When i was little a older friend (about 10 i was 4 or 5) told me if the cops saw you doing ANYTHING other then what was annouced that week that you would be arrested. We lived in a ghetto neighborhood so cops were always around. One time she told me to runin my room and press my butt against the window until they passed. Another time she told me to stand on my hands with my dress down.

When I was young and I played up in the car, my mum told me to behave or she'd leave me in the car and DoCS (Department Of Community Services) would take me away. It was only natural for me to assume that "the docs" were mean men who stole naughty children from cars. How naive was I?

What's up DoCS?

I was pretending to be a policeman one day when I was 4 or 5, so I went into the bathroom and started eating toothpaste. That's what policemen do, isn't it?

As a kid, my tiny podunk private school took us to the local jail for a field trip. For kicks, the policemen took our fingerprints, took mugshots of us, and locked us with our teacher up in a cell.
Afterwards I believed we'd all been unfairly given permanent criminal records on that one fateful day.

I used to think that breathalyzer tests were administered by people blowing good long puffs into the cops' faces and that the cops determined their drunkenness by the potency of the smell.

I used to think that things my parents told me not to do(i.e. jumping on the bed) were against the law and if the police found out I would go to jail.

When I was about 5 or 6, I thought that when the police told you to put your hands up, that they were going to shoot you in the armpits. I often thought about how much that would hurt. I was about 11 or 12 when I realized it was so that they could make sure you weren't going to pull a gun or something on them.

i told my little brother (he was 7)that if you "ding-dong-ditch" people the cops could track you down and arrest you.
it scared him so much that he wrote a note to the neighbor he offended... saying "sorry about the door ball"

he is 9 and still believes it...

hahahhaa
