Story 10 is such a sad story. He’s clearly an individual with integrity but knows he has a problem but made a mistake, the people around him seem to know it, and he owned up to it whereas a genuinely bad person would have chose to get off scott free. It seems like he uses the drugs to self medicate and maybe wanted to use jail time as a chance for him to get sober. I hope he got clean.

As a security officer, I've seen *one* time where a person literally got himself arrested and then convicted for simple trespass out of sheer stubbornness. Literally all he had to do was move *fifteen feet* to be off the property, and he *absolutely refused to do it*. Even when the police officer literally told him, "I just called for backup. If you are still here whenhe other car gets here, you're going to jail." He was subsequently offered a slap on the wrist plea bargain for misdemeanor trespass, and *refused that too*. He insisted on taking it to court. He demanded a *jury*. And since it was literally straight up witnessed by myself and two police officers, there was absolutely no question about things and he was convicted.

9:46 Some states in the US have these old as hell laws banning swearing in public that have been around for at least a century, and nobody in the state legislature wants to have to go through all the state laws to filter out the old ones and move to remove them because A. it's a pain in the ass, and B. every single one has to go through a similarly lengthy process as adding a new law in order to be removed (in some cases you can't even remove them at all, you just have to pass a new law that makes the old one null and void) which wastes time that could be spent making new laws. In my state most people more or less ignore them (cops included) but you can actually get charged for it.

The same can be said about other laws that share similarities like laws along the lines of sexual misconduct not differentiating between rape with penetration and rape without while other states do make clear distinctions between the two.

[@firefly3003]

​@Hypercube2017 I have to agree with what JLense said. I went to an Agricultural College for a Wildlife Management degree and all the Wildlife Law Enforcement students were unilaterally hated ("strongly disliked" was the terminology the professors used) by everyone in the department. Before they even graduated, a lot of them had giant sequoias up their asses and would often be more openly inappropriate (racist, sexist, overall more creepy towards female classmates/professors) compared to the other students and just had that "I'm more superior because I'm going into law enforcement" attitude. That's not to say everyone is like that, but I didn't see a single person who was in that major who wasn't so there's that. In a lot of places, Game Wardens don't have to follow the guidelines that police officers have to do either if they work for a federal agency and not a state one. They're almost an entirely separate entity compared to actual law enforcement and often you won't see punishments handed out to them like you do with an everyday police officer or state trooper. It's kind of crazy, but from personal experience most of the long term officers are either the nicest people you'll ever meet or the equivalent of someone who views that everyone else owes them something for them existing.

[@Vincent_Beers]

The cops asking the drunk to stop swearing were checking if the person had reasonable self control to be let go. Since he kept swearing they arrest for drunk and disorderly because they can't trust that he won't be a danger to himself or others. They don't care that he's swearing, they care that he's not currently self aware enough to be in public.

The time between the tickets to the court date, there would be no human way to gain 160 pounds and have all of the tattoos removed... A warrant was issued to his brother.... Their mom was pissed that my dad didn't just pay for the tickets.... Who cares he was placed in handcuffs in front of his kids, and they could have been stranded on the side of the road....

I went to my ex's house to make sure my kids were okay while they were being evicted and to attempt to offer to take the kids home with me until he could find other accommodations. He refused my help, tried to first fight his older brother (they were evicting him from his mother's house which was in the process of being sold after paying him $6K to move 8-9 mos prior), took the kids and walked to a nearby park. I went with them to continue trying to get him to let me take the kids home with me until he could find housing. He responds that he had a car they could sleep in until he could go "fix this mess" the following day cause he's swore up and down his mom gave HIM the house. Oh, and the car was ALSO his mom's and was still in the driveway. An hour after we all went to the park, he says he'd be right back he had to check the mail and park the car on the street. He got caught trespassing and the dumbass had also broken into the house to retrieve his drugs once the cops left. So he had possession of drugs added to it. Yeah, I got full legal and physical custody of the kids a few months later.

Yep. swearing is not an arrestable offence, even less arrestable is swearing at a cop or other public official (double 1a protected, free speech and seeking redress for grievances).

Mind you i was in 3rd grade and was an absolute goody two-shoes. So i went back and right as i was leaving them there is when the cop showed up. Obviously i wasnt believed by the cop. She brought all of us to my step-dad and asked if we were his. He pointed at me and said i was his, that he was watching my cousin, and where to go to find the friend's mom. Needless to say, i almost got grounded for two weeks like the other two, but since i told the truth, which my step-dad could back part of it up, i got off of groundation.

Story 11 - How is swearing illegal? I'm pretty sure those charges would have got thrown out as no city bylaw supersedes the First Amendment. Swearing is one form of expression which falls under the protections of the First Amendment in the USA, so the government cannot infringe on someone's right to swear. If it happened in Canada it falls under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and only if the swearing was causing a clear disturbance to the public could section 175 of the Criminal code be used. In this case section 175 would not be applicable as the man was not causing a disturbance to the wider public. I hate it when police officers don't even know the most basic principles of the law and waste tax payer's money and the court's time doing a stupid arrest because it offended them.

