I've been arrested before.

I have a record of arrests -- a "rap sheet". I even have court records against me -- several, all of which are for the most part "expunged", which means they'll only come up when I piss powerful people off and they can be used to discredit me.

I do not argue with police when they come to arrest me, either. Well, not usually. There was one time when I was in the midst of a rage fit and the cop shoved me and I sorta kinda went berserk on him until his partner pulled us apart and let me bloody myself on the world around me and then, spent, arrested me without much hassle. His partner was not very fond of me, but I always got a kick out of how the the DA had dropped the charges in the plea bargain.
