Have you ever been arrested?

Have you done any jail time?

I'm just curious.

I haven't. I'm a goody goody, I guess. Worst thing to happen to me with the law was $100 ticket for turning left on red (it was totally amber!!).

Nope. My worst was similar to yours, but I actually turned left on a green light, but you weren't supposed to turn left between certain hours on certain days. Stupidest $100 ticket ever. I did get a ticket for speeding last year too (45 in a 30 I think) and had to do traffic school to get it off my record.

nope!

Not even close although there have been several speeding tickets that involved traffic school or a lawyer to get rid of -- I have a bit of a lead foot.

Nope, though I did get chased by the police when they broke up a party I was at. I was 17 and at my family's beach house on this tiny island. I snuck out of the house and met some guys, and stupidly let them take me to a party on the end of the island. The cops came and started to chase everyone. I ran and had to jump into the bay to hide. It took me hours to find my way home, soaking wet and covered in mosquito bites. But at least it makes for an amusing story now!

No, but I did get an underage drinking ticket once. It cost me 8 hours of community service. I wasn't wasted or anything, but I was drinking before a Marshall football game. Oh well. Live and learn.

Nope. My dad was a police officer (now retired) so I was always WAY too scared to do anything.

I was in the car with someone who was arrested though. My ex-boyfriend was driving, his buddy Curtis was in the front seat and my ex's sister and I were sitting in the back. Curtis had been drinking a LOT, leaned his head out the car and yelled "F***********k the poooooolice" like a drunken idiot at a group of officers that we passed so of course, we got stopped. I didn't realize it when we got in the car but Curtis had an open can of beer in his hand. The officer found it, arrested him and let the rest of us go. I was completely freaking out the whole time.

Nope, but here's my favorite "run in with the police" story:

Imagine if you will a Thursday morning around 2:30 a.m. A dorm room on the ground floor. A group of college freshman crowded in the living room. The door flies open, and three campus police officers storm in ready to bust us for throwing a party...only to find us all play UNO. Stone cold sober. Eating Red Vines and drinking Diet Coke.

We used to be very serious about our card games.

SBS, that is hilarious! Was there a noise complaint to draw their attention or something like that?

For me, nope. A couple of speeding tickets and a warning for "following too closely", but that's it. I'm a goody goody, plus run ins with the law could ruin my career.

This is flipping hysterical!! I can totally picture the shock on their faces.

No. Being on the ground floor, it was always a risk for us. They just said they heard/saw us as they were making their rounds. Seriously, there were about 16 of us crammed into a tiny dorm living room playing multiple rounds of UNO. They kinda looked like they felt bad for us -- like, the one guy's face looked like "Really? You're not drinking? You're playing UNO and eating candy? You do know this is college, right?" haha.

Devil

I was 17 and a friend and I decided to go to a bar and shoot some pool, have a few beers, etc. She was 24 but we looked almost identical. There was no door man, it was just a dive bar and my friend was buying all of the drinks. The undercover officer thought I looked "questionable" and asked for my ID. I didn't have one on me so they took me to the station, gave me a ticket, and called my mom. Because I was under 18, I had to pay a fee and take a class. Record clean on my 18th birthday!

Then there are the speeding and parking tickets.

Nope, I'm a total goodie goodie. I did have a parking ticket or two at my college.
