Once when I was 18 years old, I was arrested on suspicion of grand theft auto. -Spent the night in Santa Monica City jail. My cellmate stabbed someone, according the to booking officer. The fellow in the next cell was coming off heroin, alternately yelling, puking and crying thus keeping me awake the whole night. I was not charged. I was released the next day at 10:00 a.m. (it is a long story) when the FBI showed up.
Never had a speeding ticket, although I have been pulled over a couple of times for speeding and only got warnings. I have found that it doesn't pay to bullshit the cops. The most recent ticket I got was when the Lake Oswego police pulled me over and had me do a sobriety test. Although I passed the test since I had not been drinking, they gave me a ticket because I couldn't find my insurance card. The Lake Oswego police are notorious for doing this....I guess it helps keep drunks off the road, at least in Lake Oswego.
