Ever worried you could land in jail?

Post Reply New Topic

A couple things that could of landed me there. I heard the Psychology teacher had issues with me and so I came home to rant to a friend on the phone he suggested violence I agreed (saracastically/jokingly) we even laughed it off. Then he went behind my back and told the school and I was suspsended from college for a year. (It took 5 years to go back since Financial Aid cut off is 24 before 24 mom/dad income factor into government help after 24 they just looked at my SSI income). Second I constantly jumped on an employee (strange behavior I know) and the topic of sexual harrassement got brought which again could have landed me in jail (BTW that teacher chose not to press charges thank god!! !! ! Lastly my family issues I've been threatened about jail from family more times than I can count. So. With your behavior faults/issues do you worry of landing in jail or perhaps you are one of the lucky ones and don't have behavior issues as severly as I do.

My mom used to threaten to send me to juvi a lot as a kid when I had meltdowns. I've gotten a lot better sense I became an adult & I don't really have any of those major behavior problems now. If I were to get arrested it would most likely be related to becoming homeless. I'm extremely lucky that I'm still able to live with my parents because the only income I have is Social Security Disability & there's no programs or social services here that would help me out so unless I could find someone else to take me in; I would be homeless.
Other rezones I could get arrested

I had a mental breakdown 7 years ago & was suffering a psychotic depression but seemed bipolar & showed most of the features of Schizotypal Personality Disorder. I was having lots of mood-swings, contemplating suicide & I slashed my arm 9x during my lowest point. Before that mental breakdown I used to have some very psychotic fantasies(think Columbine school shooting) because of my issues related to being bullied & stress I was under from beincg unable to conform to the world. I haven't' thought about that stuff in like 8 years. If I were to have some kind of breakdown or something again; that might could get me arrested. I'm a different person than before so I don't think that's very likely rite now unless I were to take meds for something & they trigger it.

I might could also get picked up for suspicion of being on drugs or something. I'm in my own world a lot & act really weird & people think I'm on stuff sometimes even thou I'm straight-edge & never did anything illegal. I'm interested in trying medical marijuana thou because I have a tremor disorder that it might could help treat but medical marijuana is illegal in my state. If my tremors were to get bad enough; I might would try getting it illegally; the meds I've tried for it had side-effects much worse than pot; felt like I was having a stroke. Tremors would have to get a lot worse before I would consider it illegally thou.

I guess I could maybe get arrested for being stupid & naive; like I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time or I get tricked into being a patsy somehow. Or maybe I do something without realizing it.

Can people get arrested for pirating/bootlegging I do a lot of that. I guess I might could get arrested for DLing illegal porn because it's mislabeled or something. Also virus infections can DL stuff & do other illegal stuff with my comp. I wouldn't get arrested for being infected but I guess I could get investigated & if they see my music collection here

Some people who fallow a lot of my post here; might think that if I were to get arrested; it would be stalking but I am NOT capable of doing anything like that because it can cause harm.

If I did get arrested; I might could go to a mental faculty instead of prison because of my mental issues & my medical issues/disabilities. I would probably at least get solitary confinement in prison

Yes, I do worry about that sometimes.

I used to worry about this as a teen because kids took advantage of me in 6th grade and I always got into trouble. Then I was hearing all these horror stories about aspies being taken advantage of and getting into trouble with the law because of it. I was worried I would land in jail because someone might take advantage of me. Now I don't worry about it anymore. I don't go out with strangers or with anyone from work or with any neighbors except family so it's very unlikely it will happen. I also don't help people so it makes it even more unlikely.

Everyone has done something that could get them in jail. You'd be stupid not to worry.

I used to do a lot of drugs
And other victimless crimes
But the way I dont seem to think of consequences
I sometimes feel like an outlaw
But I would never hurt anyone else
The rules dont seem to take root in my head
And I am so happy I have never been arrested
I would not even know where to start worrying
That would be my nightmare
Prison
Jail
I feel I would get picked on
And then not knowing how to react
I would probably blurt out
And get killed

It scares the s**t out of me

Yes. I don't think I could handle going to jail well. I have a tendency to do what I think is right, rather than what's allowed by law. I've definitely gone into some legal gray areas before as result of that.

