Slightly off topic, but I had to visit a client in prison once to get him to sign some paperwork and made the mistake of looking up what he was in for before visiting. It transpires than him and his son had beat a man to death following an argument in a pub. He was perfectly reasonable and friendly, though it did make me laugh how he mentioned that 'you go down the pub one day for a couple of drinks and end up in prison'. Well, yes, apart from the huge part of the story that you missed out.

 

As for personal run ins, I've only had the usual stop and search when I was a teenager. One was a little worrying as me and two others had fake IDs on us that we'd purchased online for about £15 and, as many would do at the age of 16/17, assumed that they would find the fake IDs and be arrested.

Got stopped with 3 mates while at uni on the way back from a night out. Apparently we 'matched the description' of some people they wanted to talk to 

 

Happened to me as well, way back in 2005. I was 21, was walking back from the stadium after a City game, as we were about to enter Charles Street, two police cars surrounded us. They searched me and told me to look straight at a CCTV camera to my left because I matched the description of someone who was suspected of committing armed robbery. Obviously I was innocent so I was let go and they drove off. Quite scary to be honest.

I was a milkman for a while back in the early 90s and used to walk to the depot which was at the back of the Blaby by Pass form my house on the Monsell. Anyway I always had a good sized bag with the books and a few bits in as they’d go missing if u left them in the Float. I’d get stopped regularly walking down Lutterworth Road near the old County Arms pub. I’d know it was coming when I seen a Cop Car and would be getting the milk round book out to show them I was a milkman walking work as soon as I seen them. Sometimes the car wouldn’t actually even have come to a complete stop before the Cops would realise and carry on. I never cared as I’d be disappointed if they didn’t stop a geezer dressed like I was with a big bag at 3-30 am in the morning. Eventually I finally met the total knob Cop. They’d all been fine till this one morning a cop with nothing better to do decided me showing him my milk round book and a milk bottle carrier wasn’t enough proof and he proceeded to want more info like my address and if I’d ever been in trouble before and then the greatest question ever,  can you tell me how much is in the bag of change I had with me.   Held me up for about ten mins before letting me go.

Got my reply to say what they've got on the Police National Computer about me.....

Only the 2 counts of Criminal Damage from 1988 (a single incident involving a shop window and a car wing mirror - and many pints).

 

Not surprising that the Breach of Peace from 1985 is expunged, as I remember being told at the time that would be removed from my record if I was a good boy.

Good news that the police caution for Common Assault is not on there, as that one sounds the worst, even if it was just a ridiculous fracas outside a Cornish phone box.

 

Still a decision to be taken eventually over whether to apply for a US visa or to bluff it out, but I reckon that one way or another, to quote The Dubliners: "Now I am bound for A-mer-i-kay!"

Had a few when I used to live in Oxford back in the day (student times so it was always going to happen) first one I got nabbed with an open bottle of Jack Daniels outside a pub - they made me pour it away - which was fair enough really so that resolved that pretty swiftly. 

 

Second time I was out with a group of mates in the city centre for St Patrick’s day and we’d all been on it for ages, whole city was absolutely packed out with students and I was desperate for a piss - so I spotted a random bush on a small square and ran behind it to quickly relieve myself, a mate of mine saw a copper and being drunk decided to grass me up for the banter, I managed to somehow stop the flow before he came around the bush to have a word but owned up to it thinking I was better to be honest. Copper was lovely to be fair and commented on how I’d managed to find the only bush in the city centre as there wasn’t much green space around 😂 he told me to take care and I asked him if I could finish my piss as I was still needing to go 🤣 he said yes and stood guard for me 🤣 

 

third one was i was late meeting some mates down Cowley Road so was caught sprinting down Headington Hill (in the middle of the road) slightly worse for wear, I look to my right and there’s a riot van driving the same speed as me, they pull me up enquiring as to why I was running in the middle of the road - and once again I was like I’ll be honest, told them I was late to meet some friends in a pub - to which they offered me a lift 😂 So they popped me into the back of the riot van - as I sat there drunk saying how I’d seen police tv shows and they don’t usually offer lifts, coppers were lovely talking to me through the bars and saying how they were having a quiet night and wanted to make sure I got there safe. They dropped me off at the door of the pub right in front of my mates having a fag outside 🤣 who were stunned by my emergence from the back of a riot van. I thanked them and they wished me a good night, good memories! Always been very lucky with my police interactions they’ve always been stars bearing in mind I was drunk most of the time 🤣

Got stopped by a couple of cops when walking home through Rusholme early one morning in the late 70s. 

