Yeah...and in Bratislava of all places.
4 days for punching and breaking the nose of a policeman and as we had been downing absinthe all day I had no memory of it whatsoever.
I was pretty badly beaten up by 3 policeman too, at the end up i got about fined around £150,but they said they were going to keep me there for 2 weeks.

sad

Im not proud.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

hug You were so young sad but so brave to help her. I was like 24 whe that happened ... my ass could have gotten locked up for sure if the cops went "by the book".

No, no, no, he just fit the description.

They don't mention that "the description" often consists of little more than "black male."

What's funny is that I was thinking about something one my classmates revealed to us a feqw years ago. She said an African-American teenage boy that she was counseling was looking forward to going to jail because (quote) "You're not a man until you've been to jail." Naturally, all of us lil aspiring counselors begin to give our classmate a lot of text book advice on how to appeal to this young man, mostly about seeking positive male role models in his life and throughout history. My classmate responded that the kid was very aware that MLK, Mandela, Malcolm X, Al Sharpton, John Lewis, etc had all been to jail and that is what helped to make them better people and great leaders, hence his desire to go to jail and become a "real man".

neutral Oh, the lessons learned that night in class.

Oh, the kid realized that jail is just a dirty, creepy diseased ridden, the high possibly of getting anally-raped set him straight?

Me, too, in England, but they did put me in a jail for few hours and released me apoligizing they made a mistake. It was the craziest day of my life.

The 1st 5 yrs or so of living here ( 25 yrs ago ) the local police would have fund raisers for the local children's causes ... you put your name on a list and if they drew your name during thr yr they would come arrest you and then call everyone on your contact list and whoever posted the highets bail amount got you out ... though you knew what was happening you never knew WHEN the cops would show up

was fun and a great was to raise $$

Racial Profiling perhaps? confused

Not in this case. I was walking in my "suburb" and the cops started following me. I thought it was my friends clowning me initially. After about a half a block, the cop pulled in at an angle and boom: the driver pulled his gun and the passenger pulled his shotgun and yelled "FREEZE". I saw my entire life flash before me. I froze and the cops ran over and put me up against the car. They went through my bag and put me in the back of the car. I asked them what was going on and they said, and I quote, "A woman was just raped and u fit the description", then they took off 2 the suspects house with me in the back seat. I'm thinking 2 myself, please don't let this woman think "we all look alike". They escorted me out of the back seat and asked the woman if "I was the guy". She looked at me a said no. The cops got real apologetic, uncuffed me and let me go. They asked me if I needed a ride but I declined. Lucky 4 me, I was about 3 blocks from home so I just walked home in total disbelief. That was one of the more surreal moments of my life. I was 17 at the time.

Yes! I spent six hours in jail on September 8, 2008. My dumb ass was pulled over for talking on the cell phone (the week the handsfree law went into effect in California) and I thought I was just waiting for the cop to write out my ticket but when he asked me to step out of the car I knew something was up. Apparently, I had a warrant out for my arrest for an unpaid $66 jay-walking ticket I received in Long Beach in 2004. When the cop mentions this I'm immediately transported to the time I got the ticket. This jay-walking consisted of walking when the flashing, "don't walk hand" was red. It's not like I ran across a major highway during rush hour like some asshole. I just tried to beat the light or something. And I remember I had been taking the train to work in those days because it was faster to get from downtown LA to downtown Long Beach on the metro blue line than being stuck in traffic. I don't know why I never paid the damn thing. I guess I just forgot. Anywho... the ticket plus the warrant was now up to $300 dollars. In these days of cellphones I do not know anybody's number by heart except my work number and I only know that because I give it out every day. So, I called work and had my boss bail me out. Nowadays I live in terror of cops trailing me, and my ass does not and will not ever cross a street unless the "walking man" flashing on the other side tell me to... lol

I went to jail when I was 7 eek

But did I mention my mother was a prison officer and I was dying to see what the jail looked like, so she took me into a cell to show me. I thought in my seven year old mind that it was quite nice. How naive.

Otherwise I have total respect for the law and order authorities here, the Police are here to protect and serve not take insults and abuse.
So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time