My Aspie issues make me the opposite. When I was a kid I was kinda like Barney Fife from Andy Griffith or Cindy from the Brady Bunch. I believed in fallowing rules to the letter, doing everything by the book & I would call others on it; I'm a hard-core ISTJ. I have anxiety issues & extremely bad OCD. I'm not like that now so much but I think in black & white & have a very high moral code opinion that sometimes alternates. I try fallowing the rules but sometimes something will happen to change my opinion & I may start thinking that breaking em is the right thing to do. I also sometimes have major arguments with people because I feel I am standing up for myself or that I am right. I usually respect, listen & am eager to please authority but if I get pushed to far; I guess it's possible that I could be arrested for resisting if a cop is really being a d!ck.

FREAKING LOVE THAT SCENE! The Boondocks FTMFW!

You didn't wash behind yo' ears

I was actually about to start a thread based on that feeling.
I dont feel above the law.
But I guess I tend to do exactly what you said
What feels right
Or whatever it takes in my case
I dont do it purposely
I think its a subconcious problem
Where I dont think what Im doing is going to hurt anyone
So I dont think its wrong
And my brain doesnt search my databases for warnings
And the rules fly out the window

It also tends to cause serious problems with authorties
I reason and discuss with cops
When I should probably shut up
I used to challenge teachers alot too

Sometimes I feel I have a superiority complex
But thinking Im above people depresses me
So I hate when I feel that way

I feel like I am above identity somehow too
Like I hate referring to myself or others
Or compliments and what not
Like I should not be noticed
That I dont deserve identification
And my outsiderness makes me
Sneaky and secretive
I think this brings negative attention
I look suspicious
Cops scare me

Same here. I used to have lots of problems getting along with teachers, principals ect. Lots of my issues were due to misunderstandings thou. I was often accused of being rude & stuff when I believed that I was simply being honest. When I answered questions; they thought I was being a smart-a$$. When I would ask questions; they thought I was trying to cause a problem/distraction or I was simply acting stupid or they thought I was stupid. Not noticing nonverbal social ques, not looking at people while talking to em didn't help & I tend to say the wrong thing when I get nervous(maybe like minor Tourette's Syndrome; it comes out wrong or I ramble) I seem guilty when I didn't do anything wrong. I would get frustrated & have meltdowns or start arguing with em. If I were to get arrested for something; I would have major problems taking the stand in trial due to my communication issues related to anxiety. I never had much dealings with cops but one of my cousins is a cop & ironically he likes talking to me about police stuff because I understand it better than lots of civilians Being introverted & going almost nowhere by myself due to transportation issues means I probably have a small chance of being arrested but my Aspie & other issues might make me appear suspicious & my anxiety & communication could cause problems. I do say things in joking & I talk about things online that are very inappropriate sometimes & it wouldn't surprise me if I get reported to the FBI because someone doesn't know I'm joking or they thought I was serious about something because I was ranting to relive frustration

yet another reason for me to go on being a hermit. all my life it seems everybody else had the inside straight on things, with me left holding the bag.

My wife always accuses me of having tourettes
I dont
But like while driving
I am the worst with road rage
I just start yelling and insulting
When people dont drive my way
Only when Im in my car

i don't mean to sound like a broken record copy of your SO, but please be careful, as you never know which nut is behind which wheel with a screw loose. lots of guns out there with scary people as owners. it might not be you that gets shot, but somebody close to you.

Probably one of the freakiest nights of my life was when I actually ended up in juvie one night after a family fight. I was stuck in a holding cell downtown with a bunch of Memphis gangsters. Suprisingly enough, even though I was scared s**tless of them and tried not to show it, they were an okay bunch, didn't beat me up or anything. We ended up talking about why we ended up in juvie, and they were sympathetic to a degree. I guess it wasn't so much that they were bad people, they were just down on their luck. Plus it was probably also that "prisoner vs. guard" mentality where the jailed band together to stick it to the jailers. Even so, I was relieved when dad came to pick me up at 3 in the morning.