Not my story and not an arrest story, is an instant regret story, also, not in the US so some details might seem strange to you, many years ago, when my mother was in high school, she got some financial aid, she needed to cash it out in the state bank, that closes at 2pm, she was using her lunch hour to get the money, so, she goes to the bank, but she has little time, she needs to get back to the house, so she skips the line, and then she hears something like "who is your father that didn't taught you to respect the line?" My grandfather was right there, he said that knowing it was his daughter, she never skips lines now, even when she is rightfully entitled to go first, like during the pandemic (because she is a nurse, it was part of the measures to reduce spread rate and to reduce butnout), I am kinda worried that ehen she gets to 90 she is still not going to use the preferential lines.

"Lawyers of Reddit, what was the stupidest thing a client did that lost you the case?" "Not a lawyer, or client, or juror, or resident of the area, nor do I know anyone of the people involved, nor am I a resident of the country where it happened, nor am I a human. But-"

The last one should not have had his guns taken as there is no reason for thwarting ATF to 1. Make a rule about misuse of tannerite being illegal 2. It is a bit extreme to give a full charge for 1 joint and 3. An argument could be made that the officer who arrested him could have been in the wrong for a profiling case due to the basketball shorts worn by a white male being one of the primary reasons of suspicion of drug possession (the initial reason for the arrest and the reason for the raid) as there was no evidence that he had drugs ie no drug induced intoxication and no drug paraphernalia.

I worked overnights at a gas station in a fairly small town. At least once a night the overnight shift of the local police department would stop in - all two officers, to drink some coffee and hang out for a little while. One night, while these two officers are there, a young woman comes in, and starts intensley inspecting our rack of 5hr energy bottles we have up at the sales counter. Doesn't say hi, doesn't make a sound - I can already tell that she's in her own little world, and drugs of some flavor are at play. After some time inspecting the bottles, she moves onto our beer cooler, opens one of the doors, and starts browsing the 24 oz cans of beer, White Claw and the like. Only problem was we stopped selling alcohol about an hour and a half ago. So, in order to save myself the effort of having to restock, I call out "No beer!" She continues So I walk over there and explain, to her face, that we're no longer selling alcohol - still it's as she barely knew I was there. At this point I resigned myself to putting any alcohol back, that she'd ultimately bring up to the counter. Of course, now there were two additional sets of eyes on her. So when she decided to try sneaking behind an endcap, and hide the two cans of White Claw under her hoodie, the older of the two cops, rushed over, and ordered her to lift up her hoodie - when she did, he confiscated the cans and just verbally went off on her. With equal parts annoyance and incredulousness that she'd try shoplifting beer with two cops inside such a relatively small store. Needless to say her high was ruined, and either due to honestly not feeling well, or in an attempt to avoid (temporarily) to be arrested, she requested an ambulance.

Almost 40 years ago a friend of mine who was in the county jail was washing cop cars and decided to take one to a nearby liquor store and steal a bottle of vodka, all while wearing an orange jail jumpsuit, he got caught, but we laughed about it a few years later,

[@kyze8284]

The beer can at 4:00 was just like... "I don't care, just don't litter" turned into "fine, screw your life up over a littering ticket and we look further into you because you wanted to litter" Dang, of course the ATF would knock on his door because of youtube while making an excuse of why they arrested and broke down his door

[@BoiBoi225]

can we remove the background music (or maybe replace it with ambient/less noticeable background sound)? I have no idea why it irks me as much as it does

[@kitemaywilder1792]

atleast the arsonist was honest, which ain't stupid

Story 11 sounds like they live in Italy. In Italy it's illegal to swear in public

[@AlexRising_]

40:04 I got cuffed and released for similar reasons. I had a similar height and build to the woman they wanted, and our names were freakishly close (like if my name was Scarlett Johansson, hers was Scarlet Johansen). Years later she was arrested for identity theft after stealing a credit card, and the man she stole from testified against her in court. The man she testified against is now my fiancé. We had no clue until two years deep into the relationship.

[@fennecfox4019]

(Story start, 8:24) 9:38 I am unsure of what city this story took place in, but around Virginia beach it is a class 3 misdemeanor to swear in public, punishable by a $250 fine. They even have signs up, I found it quite funny when I saw it for the first time.

A family member of a close friend of mine is an H addict. And I mean long term H addict as he is way in his 50s today and started young. Knowing this guy and knowing and his life and there will never be a way for him to undo how the drug messed him up and how he is stuck with either being high or physically and mentally miserable. I like to think that kid might've seen his current situation and how he tried to steal from his nice neighbours for drugmoney and took it as his wakeup call. I certainly think that he did himself a favor: 7 years of prison will probably treat him better than 7 years(and at that point probably the rest of his life) of H abuse. Hope he stays clean after this.

[@tanyagarcia3721]

There was this one old guy that I ran into that was half whacked out his brain that was facing off a local rtd train once that I called the cops on to help him

[@pi_man3]

I want to know what happened to the guy on story 10, like did he get off drugs

[@FlameDarkfire]

9:50 usually there’s also a charge for abuse of a city employee

[@SirberusKhaos]

swering loudly in pblic is usually disturbing the peace. something like that. disorderly conduct. things like that. also could be interfering with an emergency responder on the job.

[@Soulpanda98]

9:58 im tempted to clip this out of context

[@katelb3508]

Youre probanly right about the H addict. A lot of times theres a "moment of clarity" qhere they finally do something weirdly right. He prob was desperate to get off the H. Its brutal. (Former addict myself)
