In how many different states have you been arrested?

[CS1983]

Accused of hit and run. No arrest in it. No actual face to face with an officer. Did spend a while on the phone with a detective.

Was out with friends for movies and food. Late food. Got done about midnight. Pulling out of the parking lot ran over a bottle and it sliced open the tire. Called AAA for help. Was nearly 2am before truck shows up. Guy is limping...has some story about police and drugs and another car. So...he starts working on the tire. Decided to use the lift on his tow truck to raise my car and lower it onto the jack.

While working on changing the tire it rolls off the jack. He gets up...looks around...goes back to changing the tire. All done...sign off the paperwork. I am free to go. Head home and go to bed.

About a month later detective tracks down my work number and calls me. AAA Tow driver claimed while he was changing the tire I jumped in the car...ran over him breaking his leg...hit his tow truck...hit 2 other cars in the lot and fled the scene.

I listened to the detective...then started asking questions. What reason would I have to do this as it is paid for by AAA and I would gain nothing by doing it? Have you checked the AAA paperwork as signing it is the last thing you do before being allowed to leave and I can guarantee it has my signature? Were there any other hit and run reports for that area from that night since it was claimed I hit 2 other cars? Why did the driver wait several weeks before filing a report?

I then offered to allow any officers they wanted to send to come and inspect the car for damage...as there was none.

Detective listened and answered my questions then announced he was writing it off as ineptitude of the AAA tow truck driver.

About 6 months later I get a call from a collection agency. His insurance had done an investigation and found me 100% at fault for his injuries and sent it direct to collection. I call the detective...who fortunately I still had his info...and told him what was going on. He responded that no one had requested a copy of the police report and to pay nothing. He himself would show up in court and testify in my favor if needed. I gave the collection agency his info and they called him...then called me back and said they were removing the claim from me.

3 months later same collection agency again calls. Same story. They call the detective. They call me back and stated they just removed my info from their system and that they would not take any more claims from that insurance company as a result.

Never heard another word on this.

So what you're saying is the tow truck driver wrecked his truck and broke his leg somehow and wanted to pin it on you?

Tow truck driver should've got charged for obstruction and falsifying a police report. Also that fucker should get hit by 18wheel truck or get hit by a lightening.

[FoxtArt]

Do you remember if he was a sole operator or an employee? I'm guessing an employee/contractor, invented all the bullshit so he wouldn't have to reveal what actually happened and could file workers comp or some other crap. And he probably got all that.

No justice in this life.

[MrPrena]

ALthough I have a zero arrest, I had on a handcuff on once.
I got into a fight at 7th grade after school. We had about 20 spectator, because it was a huge fight. Police came and asked us who is fighting. Us 2 got handcuffed and sent to our parents. Police officer said, he will be reporting this incident to school principal and get disciplined by school.

Funnier part is that the guy I was fighting with had his grandma came out and beat the shit out of the kid in front of police. She was saying "Bad boy!" *smack on the back* "Bad boy!" *smack on the head* all the way to the door.

Punishment: It was 89 or 90, so my memory isn't as clear, but I think we both had either 1 day suspension or 1day suspension+ 1 day in school suspension.

[RblDiver]

Never. Only time I was in cuffs was...I want to say third grade, we had a cop come and visit, put the cuffs on me and some other kid to show what it was like (one arm each, so I guess this is "Only time I was in cuff" :P lol)

[Big E3]

Zero for me. Is this thread even legitimate without the OP starting it with his own experiences? Come on Stuving fess up.

[hollohas]

Zero. Never been cuffed or otherwise detained either.

Got caught drinking underage in the woods a few times back in the day, but SO always left after they had us pour out what they could see. Never any MIP tickets issued. Usually ended in handshakes.

Two minor speeding tickets. One as a minor out of state. One as an adult on a rural road.

Plenty of contact with family and friends who were/are LEOs including their co-workers on and off duty. Spent a good portion of my childhood being bored out of my mind sitting in a coffee shop with LEO's who spent what seemed like hours at a time (but probably wasn't) shooting the shit.

[MrAK]

Once at Red Rocks, by a corrupt member of Denver SWAT. I got sucker punched by a Hispanic male who stated to the officer and everyone around that he had done it because I was white and he was otherwise unprovoked. I took the hit, called for a cop, and the responding officer stated that if I wanted to press charges then he was going to miss the concert and so he?d arrest me as well.

I bet the rest of that Earth Wind and Fire concert was awesome.
