Impounded Blues

[Slamman]

Pulled over for tail light infraction, they found my insurance lapsed, they towed my car and frisked me!

I got a STAY OUT OF JAIL FREE card, but am now facing more debt that I can't get cleared.

Wishing I'd charged everything, you can clear that debt with a phone call these days!!

 

DAMMIT.

 

So, ever gotten close to jail, impounded, thrown in the back of a squad car??

{I know there was another thread, but not sure where it is now}

[Seachmall]

Got caught drinking outside of my old school one night when I was 17 (it was only a few months back), a random car pulled up in the street and a friend of mine called them pedos. 2 police officers stepped out of the car. Very awkward, but they were dead sound.

 

Years ago me and my mates used to go to the local shopping centre and rob them blind for lunch, the one time they ditched me (I was late getting out of class) they all got caught. The police were called and it was all very messy. Fortunately they were all young at the time and nothing happened apart from some warnings and calls home.

 

It's not much but I'm still young .

 

A friend of mine got caught dealing a few weeks back (weed and hash), nothing serious but he's had a few warning before for fighting and general anti-social behaviour. It still has to go to court .

[Slamman]

As far as I recollect, I've now been in the back seat of a squad car three times and handcuffed once, that was the pits!!

handcuffs hurt like hell

 

BTW, only one squad car seat seemed to have SEAT BELTS!

Also, They were asking how to get to my house, and of course, they've got computers in their cars, I noted what appears to be a Panasonic Tough Book.

Anyway, I actually told them they should have Google Maps on it!!

Why were you handcuffed? Couldn't keep your hands to yourself or did they find that little boy in your trunk?

[Slamman]

I was molesting some old dude, NO, no, no

 

I did watch my Wifi Porn outdoors, but this was before all that! hahahaha

 

I was trespassing at my own place of business... I was employed there at any rate. They had me cuffed only as long as it took to check that out and confirm. It was unexpected, as I never saw them arrive.

 

They popped out behind a building and I believe Guns were drawn!

[Star-Lord]

And at that exact moment is when you felt something wet and slimy running down your legs. Thank GOD your weren't breaking any laws...just trespassing. You lucky they didn't take you in.

 

OT: I was once pulled over for riding while drunk on a bicycle. Apparently I was zigzagging in the middle of a school zone, can't remember I was F'up. I got a $25.00 ticket that's about it, then they took my bike and placed it in the trunk of the patrol car and put my as* in the backseat after ramming my head against the roof of the car,which took my buzz away instantly. They took me home and asked me not to use my bike. if I was going to drink.

Yeah i have been arrested 4 times and spent the night in a cell once, that was all pre age 14 though, i was a little sh*t in my younger teen years, now i have changed alot since then.

[ToyMachine]

Got arrested on a 1st degree attempted robbery charge on a lady who ended up being a detective's wife when I was younger and stupid. Long story.

[•Rapidoh]

I'm just boring, haven't ever been involved with the police. Well..I guess the closest thing I come close to an incident is when some 14 year old kid up the road from me had a mental break down and stole her mums car and managed to bang into pretty much every car down the street up until the main part of the village. Just had some officer come round and get the details and all of the evidence ( The front bumper had come completely off of her car, I think I have the pictures still ) Anyway he just sat in the room asking for details just after my mum had smoked some pot. Surprised he didn't smell it to be honest since I could.

Shaking is the extent of my fear, even last night, I thought I'd be in JAIL for who knows how long.

My retired boss used to joke, certain co workers he messed with, during a meeting he'd say, Jose, Don't get locked up over the weekend, I won't be there to bail you out!" Or whomever it was he took a stab at. It was all pretty funny then.

 

The work place was deserted but they'd installed alarms that were silent so I had no idea I triggered anything. I'd gone back to get my stuff I'd forgotten, namely a hat! haha

[Seachmall]

Where do you work that they need silent alarms?

[Slamman]

Engineered Building Components, they assembled home trusses for roofs and floors, expensive parts they worried someone might break in. I was looking at old paychecks, after taxes I was taking home $450 in the 1990s!

[DeeperRed]

I was taking home $450 in the 1990s!

yeah and it was all spent on old antique sh*t

 

On topic:

 

never really had any run in's with the law. I was once arrested for skipping school when I was infact on my summer holidays, so after they rang my parents they let me off.

