Have you ever been arrested?

This is a personal question and one that of course, some may not want to answer so if you don’t like the question, please feel free to keep scrolling as you always should if you don’t want to answer.

I thought of this question as I was watching a morning show where they’re talking about an upcoming podcast by this person who is featured in this documentary, Inventing Anna (Netflix) who is trying to reinvent herself. She has a podcast now, from house arrest in her apartment, and the question asking whether listeners have ever been arrested was to start a discussion to blur the lines between good and bad. It might inspire some interesting stories, maybe some inspiring stories about doing better, maybe some amusing stories. That was the way the person discussing the podcast described it.

I’ve never been arrested. When I was younger, I did some crazy things but there were not cameras around, not videos around and the laws were more lax then, so some things I did when I was younger I would not recommend. For example, when I was 18–20, I would get pulled over, the police would know I had been drinking and they’d check my license which was clean, and tell me to have a good night. Now, this would be something they’d do a breathalyzer for and it might be something to be arrested for. The laws were not so strict then. That was in the early 1980’s.
