Has anyone else here ever had a run in with the authorities in college?

To start it off, I am from Georgia since I think state laws matter in this situation. so i dont really want to go into detail here, but while walking back to my place of residence some circumstances came up and I was arrested for MIP, Fake ID, and obstruction of justice(misdemeanor kind, I ran). I was wondering if anyone here has been in a similar situation, and what the outcome in court usually is?

I am well prepared for a few joke posts about how my life is over and such, but a few serious responses would be nice from anyone who knows about these types of situations. If anything, I am just looking for a little certainty and peace of mind. Also, if anyone else has had any other kind of incidence thats relatable in any way, feel free to help a brother out. Thanks in advance guys

No, the worst that happened to me was I forgot to cite something in my essay and I was just told not to do that again and I had to pick a new topic for my essay.

Based on your poor syntax and the injudiciousness suggested by your actions, I take it you attend a community college?

I've had two, although they were both by proxy.

For the first, one of my buddies got a ticket for imbibing under the age ($251), but the officer told him he could get a lower amount if he went to court for it and pleaded guilty. So he went to court for it, they brought his case up with about 2 dozen other people of similar charges, and got an amount of $100. He was thrilled as the entire proceeding lasted all of 5 minutes and saved him $151. But then he got the bill for the court fees which were $151 :P

The other one occured when I was walking a drunken friend home. He decided to shout at the 7th floor dorm of a girl he wanted to date, and then rolled around on the ground cackling. A police officer strolled up and said, "Son, why are you on the ground?" His reply as he looked up at her from the pavement was, "Oh my God, I don't remember being on the ground." I told her that our apartment was right around the corner and she let us finish walking home.

Oh yeah, I went to school in IL.

Edit: I guess there were a few more times, also by proxy, but they were either boring or... just pathetic. No real need to reiterate them here.

Not really. The only thing that happened recently was last semester. My brother and I both go to a university, and he is a freshman pitcher on the baseball team. Anyway, he was driving, and me and some of our friends were in the car and he was going like 65 or so in a 40. We got pulled over and the cop asks for license and registration and all of that. Then he's like oh you're on the baseball team, huh? And he's like yeah. Then the cop goes you pitched a hell of a game last night. Slow down and drive safely. Have a good night. And he just let us on our way.

almost, about 3 times this year, and almost got pepper sprayed

im done with house parties

I've ran from the cops a couple times and over last summer I got an underage consumption, cost me around 300$ and I live in South Dakota

I go to uga, what about you? and as for the other poster supmt, your snide comments are not necessary here as they do not contribute to the thread at all and also insult anyone who reads these forums who actually go to community college, which is respectable in its own right. I honestly did not feel syntax was very crucial to my post, but of course there will always be people like you looking to derail conversations based on trivial items. Anyways, I believe I will be on probation and community service but does anyone know if I can get these charges taken off my record eventually, and if i cannot, how much will it affect companies hiring me in the future when I apply for jobs in the real world?JoeSchmo01

As for whether it will affect your job prospects - I wouldn't worry about it. My dad got caught for something similar in college (I doubt he tried to outrun the police though) and now makes upwards of $600,000 a year as a corporate lawyer.

most states have first offender laws, where they give you some conditions and if you complete them... you record is essentially clean.

The main question, is why the encounter happened in the first place. Why are these police searching you for posession and fake IDs and such? what led up to this?

If they didnt have reasonable cause to search you, you can probably get the whole thing thrown out. We need more details.

I was arrested in college for disorderly conduct, and never found out why... i just went with the system and my record is clean as a result, but i lost my first offender status... when i did nothing wrong (well the arresting officer said it was because i was yelling... but thats not illegal.. disorderly conduct is kinda the things cops arrest you for when they have no reason to arrest you.)

ultimately i figured i didnt actually do anything illegal, so the system would take care of me... turns out they try to **** you no matter what you did.