Another time the police showed up to a houseparty I was attending. I was really drunk and shouted out the window "f*ck the police", I got cautioned for that.

Then the final time is when they stopped me in the streets and searched me. I had really bad red eye from smoking but luckly I didn't have any on me so they let me off

[Slamman]

What wasn't antique by todays' standards in 1990? I mean the whole decade, I was perhaps spending too much on DVD players and LaserDiscs, but we didn't know prices would change. I was always looking for deals, mind you.

 

I am just making this because LIFE SUCKS!...and then you Die.

But, if you learn anything, keep away from the handcuffs and JAIL!

I can't believe you actually went back. And you are right life does suck at times, just one big hole, we come out of,we eat out of/ we crap out of/we hear out of/we breath out of/we speak out of/we vomit out of/we drink beer out of/we smoke out of. Then we die and end up right back in the hole again.

Holy crap! Life does suck.

[Hurricane5]

I guess you could say I've been 'above average' on my run-ins with law enforcement. Going all the way back to when I was 11.

 

1.0 - When I was eleven years old, my father was a prominent figure in the city in which we lived. That, of course led to harassment of most of my family. Whenever they ran across someone with my last name, or whenever they had the opportunity, they would harass us. Me being the first to inherit the reins of my father's power, they loved to try and get at me.

 

1.1 - A friend of mine who happened to live next door, and I, were working on ATV's and dirt bikes, and after we would tune them out, I would take it for a test run. Well, I was riding a rather large ATV, on our own property. I run around on our land for a few minutes, then out of nowhere, a cop pulls his car onto our property, blocking my forward path, and another cop car shoots in behind me, boxing me in. Well, the police chief steps out and a K-9 unit exits the other police car. They try and find every reason in the book to pin something on me, to their disappointment, I was not doing anything illegal. By this time some of my family showed up at the scene, including my father and my brother who is district attorney. The chief is a crooked, short snake in the grass. He begins physically threatening members of my family, rolling up his sleeves and stating he could take everyone of us out with that one fist. My father doesn't take too kindly to that. He told the chief if he didn't f*ck off out of there, he'd show chief there how he could take him out, and 'that big fat motherf*cker beside him.' Knowing he couldn't do anything, and his actions could ruin him, he stomps off like a bitch, gets in his car and leaves. Not too long after that, the chief was caught selling various drugs out of his cruiser.

 

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

 

2.0 - Many years later, when I was 20 years old, pushing things to the edge and being retarded, I was planning on having a damn good night. At that time, a 'damn good night' consisted of popping pills, drinking, smoking weed and other things. So here I was around 10:00pm, at home, starting my plans for the night. I decided to get extremely wasted. I overdosed on morphine, valium and sleeping pills, amongst other things.

 

2.1 - I realize my cigarettes are running low, and I wanted a blunt stick to roll me up a nice smoke. So, totally unable to talk, reasoning being absent, total perception of time gone, vision becoming very distorted and hallucinations setting in, I jump in my car to drive up to the local convenience store. I was able to complete the transaction perfectly, but, as I returned to my car, everything I had taken hit me like a baseball bat to the face. I sit in my car for maybe three minutes in the parking lot, smoking a cigarette, trying to stop the irreversible side effects that a major overdose on many substances had caused. Before I had even finished the cigarette, a cop sneaks up on my rear and knocks on the driver side window. I'm thinking, bah, no worries. I can just play it off... But, I was too far gone. I couldn't tell the cop my address or phone number, or even answer simple questions without having to fight off the extremely f*cked up effects. So, cop pulls me out of the car, seeing as I wasn't any threat in my condition, he puts me in the back of his car. The next thing I remember is passing out in the back of his car. I wake up in a hospital ICU. Apparently my breathing had stopped and my heart was faintly beating. The thing is, the ambulance crew apparently had taken a look at my medical history, and determined it was a medical condition, which I do have, that can cause the effects that they observed. I didn't receive any charges because they deemed I was just having a medical problem.

