    Cuffed for skinny dipping in a public pool in Australia.

    Apologies from me and my attractive swimming partner AND a charitable donation to the local police beer fund....

    And everyone went their seperate ways happy/relieved :D

    So to answer the question, Almost.

    Is it a bad sign if myself and all the District Court judges are on a first name basis?

    (Nah, I'm kidding. I've never been caught)

    Everyone should get caught for something, it looks good on the CV and it's not like you'll actually end up in prison or anything.

    I've been detained, brought in for questioning. But arresting assumes you've been read your memorandum rights and put in a cell of some form. To which I definitely have not.

    Miranda warning.

    A word of advice, if you are arrested, do not speak. Not a word, just to be sure you don't incriminate yourself by saying anything that they might find useful.

    Never been arrested.

    you obviously haven't as the correct GARDA caution is "you are not obliged to say anything unless you wish to do so but whatever you say will be taken down in writing and may be given in evidence" and no guard says that when their arresting anyway :D

    never been arrested, few close calls, thank god cos i couldn't do what i do if i did!!!!!

    Because your a guard?

    Spent six months in prison.

    I headbutted a guy who sexually abused my younger sister.


    He never served a day in prison.

    Justice - Irish style.

    You did a lot more than headbutt him to get 6 months.

    No, just headbutted him. Broke his nose.

    It may have been the fact that it was in a packed courtroom that went against me....

    I served 6 months.

    To be honest it wasnt all that bad, dont get me wrong, its not a nice place, not at all, but its possible to get by. I just kept my head down and my mouth shut. And the prison officers were sound.

    The only time I have been in a garda station was to apply for my driving licence. I'm very good.

    Or a criminal.

    Been threatened with arrest, had to bribe police a few times (but par for the course in a lot of South East Asia to be fair) - I doubt they would have gone through with it - more likely a means to extract a larger bribe, but never ended up in a cell.

    Got a phone call from a Garda yesterday to tell me that there was a warrant out for my arrest.

    Apparently I had been summonsed for non-payment of a fine and at the Circuit Court in Galway last September I was given the option of paying €130 or doing 4 days in Castlerea.

    Didn't know anything about it until I got that call yesterday- the summons had gone to my old address.

    Bit disappointed tbh- wanted to go down in a blaze of glory shouting stuff like, "You'll never take me alive copper!"

    Arrested on a bogus 'firearms offense' charge.

    I'm not going to go into it here, but lets just say the Gardaí don't know the law as well as they should.

    Was let go after being held in the station for less than 20 minutes with a friend of mine. I think they realized their mistake and were eager to get us out of there as quickly and quietly as they could.

    Why do I suddenly think of Mr Bean in the airport? :pac:

    And to the answer the question, never. I'm a good boy :)