Noticing one of them had a bandage on his hand, I foolishly said; 'looks nasty mate - is that your reading finger?'

Anderton was chief pig in those days, and the Manchester force wasn't noted for its sense of humour. 

Suffice to say I regretted that particular shaft of wit for several days after.

Was 14, set a girls hair partially on fire. Mate gave me a rigged lighter without me knowing. Was aiming for her hood but went all the way through.....what a stupid twat I was.

 

And got expelled for a month with police bought in. A month at home playing Call Of Duty. 

 

SOMEHOW the girl fancied me and said if I wrote a letter of apology no charges would be pressed. 

 

2 weeks later I was on a date with her sat in Argents Mead drinking cheap blue WKD. Meeting her parents properly for the first time was.....fun 

 

 

What a state.

Weird question, but what school did you go to? A pretty much identical thing happened at my school when I was that age.

Not so much a run-in with police but when I was 16 I got absolutely shitfaced at a friend's brother's party and got in the taxi, threw-up in the taxi on the way home and was kicked out and the last thing I remember was the taxi driver threatening me with a baseball bat. I was found by police unconscious at the side of the road covered in my own sick. I woke up in hospital the next day having been on a drip wearing nothing but my underwear only to look down and see my cock poking out the front of my boxers for all to see.

I forgot another one, you’ll wonder why when I explain 😂 I was once filming a YouTube video with a mate where I was running around Trafalgar Square in London in a pair of speedos carrying a plastic wrestling belt (pretending to be a wrestler basically) and they didn’t like us filming on the square so a copper came over and had a word with us 🤣 I was called “the Tom” which he told me meant in London language that I was a male prostitute - to which I promised him I wasn’t soliciting myself despite appearances - **** it I’ll put the video link in here despite the embarrassment nowadays (and the poor acting) 😂

I had a misses at the time so sadly not 😆  but totally agree she was lovely, if I was single I would have 100% especially as she wasn’t as horrified as 95% of the rest of the general public there 😂

I've only ever had one proper run-in but it's a particularly odd one. A couple of summers ago I was in Germany on holiday with my mates, we got drunk in a bar in Berlin watching England play Panama in the World Cup and decided to drive to Russia to try and watch an England game. We drove through Poland sorting out visas on the way only to notice just as we were to cross into Belarus that one of my mates had lost his passport (in Berlin it turned out but we didn't realise that until months later). Anyway he was a dual citizen so he got his other non EU passport posted to Poland and reapplied for the visa waiver for Belarus and Russia with his other nationality and all seemed fine. Anyway naively we drove to the Belarus border where we were confronted by Polish border guards doing exit checks. At this point it still hadn't clicked that we'd messed up some how. They took one look at my mates passport and put him in handcuffs and drove him away as they believed him to be an illegal immigrant. At this point I am scared but was more concerned for my mate than myself. However they then in very broken English explained to me that I was being detained for breaking a law to do with people smuggling (or something to that nature). Anyway long story short my mate spent 48 hours trying to get the British embassy to confirm he was British while locked up in a detention centre (unsuccessfully) before the polish authorities agreed to deport him to Belarus (they were happy to have him as he had the correct visa to visit). I was eventually let off after signing a piece of paper accepting responsibility for what I had done and promising not to do it again. It's safe to say I learnt a lesson that day about borders.

It used to be called John Cleveland College. Think it's called Hinckley Academy now
