Ever Been Arrested While Kilted?

[McMurdo]

This Thread was pulled off the forum for review recently and has just now been reinstated. Lets please not have a litany of Criminal charges being discussed, this was not and is not the intent of the original poster.

If this thread does degrade down that road it will be pulled and not reinstated.

Umm yes...

Remember those long days of yesteryear when a lad's courage could take my then his head for drink????

Just click "yes" for me. I'm just very thankful Chicago cops have a good sense of humor

I've been careful to not do things that would get me arrested. I have no desire to see the inside of a jail.

I got arrested once, about a year ago. I was doing something stupid (exploring an abandoned factory), but they tried to get us for felony burglary (we hadn't taken anything.) Luckily the charges were dropped and I was charged with just "criminal mischief", which is a misdemeanor.

I spent ten days in county jail, which was the most awful experience ever. Four people crammed into a cell designed for two (I had to sleep on a mat on the floor, next to the head.) No books, no nothing. Luckily I wasn't kilted, but either way, it was an awful experience.

Nope - never been arrested, wearing a kilt or pants. (And I don't ever intend to do anything that would put me in that situation.)

However, I'm working on a book with a friend, and there are four scenes in which folks are either arrested, searched, jailed, waiting in holding, or etc. I've done some research and I understand the process - but I wish I had a better understanding for what it feels like (being in cuffs, searched, etc) and the emotions involved. It would definately add to the book. No, I'm not crazy; proper emotional response and accurate descriptions just make books better.

(If you have specific information for me to consider, rather than clog up the thread, send me an email, im or pm.)

Nope, only searched at security check points.

Same here. But they did have a lot of questions as to where my sgian was. I don't carry one anywhere where I'll be checked for just that reason.

No - but I once spent a weekend in the stocks due to my moral depravity...

But that, as they say, is another story...

Never been arrested, thankfully, but I'm not sure how the cell-mates would react to a kilt. You do hear these stories about prison!
