well I got arrested

I was at my brother's place late tonight and at around 1AM I discovered my car no longer wanted to drive. Since I only live 3 miles from him I decided to walk home.

At 2AMish about 3 minutes from house a police officer pulls up next to me. Standard series of questions, only 1 problem it seems I have some old parking tickets from when I was in college about 3 years ago. It turns out the city of Corvallis frowns on such things and had put a warrant out for my arrest about a year ago.

Next thing I know I'm cuffed, in the back of the squad car and headed for a night in jail. I'll confess I was a bit concerned.

Luckily my local PD was able to contact the corvallis people who handle such things and right before I was getting booked they decided to let me off with a citation.

The cop was really cool which was a plus.

That's really sucks that there was a warrant out for you, and you had no idea.

Yes infact I remarked to the officer that they should really let one know about these things, perhaps by mail. He said they probably didn't have my current address.

Did you think you needed an engraved invitation to pay your multiple parking tickets?

smokingrobot · #7 08-05-2005, 06:35 AM

No and I'm not complaining.

What did you do to get stopped?

This is why I hate cops. [censored] randomly questioning citizens without cause is bullshit.
