Have you ever been arrested or picked up by police?I have been picked up by police once.It was when I was studying in another place.Myself & my friend shared a room.It was past midnight I reached that place.We had 2 seperate keys for our room.I had forgotten & left my key back in my native place.Even my roomate had been to his native.There was no other place for to go or even for that matter there was no lodge where I studied.It was about 2:30 AM.I thought it would be better to sit near the Police Station.So I sat in front of a shop near the police station.A policeman saw me sitting there & asked why I was sitting there.I told him the facts.But he did not beleive me.He took me to the police staion.They sent me out only when the senior came & sent me. Has anything like this happened to you.Or have you ever been involved in a crime?

yeah back when i was younger between 15 to 17 i got pickup by the police more times than i gone to school. the best part is we get to ride in the back of the police car back to school with a call to our parents lucky no one was home. my friends and me we would go play games at the arcade, eat, drink, smoke, and lots of other things.

Man those were the young days. But my method at that age was to run and scatter. That was the only method. The truth is that I wasn't worried about the cop. Not the reason why I really ran. Is to face my Asian father and a lifetime whooping. I was lucky I never got took down. I hope nothing went wrong after that.

Once when I was 14 year old. I was angry at my parents and left the house. Police picked me up about a mile from home. Pulled their pistols on me and told me to get up against the wall. They took me to a bus stop and escorted me into the bus. They asked the driver was I the one that robbed him. He said no. They told me to go home. It was a longer walk home.

hi krupesh I have not been arrested or picked upo by the police, but I was stopped and questioned on my way to work in the library right next to the police station. He showed me a picture of this older woman that they were looking for in my town'she had been doing a string of burglaries in a guise as a nice old lady. wow I looked just like her, but I told the officer who I was, and that I had worked] in the library for years, he even talked to my branch] manager and then he apologized for having bothered me.what was so amazing was that she resembled me so closely.scary.

i don't wanna believe it but yes i have been picked up by a police and got ride in a police car for the first time in history. i was robbed one time -- well last February actually just this year -- really bad experience. the people who helped me called the police and came to my rescue. they asked me to make a statement that night so I cooperated. Goodness, hopefully that wont happen again. well it would be nice to ride one more time but not because something bad happened..

The police guy who took you was pretty harsh on you. I have never faced anything like that. But 2 of my friends were jailed because they were smoking on the street at 3 am and getting out of houses after midnight is not allowed in the country i stay in. This happened a week back so i thought i should share it with fellow mylotters. be happy and never get into trouble..

I've been chased by the police many times but I use free running to get away. They've never caught since it takes me around 10 seconds to climb a 20 story building...

I have been arrested before for peeing in front of my house. That was the worst thing I ever did while drunk and I was thrown into the drunk tank. That was an amazing night, thank god I was alone in the cell. I wasn't harassed because I wouldn't be able to do anything while intoxicated. God bless

hi, i haven't been called by police, because i am good guy all alone,especially i never run the red light in the traffic.(laugh) some police are lazy, don't care about people break rules in the traffic, so police always are blamed for neglecting their work, they can't guarantee people's safeness and comfort.

When i was 16 years old, i got my drivers license..sounds pretty normal right? But i purchased a vehicle, the company that sold it to me told me i would have to put the car in my mothers name because i was not 18 yet, and that was their policy. So being a teenager, I drove as much as possible and was out late some nights, but my mother trusted me and was not worried. Being that my mother did not have her drivers license, i got pulled over Many times, and their excuse was that they ran the plates and the name they found didnt have a DL....which i understand. But it was like they were harassing me, same officer doing it numerous amount of times...then late one night i was parked out front of a hotel where a friend was staying and the same policeman pulled up next to me and said what are you doing Angela? I replied Waiting for a friend of mine...and he told me that he had received a call about a suspious person parked outside of the hotel, then told me to leave the parking lot. WTF I was only parked there for like 3 mins before he pulled up! I like to think that not all policemen are goood!
