I love this question.  I especially love it when I don't initiate it, but in this case I have no choice.  I'm always fascinated to find out what people have done to get them in trouble with the law and it's usually the people you'd least expect.  

The crimes are often alcohol related.  It's generally some sort of public intoxication that involved urination, nudity or some combination of both.  Nonetheless it's interesting to put the faces with the illegal acts.  I'd fancy a game that involved a group of mug shots and a list of illegal acts where the players scored points by matching the criminals with their crimes.   

If anything it'd be an interesting study of the human condition and how we associate the way one looks with a crime we think they'd be capable of committing.   

Now if you've killed someone and hidden the body in the desert, but you were arrested for speeding on the ride home we don't need to hear anything about that one.  Let's keep the confessions to a minimum.  Try to stick to the ol' "slap on the wrists."

I'll start.  I was arrested for vandalism.  It was small town stupidity, but it was enough to land several buddies and me in court when we should have been in high school.  There's a trip to court with my father I'd never want to make again.  I got off pretty easy with some community service, but to this day I still get a serious case of the sweats any time a police car drives past.   If need be I can go into more detail about the crime, but for now I'll leave it at that and see if anyone has anything to offer.

Thanks, this here's my first post and I'm not sure how this really works.

    Welcome, Wavertree. i'm a newbie as well.
     
    I was arrested as a 15 yr old on my paper round. The milkman had delivered some orange juice and left it on the door step - and for some reason best known to myself at the time, I swiped it.
     
    Justice was only around the corner (literally), and I was grabbed by said milkman and made to apologise to the orange juice owner, who then called the Police and had me dragged away to my eternal shame...
     
    I could never use that underwear again...

    That's hysterical.  That absolutely has the makings of a short story.  Sort of "Dennis the Menace" meets "Rebel Without a Cause."

    Well done.  I guess the new kids on the block have found each other. 

    I look forward to checking out your stuff.

I have to tell this story in the hopes that somebody else won't be fool like I was. I went against my better judgement, and my father's voice in the back of my head....
Are you searching for a new car? Do you need to find more affordable items for your new home?  Could you use some new jewelry to add to your collection?...
I was in Aberdeen last week doing a show at the Lemon Tree, a storm lashed the Granite City, and sideways rain like a giant fire hose was drenching each street at a specific annoying angle. The new shopping centre was lovely but unfinished and the cash...
Why I hate cops...
Police are corrupt thugs who protect the rich and serve themselves. Very bad people. Only thugs, criminals and bullies become cops!...