 

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

 

3.0 - Last year, my girl, my friends and I were partying. Getting totally hammered on liquor. Once again, I was too far gone to remember much. Some bullsh*t went down, there ends up being an all out brawl in my home. Somehow, I ripped a door off the hinges and used it against someone after I was attacked first. Rage of an assault on myself while extremely intoxicated. I say f*ck this, and from lack of judgment, I went to my vehicle and decided to leave until sh*t would calm down. Well, I didn't know the cops had been called by someone. They knew I had left in my vehicle, and was drunk as hell. They waited for me to take about the only route out of this neighborhood. So, I see them, I know whats going on and I know I'm fixing to get harassed and arrested. Yup, bam, boom, bang. I got this cop jumping my ass, and I fought back. These guys would love to see me severely hurt or injured. Already bleeding and banged up from the drama inside my home, I was banged up pretty bad by two cops. Was arrested and booked into county jail, with a ridiculous bond. Ended up serving ten days, saw the judge and got a nice little variety of charges. Two felonies, four misdemeanors and also my drivers license was revoked. My car wasn't impounded because my sister Sarah took it for me, so the cops wouldn't impound it. A week later, I am sent my drivers license, an apology letter from the area district attorney, and all charges were dropped. All I can say is, legal connections are beautiful.

 

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

 

There are many, many more stories of run-ins with law enforcement. From being detained, to insane speeding tickets, all the way down to warnings and close calls. But, here are a few stories about my legal drama.

Then we die and end up right back in the hole again.

Holy crap! Life does suck.

Unless you make games for a living, or better yet PLAY them for moula.

One of the occupations I like as well is movie reviewers and music critics, cushy jobs!

 

Even when I was working, felt like hours were all lost with the Slave to the Grind.

I always flirted with what I could get away with, but no big offense. I also really didn't know I had lapsed insurance, I certainly can't afford all the fines, towing charges, impound, tickets. Damn!

 

@Hurricane5, That's some tale there, the boss who hired me was let go with little fanfair, someone told me he had some hard drugs, cocaine habit or something, and that was the reason. I never would have guessed it.

If you have an over-dose, it typically means you're not up and walking around, you're down for the count at Death's Door!

[Xboxless]

The only BIG run in with the law was pretty weird.

 

So here I am in the lunch line during my lunch period, I am 15, and stupid.

 

Well there is a fire alarm next to me, these fire alarms have a plastic bubble around them, so you have to take that off first and then pull on the fire alarm.

Well they don't mention that when you take off the plastic bubble that it sets off the closest alarm, so me thinking, "nothing will happen", I pull the thing off.

So the fire alarm goes off for about 2 seconds, and then I plug the bubble back on, the principal takes me to his office.

 

So after about an hour of sitting there he finally starts to talk to me, so as we are talking his assistant comes in with a bag of popcorn.

I hadn't F*cking eaten yet, so he starts eating, and I am salivating, WHILE in hand-cuffs.

 

After awhile of talking they get a police car to take me to the local juvenile prison, so as I am sitting in the back, I FALL ASLEEP!!!

Like who the crap falls asleep in a cop car, so after we get to the Juvie prison, I get put in a holding pen.

 

I was F*cking hungry, and they have a camera in the room, so I start acting out eating a burger, to show them I need food.

 

Well after getting caught at 12:00 it was 5:45, and I hadn't eaten yet, so when my mom picks me up we go to mcdonald's.

 

I had just committed a FELONY, and here I am getting a 10 piece chicken mcnuggett burger.........very very weird day.

[Slamman]

Folks love to bail their kids outta jail!

I was escorting a co-worker in and out of the workhouse, because HE was allowed to work outside at least, earn the money he needed. I don't recall what he did wrong but he was a big dude, pretty friendly though, We just called him Buffalo.

[darthYENIK]

Me and my brother once got into a fist fight in a Target parking lot. It was just two brothers, on a hot day, getting pissed, and scrapping with each other. Some f*cking nosy lady called the police. I just explained to them that we were brothers (teenagers as well, at the time), and we were just blowing off some steam. He let me off with a warning and that's that. Cops where I grew up were really cool.

 

There was this other time when me and my buddy were baked out of our minds, driving home from a party at around 1am. We got pulled over and inside we were f*cking panicking. And I am terrible at acting sober when I am stoned. Luckily it was all because of my buddy's car's registration being expired. And we drove away, with wet pants, but free men.

simular story here - except i was underage at the time so i was taken to the jail where they called my mother to pick me up. i was left there for hours, then dragged out of the jail house by my coller.

