I had a friend who used to own a set of pellet guns that were made to look like real rifles. He was playing with a bunch of friends when one guy ran out the front of his house for a moment. A neighbour panicked and called the cops who blocked off the road (he lived on quite a major road) and called in the SWAT team (or whatever the australian equivalent is) who were just about to blast in and shoot everyone when they realised that it was just a few kids playing around (completely oblivious to the tumult happening just outside their front door). The SWAT captain gave them a long lecture about how they were bad kids and should be sent to juvi', confiscated their guns and left.

Five minutes later the guys parents arrived home, telling their son about how the traffic was banked up for so long and they couldn't understand why. By the time he told me the story (five years later) he still hadn't admitted the truth to them.

hm....well, once I was in the airport waiting for a relative to arrive, and it turned out she was arriving to another airport, so we had to hurry, I was running to my dad's car...and some lameass military guy stopped me and asked me what I was doing O_o (while all his coleagues looked at me all freaked out ¬_¬) like running around was a major crime

he was all panicked because there was some alien president coming in, talk about lame security...watch out for the flimsy 16 yr old with the anime t-shirt! he's gonna blow up the airport!

You say that now, but with the way terror alerts are being vomitted up everywhere nowadays, I wouldn't be suprised if they claimed Al-Quieda was going to start disguising suicide bombers as geeky, anime obsessed social outcasts. No offense to you, of course;)

Never been in trouble with the police... which is pretty surprising looking back at the stuff I've got up to...

But last Wednesday I met my sister in the town centre after work and she was showing me the huuuuge bump on her head that she got the night before (Don't ask!... just search for the most recent alcohol thread!) I must have looked really concerned as I lifted up her fringe to have a really good look as two police officers asked if everything was okay. We thanked them for their concern... now to me thats real policing!

As far as I know its true. I wouldn't put it past the guy to exaggerate a few details but I don't think he made it up completely.

I just remembered a radio competition where people had to call up for pissy crimes they'd been involved in. This one guy was playing with his friends when they were kids and they found an abandoned car - without an engine - dumped in a train station carpark. They started pushing each other in it around the carpark. The police arrived and arrested them for car theft and driving without a license, even though they were twelve years old and only driving Fred Flintstone-style.

LOL! I hate police. They get in the way of everything I ever wanted to do.
Nothing THAT bad. Just collecting guns and shit. Not that I would ever use them.

Nate 08-24-2004 02:22 PM

then why collect them?

Havoc 08-24-2004 05:06 PM

He's right you know.... even if you have them for show... you gotta fire them every now and then...

I target practise everyday in my backyard on a bullseye on the wooden fence... ^_^;
Me doing target practice never killed anyone... yet... :P

Lucipher 08-25-2004 12:09 AM

Mostly just ornamental display. I've got a replica shotgun. And I want a 3 set of white samurai swords but I'm not allowed them cos apparently they're dangerous. They aren't even sharp!

Fez 08-25-2004 12:10 AM

The police dont seem to have a problem with my guns. But then again, with someone who got murdered a few houses down from me. I think I had better leave off the target practice for a while :p

Lucipher 08-25-2004 12:12 AM

Probably those pikeys did it. I ****ing hate pikeys!

paramiteabe 08-25-2004 05:18 AM

Well I got pulled over for doing 42 in a 25mph speed limit but the officier gave me only a written warning. Then I got pulled over for haveing expired plates. Woops that was $60.00 out of my pocket! Then on accident I dialed 911 instead of 411 for information and I had to confront the officier.

Yep in my state the police are a bunch of ****ed up doughnut eating morons.

Lucipher 08-25-2004 06:31 AM

Lucky you PA. If I was the officer I would have locked you up in a padded cell.

did you do that because you were interested in her? If so, I should try that tactic sometime ;) .

Stranger 08-26-2004 03:09 PM

I am home schooled too. Some cops are very stupid. Just because theyre cops dosent mean they can act all smart and bossy.

No, but a nut who used to be in my class when I was eleven threatened a cashier with a knife.

Whoa, slow down there kiddo. Such a rebel you are.

Nate 09-06-2004 01:35 PM

We once had a helicopter with a searchlight circling around my block (ie a circle with a radius of 50 metres, if that) for ten minutes at 12:30 am for no apparent reason
