Let's talk about our brush-ins/encounters/close encounters with the law. We were all in High School and stuff once right? I just wrote up an anecdote but deleted it because it wasn't very neat.
Edit: Okay...one night me and two of my friends drove down to a town about a half hour down the interstate for a big "score" (hollywood lol) that we could potentially make a bit of money on. We ended up havin to park off the interstate in some abandoned Panchero's parking lot...wait...a car pulled up with a couple of dudes in the front. We had to get into the car. The car drove us for 15 minutes throuh to this really weird residential neighborhood and stopped in front of this house. We had to get out of the car, put money in a fucking mailbox, and get the stuff from the mailbox that was sitting in there, and then get back into the car, which drove us back to the parking lot.
We got out, drove home, and said lets never do that again.
once this kid was pissing me off and then he said something and got on his bike and rode away before i could say anything back
so i picked up a rock and threw it in his direction, not wanting to hit him, but just cos there was nothin else i could do at that point and it would let off a little steam
i was on higher ground and watched as the rock made a perfect arc as he rode away and hit him right in the head
i heard it hit his helmet and though 'good he is okay'. then i heard him start crying and i cheesed it
about 5 seconds later i had run through 3 neighbours properties and jumped 2 fences and got back to my house
then i sat by the fence and listened as the kids mother went to a neighbours house to ask about me or somethin
luckily she did not come around to my place and talk to my parents
so the cops were not involved
but then sometime later a guy who was with me at the time told my brother that the kid had a restraining order out against me
that was a pretty dumb thing to pull out of nowhere
thus concludes the story of a time i cheesed it

another time i cheesed it was on school camp when i was smoking behind a big powerbox thing at night with some other dudes
then we heard a teacher walking nearby and we all went silent
and i thought i should put the cigarette out and tried to step on it but because i was sitting down uncomfortably my foot accidentally flicked out a bit and i kicked the powerbox and it was pretty loud
then we all cheesed it

Heh... I definitely have a story there. Maybe in reverse-format though; see, I didn't actually do anything.
Ok, first of all - anyone who knows me knows I barely drink, I do no drugs, and the worst law I've ever broken was that against jaywalking. I'm a bit of a chicken, and not at all a troublemaker.
So. At my college, there is a ballroom dance every friday. Afterwards, I walked back to my dorm, across the entirety of campus, at late-o'clock, alone. I stop at one point to review some hand positions for the tango (flipping my hand back and forth, as I watch my arm). As I start walking again, I see a DPS (campus mock-police) officer on his rounds... and as I reach my dorm building, two more get out of a car and ask me to stop. I comply.
So, they start in with the questions, and explain they saw me "behaving oddly". I am extremely glad I didn't follow my first impluse, because the immediate thought that comes to mind is "how can he know I was behaving oddly - he doesn't even know me to know what I'm normally like". Never even occurred to me that they meant drug use.
Altercations with authority make me extremely nervous, and I don't even have my keys or ID with me - boyfriend is in my room, and I was going to call up to him to let me in. I'm getting extremely uncomfortable as they start asking me if I've been doing any drugs or drinking (no and no) and it is obvious that they don't believe me.
So, they change tactics. They only care about my safety - they don't want to be called back later if I'm vandalizing some place, or lost somewhere. It doesn't really matter if I've been drinking/on drugs... they just want to make sure I don't do anything dumb. Now, again, there is me - short, female, never been able to intimidate anyone... and three DPS officers - the first obviously called for backup when he saw me.
So, they still don't believe me. And I still have no idea why they thought I was on drugs. They say they'd like to do some tests. The first is to shine a flashlight in my eyes, see if they are more dialated than normal. I fail miserably. My eyes are naturally dialated more than normal, and one of my pupils are larger than the other. Of course, they don't believe me. Then, they say they've got one more test - will I please stand still with my hands at my sides. I'm scared now - they already believe I'm on drugs, and I failed one test. I know that people on drugs are often very jumpy... and again, I'm naturally jumpy.
Fortunately, they just had me follow a pen with my eyes.... some more questions, and they finally let me go. About 5 minutes later, I recall the tango thing, and the situation makes a bit more sense.
I have friends who do do things... none of them ever was caught or questioned... and me? The least daring of all? Gah!
tl;dr: I don't drink, do drugs, or make trouble - but I was pulled over for 15 minutes on suspicion of drug-use.

Also, I used to steal a lot of shot, including trucks. I was on a Crime Stopper's clip once.
Strangely enough, having the gun pointed at my head was when I didn't do anything illegal. I have never been caught for anything I did do that was illegal.

Believe me, nothing would have made me happier at that point than if I would have been able to Cheese it!... However, having to call up to my boyfriend to let me into the building I was standing next to kinda put a damper on that whole idea.
Plus, the whole not-pissing-off-authority quirk I have.

You, miss, are the victim of the Old Man that calls the police on everyone that acts at all outside of his limited scope of reality. If anyone else had saw you they would assume you were dancing or acting something out in your head or whatver, but not this Old Man.
Someone walking their cat instead of a dog? CALL THE POLICE.
Someone necking with a black person? CALL THE POLICE.
Seomone out late at night, singing you better believe that warrants CALLING THE POLICE.
I hate this Old Man, he has called the cops on me several times and then yelled it at me. I'm always like, "What exactly is it that you think i'm doing that warrants calling the cops?" The cops never came, I'm sure they get too many calls from this Old Man.
The space I parked in was residents parking, for which you need a permit of course. I had been parking there for like a year and it was the one day I forgot to display the permit in the window (after coming back from MOT) that this guy by chance is checking the cars parked there.
Hence my anger. Im pretty good at driving, and it was just bad luck why I got the ticket. OF course, I could have gone into my room and gotten the permit to show him but as usual 'its in the system now' so I have to debate it with the council, which of course takes months and Im never really going to be arsed to do.
Regardless, I come to SE++ and crave cruel and unusual methods of revenge and instead I get sound advice and thoughtful reccomendations. My life is taking a turn for the surreal.
(I wasnt actually going to take revenge of course. That would be silly. But I can influence the life of this parking warden in completely legal and non offensive ways, as it has been news to me that he lives very close to us)

It's not like you have to do anything for months and months. Just wait until the date of the hearing and then show them the pass. Now they will be aware of you for future accidental infractions.

This is probably going to be what I do.
But the problem is if you dont pay the ticket within a month, by law you have to be summoned/pay an extra fine, which they can enforce.
So really, the deal is that I dont go to the council to repeal the ticket, I go to get my money back from the ticket I have to pay right away. Which is how they scam people. Seriously, I hate this part of thelegal system.
Regardless, we use pounds over here, trentsteel. You may have heard of them, they are worth twice as much as dollars and have the Queens face on one side

Are you trying to make some point with the "worth twice as much" thing? You can get like a hundred ten, hundred twenty yen to the dollar, that doesn't make dollars better, you just use smaller denominations.
once this kid was pissing me off and then he said something and got on his bike and rode away before i could say anything back
so i picked up a rock and threw it in his direction, not wanting to hit him, but just cos there was nothin else i could do at that point and it would let off a little steam

thus concludes the story of a time i cheesed it
If you weren't directly informed of such a thing you couldn't have gotten in trouble anyway, as you weren't made aware by the law that you were supposed to avoid the kid.
I don't really have any personal stories about cops, just long-winded tales of others that don't really involve square cheddar snacks.

I was polite and got off with a reduced fine.
The end.

Aw really? I just woke up and I wanted to talk about this. I have my coke sitting out and everything.