[GTA3Rockstar]

Funny enough, I just got written up a citation(ticket basically) last night because I(well my brother did) caught half the mountain, I live on, on fire from an illegal firework but we told them it was a sparkler.

[Breaking Bohan]

Slamman - I'm surprised that you would find yourself in such terrible problems. Why not buy insurance from Geico?

 

If you can't afford stuff - just ask the govt for help - start complaining to everyone and they'll help you out.

 

Sorry to hear you won't be driving - but maybe you will stay out of jail now, and maybe now you won't have to drive that earth-killing CO2 producing machine.

 

Walking is the new Green Way!

[ThaddeusMcKlown]

I've been pulled over going 115 in a 50... that is reckless endangerment, and I could easily have been arrested on the spot. Thank god for PBA cards, I walked away with a 60 in a 50 ticket.

 

This is probably my favorite story to tell, though, involving cops:

 

It was in january, up at college. A few friends decided they were going to a bar. Instead of them paying a cab there and back, I offered to drive them, provided I could borrow someone's car (Mustangs are not conducive to toting people around lol). I borrowed a freind's truck, dropped them off, and returned to my school. My roommate Joe had gotten out of hockey practice and was hungry, so we set off in my car for Dunkin Donuts.

 

On the way there, we pass a cop going in the opposite direction. I glance at my rearview, and notice he's making a U-turn. Oh sh*t, i think, here it comes. Bam, pulled over on a mostly empty street at 1 am in the cold. Cop comes over to the car, bs's with me for a while. why i was out, where I go to school, etc. I tell him the truth. I ask why I'm being pulled over: "you were speeding... 38 in a 25." I told him the truth, I thought it was a 35 zone, I could've sworn I just saw the sign. He says that the area suddenly changes to a 25 zone, and he hates pulling people over there because he thinks it's unfair.

 

Then the sh*t really hits the fan when he asks for my license and registration. I hand him my license and PBA card. I ask Joe to grab the registration... he opens the glove box and in it is my friend Liam's grinder. OH sh*t. Keep in mind, this is New Jersey, marijuana paraphenalia in a car is a felony. I was looking at going to jail.

The cop, miraculously does not see it. One problem, though: that's an expired registration. He asks for a current one. I open the glovebox... and he shines his light right on the grinder. He then asks for it. When he asks whose grinder it is, I say my friend's. He thinks I am referring to Joe, who never smokes weed. I tell him no, my friend from home left it in my car.

 

So I'm told to get out of the car. I'm asked if there's anything the officer should know about on my person. I quickly realize that I have a knife in my belt. f*ck. I tell him no... gambling with fate. He frisks me, DOESN'T FIND THE KNIFE... and asks me to take out my cigarettes. He proceeds to inspect each one of my Marlboro Lights. I'm then asked to stand with his partner...

I turn around... and now there are 4 cars total behind me, 2 with flashing sirens... and his partner is a well-built guy in a bullet proof vest HOLDING SHOTGUN. Yes, a MOTHERf*ckING SHOTGUN.

Keep in mind, it's January, and I'm wearing thin jeans and a hoodie... I'm f*cking freezing. VestMan begins to ask me questions about home and whatnot...turns out his sister lives in my town. He asks why I'm out at 1am going to Dunkin Donuts, and I told him the bar story. He approves.

When I look back, the other cop is searching Joe. Joe, of course, has nothing on him.

When the other cop is done with Joe, he comes over to inform me that he'll be searching my car. I put my foot in my mouth, and said "yeah, go ahead, I'll give my consent." WRONG THING TO SAY, PAL. The cop looks me dead in the eye and says "that was the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You are aware that I have MORE THAN ENOUGH to put you in jail for the weekend, right?" Oh sh*t. Bad is behind us... here comes worse.

 

The cop searches my car, finding a plethora of empty fast food wrappers, iced tea cans, empty cigarette boxes, and other crap. Stoner heaven, really. It had been a while since I'd cleaned it out lol. I actually here him say "what a f*cking mess this gorgeous car is, damn potheads."

