EnronHaliburton2004's Journal: Poll: Worst arrest (innocent or guilty) of your lifetime?

I submitted this as a Slashdot poll, but I doubt it will be accepted (bad formatting, they never accept my stuff).

I dug this up from an old post.

---------------------------

Worst arrest of your lifetime:

1. Never. I'm a law abiding citizen.
2. Never. I run away.
3. A few misdemenors
4. Violent offense
5. Alcohol or drug-related offenses

8. I stole the money, burned down the office and now live on a beach in Mexico with my red stapler.
9. It's copyright infringement, not stealing.
10. In a past life I ruled the world with an Iron first, Crushed my enemies, saw them driven before me, and heard the lamentations of their women!

Cops pulled us over, checked everyone's ID. I had just moved to LA from Hawaii, and all I had was a Hawaii state ID, which looks remarkably crappy. They couldn't find me on their computer system, so they took me in and put me in a cell for eight hours because they couldn't verify my identity. They claimed they have the right to hold you for up t

They claimed they have the right to hold you for up to 36 hours...

Now they can hold you forever. Oh, how I long for the "good ol' days"...when they were required to have actual evidence that you did something besides "fit a description". It WAS that way once, wasn't it? Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong planet.

Missing option

[RM6f9]

Missing Option:
9. As if I'd admit anything of the sort on a wide-open electronic message board forum. (a more honest version of option 1, perhaps?

3. misdemenors

[slothman32]

Only trespassing. I stole property the same why copyright infringers do. Well not quite the same.

I agree with #2

Though I think it should be more of the "I did the Dukes of Hazzard on that poor country bacon" type of response. ;)
