i'm afraid i was arrested in england for grievous bodily harm for running over my boyfriend who was sleeping with my sister (she didn't know) but was aquitted by the jury

[stroller]

Your sister didn't know he was sleeping with her?!?
That's bizarre...

Oh, and welcome, thaigirly.

[thaigirly]

no she didn't know he was my boyfriend. and thanks for the welcome

[DrAndy]

why didn't you run over your sister as well?

you obviously don't talk to her much

[thaigirly]

boyfriends can be replaced sisters can't

I'm confused by this. How could you run over your boyfriend but miss your sister - unless you hit him head on. Were they sleeping on the lawn or did you crash the car through the wall? Was it one of those big poncy country houses where you can open the french windows and get a good run up?

Bump: Now that we've got a load more new members and seeing that most of them are distinctly dodgy...

Well, looks like I'm the first one to vote & I'm a girly swot . So, option 1 for me. Unless you count stealing a candy cane when I was 6 & my mum taking me back to the shop to return it & apologise.

Do you drive NR?
I can't see how anyone, girly swot or not, could live here as long as you have and not had to pay some sort of fine.

I'm up to double figures for minor traffic violations.

[Richard Littlejohn]

I'm a reformed character.

It's a strange situatuation, as some old friends don't want anything to do with you if you're not a villan any more & some new friends distance themselves when they find out you used to be a villan.

I was riding my bike home from work on Saipan when I noticed a police car next to what looked like a disabled vehicle. The cop waved me over. Thinking he needed help I rode over. He immediately started yelling at me telling me I was riding too close to the side of the road and should be more in the middle. I told him he was nuts. He grabbed me, threw me to the ground, put me in a hammer lock and arrested me. They took me and my bicycle to the police station.

When the DA realized what the stupid cop had done they released me and issued me a traffic citation for "impeding the flow of traffic". (How can I be impeding the flow of traffic if I was riding too close to the edge of the road?)

I challenged the ticket in court and served as my own attorney and won the case. The judge just laughed and laughed and kept repeating a question to the prosecutor: "This man was riding a bicycle, a peddle bicycle?" The prosecution's own witness testified that cars "just zoomed on by" me and my bicycle. (Impeding the flow of traffic?)

I sued for false arrest and won a $5000 settlement.

That's my only brush with the law....

My last brush with the law was in Manila during the Rugby 10's.

Was busting so relieved myself down (what I thought to be) a discrete alley way. Mid-zip I was approached by two police officers who offered me the choice of accompanying them to the police station or paying an 'on the spot fine'.

I choose the former option and asked them how we would be getting there, they said ok we'll let you go with a warning this time. I think it was because my fly was still half open.

One time back home, I was sitting with my girlfriend in forn of her house at about 3am. We had been drinking and were pretty well lit, but on private property. This cop pulls up and asks "Is everything all right?" And I said yes. He then jumps out of his squad car and tells me to shut up while poking me in the chest. He then tells me that he was talking to my girlfriend and not me. She told him everything was fine and I confirmed it. He then told me he did not like my attitude and asked me where I lived. I told him on the Northside and he advised me that it was time to go home or jail, my choice. We did not want any trouble, so the girlfriend went inside and I caught a cab home. An hour or so later, the girlfriend calls me in a panic, because the cop is knocking on her door trying to get a "piece". He was asking her through the door to come in and that I was no good and was a criminal. I had NEVER had any trouble with the law. I called the Commander at the precinct and after filing a complaint and testifying at a disciplinary hearing the cop was demoted. I saw him from time to time and he could not even look me in the eye.

I walked out of the Bombay Rock venue on Austalia's gold coast after seeing the Hoodu Gurus play live, and upon exiting and seeing the tropical down-pour outside, I said "fuck! it's pissing down". I was then arrested for abusive language by a gang of filthy mouthed, arse-wipe, queensland coppers and had to call my mum the next morning for $50 bail money! - another guy in my cell was locked up for leap-frogging a parking meter. ....fockin' police state australia is ...

The good old days in queensland when peterson was in cops could do what they liked till fitzgerald inquiry came in and named them all and jailed heaps

No, I don't drive. Otherwise, you'd be right; everyone gets pulled for "traffic violations" here.

[Dalton]

Have done quite a few stupid things, got away with most of it, because I had the right connections. Looking back I aint proud of it, but the past cant be changed, and I cant bring people back.
