Here's a good one for you all.

I spent fifteen months in Iraq. When I got home the first thing I had to do was get booked at the county jail for, get this, marijuana cultivation.....yeah, while I was on the other side of the planet. Someone else grew on our property, we have thirty acres, but I got blamed.
It cost me $8,000 in attorney fees before the damn court finally dropped the charges. One hell of a welcome home, eh?
Don't say it doesn't happen, it does.

I was mistaken for a guy who owed thousands in back child support... I was myself single at the time and had no kids.
they kept me only as long as it took to run my fingerprints and prove i wasn't him, but the bummer was i got fired for missing a day at work

Thank God I was able to afford an attorney, otherwise I might well have gone to jail. These small town courts don't give a damn about the truth, only about winning, and public defenders, well........can you say useless? I actually had to prove I was innocent. I know it's supposed to be the other way around, but it's just not.

no it's not. you are guilty till you prove otherwise.

I know it happens, but I figure if you are basically law abding you stay outside the jail. But if you hang with a bad crew and skirt the edges you can get in trouble by association

I wasn't arrested, but some small town pig tried to pin a robbery charge on me once. It was in Lockhart, Texas. Me and some boys were going to the video store to rent some games and vids and chill for the weekend.(We were all in high school and in a small town. You do the math.) Well when we all loaded into my buddy's car, this black van comes screeching out of nowhere and these cops come jumping out. One of em points at me says "get out". So we all get out of the car and they pull me aside and start asking me questions. Well to make an already long story short, the coppers said that I "fit the description" of someone who robbed a convenience store one night. I wasn't even in town when it happened. Oh but they were itching to take me in.
