Well it's no fun to be handcuffed... · 1:03am Dec 10th, 2013
This is completely unrelated to ponies, just an interesting story I feel like sharing.
Yeah, I was sort of arrested on Saturday night. For suspected underage drinking at a college party when the police suddenly erupted through the door. I happened to be a rather large and tall male standing kinda near the door, so the police told me to get on my stomach with my hands behind my back.
At first I was like yo I'm 20 come on. Gimme a break bro cop. Obviously that had no effect on the dude, who probably wasn't much older than me.
The good news is I was almost immediately let go because the campus police were, for whatever reason, unable to get a warrant or something to search the house I was in to collect evidence, and decided to drop obstruction of justice charges on everyone that was there that didn't let them in initially. I dunno, I didn't question it. I was just happy to be let go.
But phew... that was scary. And very lucky in the end. That would not have been good obviously, might have had to spend the night in jail. Maybe longer. And probably a lot of other crap would've happened too with my school and whatnot.
For about 5 minutes though I had real police handcuffs on my wrists behind my back, has anyone else had those on them? Those things are actually really tight and uncomfortable as hell. Like literally there still are bruises on my wrists from that.
All in all a terrifying but interesting night.
The lesson learned here is... well... don't get arrested lolz. Handcuffs suck, and I'm sure jail would've sucked too obviously. I'm quite lucky that it turned out the way it did. Prolly gonna be more careful next time I take a risk. Also gonna appreciate not being actually arrested and being free a bit more.
Nah, handcuffs don't hurt that much. Well, when not used by police. Rope's better in that situation, especially when coupled with a rubber ball on a strap. They can't tell you to stop then!
Now go have a beer!
Lol, I'm so glad I'm 22. No I haven't been arrested, but I did tackle a guy until he got arrested.
I'm glad you weren't caught. I don't think the cops have jurisdiction on the property unless a minor was seen leaving with or hanging around the property. They could knock on the door for a noise violation, but they can't enter without a warrant. Did the cops knock first? It is often the case you can deny entry until the property owner is shown a warrant.
Were you actually drinking, though? Couldn't tell from the post.
Dear Princess Celestia...
that must've been terrifing
I've had handcuffs on me twice. Once when I was like 8 and a police officer came to talk about his job. He handcuffed kids who wanted to be cuffed to see what it was like.
The other time was a not some pleasant memory a few years back after I drank a little too much and went a little crazy. Although at that time only one hand was cuffed, and that was to a stretcher to make sure I didn't go no where.
Never had full arrest on my stomach, behind the back yet.

1590995 Yeah, because I can totally go out and buy alcohol. I know it's not in the rest of the world (where it is mostly 18 I'm pretty sure), but here in the states it's universally 21. And lol wtf Lucky...
1591007 You know, I was drinking so I'm not really sure what happened honestly. I was pretty tipsy (like 5-6 shots or so of tequila) when this all occurred. If they knocked, I didn't hear them. I just remember them saying something about not having a warrant, dropping obstruction of justice charges, and then letting me go. I believe the house I was at was also technically campus property rented out to students. But yeah I only really remember bits and pieces of it now. And thanks, I'm quite glad I didn't get "caught" technically as well.
And you tackled a guy who ended up getting arrested? Tell me more
1591022 Yes, quite a bit lol. But I wasn't completely blackout drunk, I remember some of it.
1591427 One of the scariest moments of my life.
1591510 Lol. So you went to the hospital?

I can only imagine
1592228 Just because I don't have a girlfriend doesn't mean I haven't been... 'alone'.
And if you'd read... all of my stories, pretty much, you'd seen realise where my interests lie.

I was on my way to jack in the box with a friend of mine at 1:30 at night. We hear this lady yelling and look across the street and see a seven eleven clerk yelling to stop a thief.
The guy is booking it towards our side of the street and rounding the corner behind a bank, when I look over at my friend confused. "Is that guy stealing stuff?" I ask.
He nods and I have no idea why, but I sprinted across the parking lot, jumped over a hedge and tackled the guy. Now, I'm only 120 and this guy is an average big dude, so I had to kick the back of his knee out and we went tumbling.
I got up first and just rounded on the dude. "Why do you have to steal shit? You have money don't you?"
...silence and dumbfounded staring.
"Well take that shit back across the street!" Funny thing is it was just a ton of chips and jars of salsa. But it's about the principle of the thing.
...silence from mr. drunk fool, then he tries to book it, so I grab his arm and throw him again. I tell my buddy to call the police and we wait while I keep the guy's arm locked up.
This is quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever done. He could have been armed or whatever, but I just got pissed. (I had my bike stolen that had over 30000 miles on it).
Also my friend is in the air force, I have been doing martial arts for a while and had at least a knife, but damn I feel so stupid. I'll leave things to the cops in the future.
I would make a fuck the police joke, but I won't. Well, lucky you.
1592228
Yeah, something like that. It was a hell of a night and I'll leave it at that.

1592406 Jack in the Box? You must be from the west coast lolz. I wish those existed in the midwest...
And nice going dude, that almost seems like something that would happen in MLP haha.
1595098Lol maybe Applejack or an OC self insert sort of scenario.
If you aver find yourself in Washington, try out the Jacks Spicy crispy chicken sandwich. It's my favorite. If your remotely close to Seattle, then send me a message here. I drove for an hour and a half to meet a brony from this site and we saw Djengo unchained with our girlfriends on a double date.
1596083 Haha, I live in the Chicago area, so I'm a bit far unfortunately. But yeah if I ever find myself around Seattle in the near future, I'll let you know. The same goes for you if you find yourself around Chicago if you like. You really enjoy meeting up with other bronies don't you XD.
A few weeks ago I actually met up with another dude on this site who also lived in Chicago at a restaurant. He saw me mention on a blog post I believe that I was from around Chicago, and he sent me a PM saying we should hang out, and I was like why the hell not. 'Twas pretty sweet.
And Django Unchained was a damn good movie, haha.
