A friend and I got arrested and spent two days in jail for having a really small amount of w33d. This happened right as the Beastie Boys started playing at Lollapalooza in 1994, how we got singled out of the massive crowd of people is still a mystery to me.

I never really did anything all that illegal because I was afraid of getting busted and my parents were kind of hardasses. I had a bunch of friends who were really into stupid shit - stealing hood ornaments and license plates, breaking into cars, stealing fire extinguishers, and so on but I always kind of excused myself when this stuff started to happen. One of these dudes ended up torching an abandoned car (which he got away with) and then breaking thirty grand worth of windows at our old high school, which earned him 30 days in jail. He's a lawyer now.

when i was a teenager someone called the cops on a friend & i for putting bottle rockets in mailboxes -- i guess other stuff i did as a kid like egging houses & cars probably fits in there too -- also we once went into the screened in patio of our friends' grandmother's house at night & stole alcohol

My brother has been such a criminal all his life that I've kind of walked the straight and narrow to spare my mother anymore heartache. Which is too bad, because I'd really kind of like to find a local w33d supply, but oh well. I'm sure I'll become one of those decrepit ancient dopers after my parents pass on and smoke gets legalized.

I got arrested when I was 17 for illegal entry. I was walking around in July & saw an elementary school with a window open. Remembering that the toilets used to be smaller for the littler kids, I went in through the window to test my memory. When I left the school out the window again, I got asked by an old man if I'd just been in the school. This is the stupid part: the stupid part is I answered honestly. I got arrested, and went through the world's easiest "diversions program." The old man in charge of rehabilitating me wasn't very impressed by my crime, as my punishment was to write a book report, draw him a picture, and "no slumber parties for two weeks."

No way am I talking about illegal things I've done as an adult.

wait, the only reason you entered the school was to see if the toilets were smaller?

Bogart Puff 'n Stuff (Cattle Grind), Saturday, 24 April 2010 19:07 (fourteen years ago) link

Yes...I can't think of any other reason to enter an elementary school I didn't attend. The only reason I got off so easy is I didn't touch/steal/fuck up anything.

kissogram powers (Abbott), Saturday, 24 April 2010 19:13 (fourteen years ago) link

hmm. the worst school related thing I did was go into the catwalk and smash things with a 2x4. I had a very angsty senior year. and for my band's only performance ever at a showcase of the bands, we warmed up by destroying folding chairs and other things up there.

nothin wild, shoplifting, w33d, broke into a couple holiday homes 1 summer for "parteez" (smoking loads of hash)

most illegal thing i've ever done was live with a bf who was growing about 30 pot plants in a 'hidden' room in our apartment - we didn't have a car and one time we were bringing home something like 10 bags of potting mix and the cabdriver was all 'so you live in this apartment building and you have a garden??'.

i pretty much lived in fear of being caught every single day and i don't/didn't even hardly smoke w33d (my drug-taking days were actually already over by the time i met this guy).

never saw a dime of fucking profit, either, despite all the hours i spent cutting buds off.

oh and criminal damage but they didn't press charges because my character was vouched for - goddamn do I need to control my temper sometimes

both of the above^^ within about 3 months of each other - 2005 was a fucking illegal year -_-

xp it wasn't funny at the time! it was horrendous! ohhhh AND there was the time i was making the bed and found a fucking GUN under the mattress! he claimed it wasn't real and only used it for 'protection' but i picked it up and it felt pretty fuckin real.

so yeah: manufacture and supply of class b (?) drugs; unlicensed possession of a firearm were two charges i managed to avoid.

i beat two people up past the age of 18, when its not considered cute anymore. one case was pretty much self-defence, one wasnt. neither resulted in legal action.

Drove a car into and wrecked a fence on a mini roundabout, I guess that could be criminal damage. Wasn't even my own car, but I made good the damage on that. Wasn't drunk btw, but it was 1am and my passengers were and I was going far too fast to brake in time, so ploughed through the middle.

this was all years ago. nothing beyond a bit of w33d @ this pt. cuz i never got caught for any of ^^ i always think that if i do anything, anything, i'll be caught surely because i probably deserve it, to even things out

i still don't know what "most illegal" means. biggest possible punishment? most morally repugnant?

stealing a purse is pretty repugnant, ronnie

I farted after 6 pm in a public place on Thursday.

Bogart Puff 'n Stuff (Cattle Grind), Sunday, 25 April 2010 16:05 (fourteen years ago) link

which is apparently illegal in my home state (god, I think they were taking the piss when writing these laws)

Bogart Puff 'n Stuff (Cattle Grind), Sunday, 25 April 2010 16:06 (fourteen years ago) link

I am skeptical that is actually a law.

I WAS busted, however, for stealing an Aerosmith tape from Kmart when I was 13.

I was 15, and I was busted stealing a tape of The Smithereens 11 from KMart.

Jack Human (kenan), Sunday, 25 April 2010 18:19 (fourteen years ago) link

I always loved the police report section of the local paper, esp. because half the crimes listed happened at 2100 E. 17th Street, aka the mall. The best thing was they'd always list what the person stole. "Arrested for shoplifting four 'fashion rings.'" "Arrested for shoplifting a Snoop Doggy Dogg cassette." "Arrested for stealing an Insane Clown Posse CD."

Walter Melon (Abbott), Sunday, 25 April 2010 18:25 (fourteen years ago) link

that's why you gotta steal good stuff.

nobody wants TheSmokingGun to report that you were "Arrested for shoplifting Pat Boone's In a Metal Mood"...

Bogart Puff 'n Stuff (Cattle Grind), Sunday, 25 April 2010 18:29 (fourteen years ago) link

stole £20 from the petty cash in the school reception office when left alone in there at 14. fucking stupid looking back on it. but i was never caught, and as far as i knew, nobody found out.

is smoking weed more illegal than that?

otherwise i have been a good boy.

tell us what jail was like

I got sick and couldn't complete my work release for the DWI (being under 21 and catching one sucks extra hard, FYI). So I wound up finishing it in county after a while (ie after they figured out that I hadn't completed my sentence).

Food sucked. Company ranged from not terrible to horrible. The library cart was well stocked with Patricia Cornwell and Stephen King. Wound up playing a lot of spades with wannabe gangsters (and a few real ones).

I smoked weed exactly one time in 1997.

I was once in a room where white people were smoking weed while listening to a Bob Marley compilation album. That kind of self conscious early 90's proto hipsterism should have been illegal.

I had a phase where making rent was tough so I stole quite a lot of groceries. And also a bottle of jack once. Never ever caught, white privilege.
