My experience with the police happened when I was 14...I had decided to try and impress my friend (who I was meeting later for a campout in her grandfather's backyared) by bringing alcohol....I went to a local drugstore called Super-X and I shoplifted a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20...pretty stupid, eh? Needless to say, I got caught, and the store pressed charges and I was led from the store in handcuffs...pretty traumatic thing for me. When my mom finally came and got me, I was so scared. I said "Mom, thank God you're here!" and she spat back at me "I ought to let you rot in here!" My parents were less than amused that their pristine, never-got-into-trouble-good-student-girl-scout daughter had gotten herself arrested.... Well, anyway, the cop who arrested me was less than sympathetic, but he did his job. Looking back, I have no complaints about his treatment of me. I deserved what I got, and let me tell you, it taught me a lesson I shall not soon forget....the only bad memories I have of the whole situation center around the situation, not the cop who was just doing his job and arresting a teenager for petty theft. Only other meetings with the police have been two speeding tickets....*shrug* C'est la vie! My two cents of a dollar.... Dee
