Have You Ever Been Arrested?

Nope, never been arrested.

My tyrannical, bullying math teacher tried to give me detention once: I ended up having a breakdown because of it (and a bunch of other stuff that was going on that my delicate teenage mind couldn't handle on top of being ill and having PMS) so I got off school for the next two days (my mother was convinced I had some sort of mental illness like depression and wanted to get me therapy but I said no, as I'm not mentally ill), filed a complaint about my math teacher and was told there was nothing the school could do about it even though they had other complaints about him. He's dead now. I'm glad he's dead. He can't torment anyone ever again. I had to get a private tutor for my maths classes. I ended up acing the class, no thanks to the teacher, but I never wanted to study maths again. Teachers are supposed to be supportive, not complete pricks. He's the only teacher I even hated, and I loved school.

Once I followed a car doing an illegal left turn and got flagged down by cops. They let me off with a warning because I was on my provisional license and had followed someone else. The dude I followed had to go the police station and pay a fine.

I've never had a speeding ticket, but I've had a few parking tickets, and I've been breathalysed more times than I can count - it's always been zero.

Yeah, I'm boring even to me. Courtesy of living a sheltered life.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot the time a cop followed me for two kilometres when I had a car full of pizza and people as it was my friend's birthday, and I was freaking out and driving to the limit and indicating and everything, I was driving AWESOME. So I turn up the road to go to my friend's house and the cop turns on his lights. I freak out and pull over. All my friends are saying, "It's fine, it's fine, don't worry!" Because I have no idea what I was doing wrong.

I got my license ready as he walks up to me, unwind my window, and catch the last part of the radio saying the car was registered to my parents. I agreed with him, and told them my parents official titles (they are powerful, where I come from). He quickly put the radio away and didn't even ask to see my license. I offered, and he said no. LOL. Then he turned to my friend in the back seat behind me and asks her why she's not wearing her seatbelt. She said she forgot. She's 21. I swore in front of the cop. I was so mad. I wasn't in trouble, and because my friend had just got off work and looked exhausted, the cop took pity on her and let her off with a warning. Then he gave me a little lecture about how most crashes happen within 2 km of a house (we were on the other side of the house's driveway, that's how close we were) and then he let me go.
