Spend a night doing hard time for hopping the D train. (Tresspassing.) I had to see a judge the next day.

I talked to a lawyer before seeing the judge, and she said to plea innocent and I can show up at a later date. When the judge asked me how do I plea, I was like "I dunno...she told me to plea innocent, but I did it and don't feel like lying."

The judge threw it out because he thought I was a moron.

Dude, you are a moron.

I have a DWI. Dialing While Intoxicated.

I was sentenced to not call my ex-girlfriends when I was drunk and fapping asking if they could guess what I was doing.

<looks around...raises hand>

3 felony narcotics convictions,
one arrest for 1st degree assault. (attempted murder)

Good lawyer got that negotiated down to 3rd degree assault and I did 1 year in the county jail for all of the above.

Telephone, credit card and computer fraud, back in the good old '80's when BBS's and blue boxes were the thing.

I was under 18, but I did get a visit from the feds.

I think I may quickly become one if this fuckin prick down the hall doesn't stop clearing his throat literally constantly. I swear he should get tested for throat cancer.

That picture you posted of the long-hair in his 50's , if that was you,
you look like a guy that's been around the piss-pot a time or two. No offense intended.

for those of you that have been to jail (BoomerD, et al) what do you do now for work? I'm curious how it's effected your ability to complete an education, and find work.

Why are you curious? You know someone getting out of prison soon?

Yeah, that was me...and no offense taken.

I've seen the elephant a time or two...

MrMatt...I worked heavy construction for more than 30 years.

Now, after a career-ending injury, I've retrained as a bookkeeper/accounting clerk and do bookkeeping for a CPA firm part time.

AFAIK, other than preventing me from working in a school facility or hospital, the only time my felonies have kept me from a job was a construction job in a secure facility at Lawrence Livermore Labs about 10 years ago...which I was actually glad I didn't get because the pricks only worked 8 hours per day/5 days per week...and I prefer at least 10 hours/6 days per week.

During my last 10 or so years in construction, I averaged about $85K/year.

Did some bad when i was young like less than 16. Almost killed someone with a knife. Stole cars. Ran over someone with a car. Fought all the time. Did every drug know to man then I had a wake up call at 16. Got into sports and wrestling seemed to change my life around. Now I just shoot upland game and four legged animals. Never in the back of a police car as an adult. I sponsor FOP now and hang out with cops hunting and fishing. Would'nt mind being a cop but I'd kill suspects after stories I hear about scumbags with children.

One of my younger brothers has been in and out of prison all his life. He's a plumber and has no problem getting work at $30+ an hour upon release. Once he even owned his own firm (with backing from my parents) but being a tard put it all up his nose. And no accounting fucked himself with IRS. There is definitely second chances and opportunity if one can follow straight and narrow. He couldn't and seems to like prison too much. He actually told me once "I can't handle the outside, I'm gonna do something that gets me locked up" :rolleyes:

Never arrested but was detained for 4 hours because I got caught with a bag of pot. Small town, cops werent assholes, I wasnt an asshole. All I got was a lecture from the chief of police and had to flush the pot. That was in the late 70's. I dont think I'd be as lucky today.

Nope. Talked my way out of so many drug arrests I had more than one acquaintance that was convinced I was a police informant. :oops:

The one time they popped me (Quaaludes and PCP) I was a couple of months shy of 21 and my lawyer got them to prosecute me under a special statute as a youth which wiped out any record of my conviction if I went through probation clean. Those were the good old days (70s).

Had an arrest warrant out for me, once. I was 18, driving in NH and got into a car accident while I had no insurance (Insurance not required in NH, I was stupid to drive without but for whatever reason NH's fine with you hanging yourself that way) and gave the guy my info. His insurance company won't take payments, so I say "fine, fuck you" and proceed to ignore every letter I'd gotten from them for over 3 years. Then the letters are coming from the county where I live. I still ignore them.

Long story short, they'd sued me, won by default because I didn't show up, then the court sent me a demand to appear for I guess payment arrangements, I still don't know what it was but I never opened THAT letter either, so finally I get a letter from the Sheriff's department informing me a warrant was out for my arrest and that I should surrender myself. Almost literally pissing myself, I go to the courthouse, and they say "Just sign here promising to show up for the next court date and get outta here" Apparently arrest warrants for a failure to appear aren't terribly serious, turned out I was scared shitless for no reason. That's the closest brush I ever had with the law.

When I was 14, my friend showed me some program he had that would randomly generate credit card numbers. He gave it out to tons of people, online shopping wasn't really around back then but we did manage to snag a few subscriptions to some early porn sites. I used it for like 6 months, never got caught, then finally saw some random web site that explained how fucking seriously illegal what we were doing was. I took out my hard drive and smashed it with a rock, I remember doing that.

Jesus I was a retarded kid.
