When I was about 3 or 4, my dad and I got pulled over for not stopping at the stop sign by our house. We managed to pull in to our house, and I watched the cop talk to my dad for a while. Then I went inside and told my mom that daddy was getting arrested!

My older sister told me that if I sat on a white bench at the mall the police would come and arrest me. I believed her for several years and once she pulled me onto it and i started crying because i thought the police would come and take me away

My mom would tell me that if I crossed the road without holding her hand I would go to jail. She told me Taxis were cops too.

When I used to fly with my parents, I would always tell the security guards "No guns or bullets!", thinking that telling them this would speed up the process. My mom told me to hush, and they always searched us extra hard, even my cabbage patch kid purse. My parents say they're just grateful that their asses went unsearched.

The parents of a co-worker of mine convinced him that the Salvation Army was an emergency parental control enforcing organization to be called upon by desperate parents. They often used the threat 'Don't make me call the Salvation Army'.

When I was 7 years old, I finally found out from my parents that COP did not mean 'Chief of Police'. Before that, I always wondered how all policeman could be Police Chief! My parents got quite a chuckle out of that one!

I had real trouble believing that the Police were human beings. They wore those pointy helmets, so it followed they had pointy heads. And they had Godlike powers, like being able to tell grownups what to do.

When I was a child, about 4 or 5, I used to be scared to death of policmen because of the guns they carried. I was so afraid that I would look at them wrong, or say something wrong, and they would take out their gun and shoot me! Now that I think about it, this was a strange fear, especially considering that one of my best friends at the time was the daughter of a state trooper who was one of the nicest guys you'd ever hope to meet.

You know how men and woman in the armed forces wear those Camoflage Uniforms? Well I used to think that they were burglers and I kept having Nightmares that they would come and Kill me and rob me. I used to see them in Shopping Centres and I would really freak out.

I used to think whenever I heard the phrase "A man is helping police with their inquiries" on the news. That there was this really nice man driving around with the police helping them solve the case and find the criminals.

After watching american cop shows like CHIPS as a kid, I used to believe that all you had to do to catch a criminal was put out an APB and couldn't understand why the police here didn't do that.

When I was young and I got ringing in my ears, I thought that it was my call from the police and that they needed me to arrest somebody! I believed was really a police woman but that nobody knew it! Men in white coats coming to take me away!

I used to hear my parents talk about the Highway Patrol and I misunderstood them. I thought they said "troll" as in troll under the bridge in the billy goats gruff story. Every time I would hear a siren, I would run away in a panic thinking the troll was going to eat me.

From watching a lot of stupid kids shows that had this, I always thought that if you went to a store and tried to purchase something, but ended up not having enough money, that the clerk would call the cops who would come and arrest you. I believed that for years.

I grew up in Texas and when I heard someone was "sentenced to death" I thought that they'd been forced to write the same sentence over and over again until they died, since one of my teachers at school made us write sentences on the blackboard when we were bad.

Once when I was about seven, I took a peppermint from the Brach's pick and mix display at the supermarket. I hid it in my closet because I was terrified that the police would come and arrest me for it. I found the peppermint a couple of years ago when I was cleaning out my closet at my parents' house...it was still there!

I used to think it was a coincidence that judges all had the first name "Justice".

My older brothers did not want me, their little sister, to play board games with them. They told me that the (recommended) age on the box meant I couldn't play unless I was that age or older because it was against the law and I believed it and thought the games had tiny little policemen inside of them that would pop out and arrest me if I played it. I believed this for a really long time.
