I have never been arrested. These aren't the droids you're looking for
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
Been arrested a couple times. Got cuffed and stuffed into a cop car once.
Got to the station. Uncuffed me. Led me and my girlfriend who was also arrested into a room and sat us down to process us.
He wrote out the citation. Asked me if I could pay the bond or spend the...
I never let him finish. I asked if they took checks. When he said yes, I wrote 2 checks immediately. $100 per. I probably was lucky to have $50-60 in my account. Wrote a couple hot checks to avoid the night. Thought I would figure it out later. Was a Friday or Saturday night 275 miles from home. Knew I had a couple days to sort it out when I got home. And I did.
As far as I know the only time I was in a jail was when I was getting fingerprinted for CCP. That was years ago, now fingerprinting is electronic and the ladies in the front office do the fingerprinting. That first time making that walk to the jail with a deputy was kind of weird.
I was arrested for DUI decades ago but never saw the jail.
No, I have not. I knew what the price of admission was and I didn't like the looks of the environment either. I'll add that at some point early in life, (probably before I reached the age of 10) I was watching a tv show with my Dad and the plot had something to do with teenagers getting put in jail.
This one, maybe? I watched it as a kid.
No, I seem to remember it was an episode of Happy Days or something like that. I did see Scared Straight later on in high school.

We had Inmates come to the school and talk to us in elementary school.

I had inmate friends get out and tell me it wasn't such a nice place.
I got lucky a few times before I "wised up" (as the old man would put it).
Only time I've been behind those locked doors was visiting folks. Saw Phil Specter once on a visit to a friend's kid.

Did quite a few pickups and deliveries to prison farms in both WY and CO, but never have seen the inside of a jail or prison. I’m good with that. Never arrested, only “minor” run ins with the law, and only one motorcycle confiscated by a judge with no sense of humor… but that was long, long ago in a country far, far away……
I joined the Navy in 88 and probably made it to VA Beach around late 89 or early 90. It didn't take much for a Sailor to get arrested within the confines of VA Beach. I was once arrested for walking from one bar to the next one less than 50 yds away. Drunk in public. No breathalyzer or sobriety test. Just cuffed and carted off to jail. I was wondering what egregious error I could have made walking 50yds after 2 beers.
Cops would stand in the middle of the strip flagging down any vehicle that had base stickers on them and scour the car and occupants looking for an offense. By my 3rd arrest, my command and myself decided that hanging out at the beach was a bad idea. I left this area and swore I would never come back but I failed to realize that my job only had 2 duty stations, Little Creek and Coronado. I have been here since 99 and still avoid Va Beach like the plague. I try to keep my ass in Chesapeake and only go into VA Beach for emergencies.
Once I was "accepted" at my command, we just picked someones house and piled up there and only went out for "training" at The Ships Wheel occasionally. To be honest, I still despise this area and can't wait to move to WVA or PA this fall.
3 friends and I did do a 2 week stint in a Mexican prison once but not sure if that counts. Apparently they don't like gringos burning down whorehouses down there.
In 1977 I was released from 13 years of incarceration at Hermon-DeKalb Central School. Does that count?
You've paid the price. I have a couple grandkids still doing time there.
People with the typical outsider's idea of what New York is like would be flabbergasted to see the part of New York we're from.
Way to many don't even know there is actually a large portion of the state that's not a city.
Does it matter when the city rules the state?
It’s still a beautiful place to be with an abundance of fishing, hunting, and other outdoor recreational opportunities. There aren’t many employment opportunities. If you can live with the economy, the taxes, and the liberal laws, you can have a good life. We couldn’t, so we left. I really miss it, but I love SC. My wife would never set foot in NY again, if it weren’t for her parents.