He then asks me to open the trunk... in it is 4 cases of beer. Yes, 120 beers. f*ck. As soon as he picks them up, though, we both discover they're empty. I explain that at school, we can't bring the cases in in the boxes they come in. We put the loose beers in backpacks to sneak them past security. He then finds an empty can... f*ck. OPEN f*ckING CONTAINER. Just my f*cking luck. I bullsh*t him and tell him that I probably drank it in the parking lot while waiting for the "mules" (people sneaking beer past security) to return. He buys this.

 

VestMan decides to tell him about the bar story. The cop is overjoyed to hear that, while a pothead, I am sober currently and I'm trying to make sure everyone gets home safe and drinks responsibly. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. He tells me to wait in the car.

The next 10 minutes of my life lasted hours. I think Joe's exact quote was "I swear to god if we get arrested they might as well lock me up for life because I'm going to kill you."

 

Finally, the cop comes back. He tells me that he's happy to see us drinking responsibly, and that he's going to let me go because we seem like really nice guys. He's keeping the grinder, and he warns us not to run into him again.

 

So we decide, after our hearts slowed down, that we should just go to 7-11, as we're closer to it anyway. As luck would have it, it was closed. Yeah, 7-f*cking-11 was closed. What the hell?

So we go to our original destination, Dunkin Donuts. Guess who was there. Now he's pissed.

 

We ended up getting escorted back to campus by the cops... still hungry. Not fun lol.

 

 

 

 

EDIT: This is how I earned the nickname Untouchable Vic.

I had two cops pull their guns on me at once just this past Saturday. It was awesome.

 

And Thaddeus made me remember I got pulled over for going 110mph or so in a 55, but it was a 45mph construction zone by the time I was pulled over, so I was going WELL over the speed limit AND in a construction zone. He let me go.

 

I just got off court supervision, for 3 tickets from back in March, just about 2 weeks ago and I got pulled over about a week ago. Got out of the ticket.

 

Oh, and I got the cops to leave with out any problem what so every this past Saturday. Lucky, I guess?

[Bigs]

Right after I got my license in early '07 I was busted for going 93mph in a 55mph zone down a desolate highway. The cop was a real pisser and despite the fact that I was polite and showed no attitude, he temporarily cuffed me until he realized I was no threat at all. I got charged with reckless driving and a hefty fine, luckily I was able to drive home that night.

 

Around that same time, I was out with some friends just walking around town on some weekend. Town curfew for minors (I was probably sixteen or seventeen at the time) was 1am on weekends. It was probably 3am or so at the time. We see a car coming, and assuming it's a cop we take off running. He yelled for us to come back and whatnot but to no avail. Unfortunately, our fat (and ultimately, smart) friend put up no effort and sold us all out. He came across a few blocks later. Luckily, one of my friends with me that night was dating the officer's daughter so he didn't try any "resisting an officer" or anything.

 

Last year, a police officer was trailing me at night (I didn't know it was a cop) and I threw my cigarette butt out the window. Next thing I know I see flashing lights behind me and..."are you aware that you hit my cruiser??!!?". I was scared sh*tless because I had weed in my glove box at the time (where my registration is). So as he shined his flashlight in my car and asked for my registration, I discreetly knocked the bag on the floor amongst other trash. Thank goodness he didn't catch that. I could have got tagged for littering, throwing a lit object out of a moving vehicle, and underage tobacco use. The officer cooled off and just gave me a warning.

 

Pretty clean record, hopefully it'll stay as such.

[Seachmall]

I hate when people do this. They present tidbits from, what clearly is, a f*cking AWESOME story and never actually tell you what happened.

 

Why did they pull their guns on you? Pull a Mr. Bean?

 

 

[Swarz]

Bastard rozzers eh. They should all go to hell.

[Slamman]

OP you buying? No one seems to be, and my stuff DOES work, I am just up a creek with both paddles gone!

My folks won't get back to me, my sister is up camping with them, my other siblings are about half way up North where they reside, far away from where I have to deal with this situation. I had to wait for money until today, and it's still far short then what will be needed. Have to pay the impound fees, towing, police ticket, new insurance, blah blah blah.

I have no extra funds at all. Don't know what to do first, I'd love just getting my car out of the impound ASAP.

Rain is expected and I'd prefer to keep it out of my car (broken convertible window)

I also dealt with insurance. Found out it had probably took care of any balance but didn't extend it for current use. That's what sucks about the policies, if you fall short, they still charge you. Ima die in debt! For sure
