Very scary.

Are you nuts? The police won't tell anyone about arrest warrants, least of all the person to be taken into custody. How in hell would they ever catch anyone if it were otherwise?

The closest I got was my ex.  We lived in a small town and everyone knew my boyfriend including the cops.  They didnt take one of my calls seriously and took 4 hours to get there.  Once they got there, they were talking and joking with my boyfriend while I was moving my things out of the house.  I later went back to get a copy of the police reports I had done so I could have them with me if he ever took me to court for custody of my son and they didnt have any reports from me on file... just one from my ex about me hitting him which never happened.  Sometimes, I cant believe that it happened.. that people who were suppose to protect me and my kids were helping this abusive jerk out.

Passion overcame my boyfriend and I one evening and we decided to drive to a secluded carpark.\n\nWhen we got there, we noticed that there were 3 other vehicles parked up at the otherside, windows all semi-steamed up, so  we parked at the other side away from them\n\nAnyway one thing led to another and just in mid thrust so-to-speak there were a knock on the window, we looked out and realised that it was a police officer.\n\nIt appeared that we had been the entertainment for an organised drugs bust and that in the other cars in the carpark was nearly a million pounds worth of cocaine!\n\nThe drug dealers applauded us as they were handcuffed and thrown into the back of a van!

Your local police department love helping out in cases like this. They can scare him in to stopping. they will do a fake arrest and show him how he will be treated as a law breaker. give them a try.

why'd you have a court appearance? sounds like false arrest under habeus corpus.

Sometimes...most of the time...yes.  Absolutely.\n\nBut there have been many times over the years where I have been quite certain the arrest is going to have a devastating effect on the person, their family, or others.  I don't enjoy those times at all.\n\nThen why do it?\n\nBecause it's my job; the one I was sworn to do the day I accepted it, and because I don't arrest people on a whim.

The same questions they ask me.  Drivers license and proof of insurance.  If I don't have that, it's get out of the car.....I'm toted off to jail and my car impounded till I can provide the documents that are necessary.  I've had them shine a light in my car and hold my art eraser till it was determined it wasn't contraband.  I got some deal on my ticket for disrespecting an officer because I busted out laughing while he was sniffing my eraser.  I've had my car searched for no other reason than an outed tail light.  I've randomly had to be subjected to sobriety tests and a pat down.  Been in a car in which we were pulled over because the police thought the driver "looked funny".  We agreed, but the police officer didn't think it was funny.  I have been pulled over as a youth and had my parents called to see if they knew where I was.  I have been repeatedly pulled over time and time again by a cop because I drove a van that was considered the "type of vehicle" a drug trafficer would drive.  I've been pulled over because they wanted to be sure I wasn't being abducted since the passenger was a black person.  I've also turned a corner without putting on a turn signal and been let go.  I've had police officers help me when I was stranded on the side of the road without a question asked.\n\nI'd like to know when you aren't required to have your license on you when you are driving a vehicle!  I thought that was a basic rule#1.

Do you have a police record? (you can check this; have to get them to sign a release form, ususally)\n\nHave you EVER stolen anything? (EVERYONE has stolen SOMETHING, even if it was just a stick of gum from our sister when we were 7.  This question is to see if they lie)\n\nWhat would you do if..... ? (give a situation that has occured where they will be employed)\n\nAnd I'd ask some general knowledge questions to find out if they had half a brain.

There may be an on going investigation that you are not aware of.  Please speak to the policeman that you gave the report to and ask for an update.  Sometimes what we think is a done deal, is not enough for our courts to hang someone with.  I'm glad you had the courage and fortitude to do something about it.  Good for you!
