What's the most ridiculous/stupid thing you've ever had a run-in with the cops over?

I got fined for being naked on an Australian beach at 6am.

I've also been fined for pissing in public.

But the icing on the cake is when I was questioned over commiting ABH(actual bodily harm) with a roll of Christmas wrapping paper.

How about you?

 

I was handcuffed and dragged back to my high school. It was the last day, my dad had signed me out of school and I had walked down to the creek behind the school to let a pet frog go. Anyways some dumb bitch told the rent-a-cop at the school that I had a bomb and he called the police.

My dad was trying to tell them that I was letting a frog go...I had already repeatedly told them that and they told him to shut up, that they would talk to him later. They finally saw that I had indeed just been freeing a pet, told me to go and didn't say a damn thing to the girl that said I had a bomb. Why? Because they didn't like my appearance and the cheerleader simply made an honest mistake....yeah right.

 

She will die when she mistakes a bomb for a poor harmless frog. Cheerleaders

 

I almost got arrested for having "open alcohol" in my car, I was bringing a bag of pop cans and beer cans to recycle them to make money and put fish in the lake here and I got pulled over for 5 over and I guess one of the cans fell on my seat and it just happened to be a beer can (my luck) and he seen it and freaked out but after a few phone calls, he let me go thankfully

 

we parked a car to fool around and the cops pulled over, checked us and everything.... flashlights and shit... hubby didnt even have a valid license

 

my friend and i went to a 24 hour diner at like 4am after drinking all night and decided to seat ourselves in a section that was roped off. the waitress told us we couldn't sit there, my friend exchanged words with the waitress, the waitress decided she wasn't going to help us so we decided to help ourselves to the breakfast buffet. when she kept giving us a hard time we walked out and went to my house. 10 minutes later the cops were knocking on my window and we stumbled out to talk to them, they questioned us about it and it ended up they said we had to pay them and could dispute it with the restaurant the next day. since neither one of us had cash to give the cops, my friend had to write a check for 15 bucks lol.

 

Well there was about 5 years the DEA thought I was a drug smuggler.

Wounder where they got that idea from.

That is pretty much the sum of my run In's with cops.

 

Similar to my story... I got pulled over for speeding on the freeway. I was on my way back from a bbq earlier that day, so there was an ice chest in the back full of empty beer bottles and cans. The cop wanted to search the suv. I had no prob with that, cause i didn't do anything wrong. He opened the ice chest and said he was gonna run me in for having an "open container accessible to the driver." I had to tell him there was no way i could reach the ice chest from my seat because my arm is not 4 feet long, and the bottles were empty anyway. He let me go, but took the empty bottles. Weird.

 

Breaking into an empty building.

 

I got pulled over for beeping my horn.

 

What were you doin' breaking into an empty building? :rofl:

 

I suppose this isn't as interesting or as funny as getting caught naked on a beach or with a frog bomb. The rougher high schools in Australia have crews of guards patrolling the grounds on the night before graduation to help catch pranksters from rival schools etc. My friends and I were sneaking around the grounds of my school just for the fun of avoiding being caught, at one point we actually got to pet a lone guard dog, no joke. At one point we had to bolt out of the school and when a guard came close, he saw us and sent out a car with a spotlight and some dogs to search for us. We sneaked into a friend's front yard and wrote all kind of messages on their driveway in chalk and we hid in the bushes every time the car came past. Eventually a guy with a dog came along and it sniffed us out. The fucked up thing is that one of the guys told the guards that we had been reading Wilbur Smith novels and we were practicing to be Kalahari Bushmen. The guards were assholes. They called the police and detained us like we were complete scum. Then when the cops arrived they thought the whole thing was hilarious and let us off with a verbal warning.

Interestingly, all of the other people that were caught sneaking around were banned from taking their final exams at the school, except us. We were all high achievers and I don't think they wanted to fuck up our chances, lest bring down the school's total grade.

 

It seemed like a good idea at the time.
We didn't know it was empty till we had jumped down into building (from the roof).
Then realised it was empty.
Then realised it was locked from the outside.
Then realised we'd need to be spidermen/women to get back out of the building.
Then realised somebody had seen us enter.
Then realised the police were on our collective asses.
