Any dopers convicted felons?

[pkbites]

Are any dopers convicted felons? What did you do?

[absoul]

...never convicted.

[Sultan Kinkari]

Big, fat ditto on the "never convicted" post. Praise the Lord. No...REALLY...praise the Lord.

[Carina42]

Another "never convicted" here.

[Badtz Maru]

Non-convicted felon checking in.

Hey, if a person who commits a felony is a felon, what is someone who commits misdemeanors? Misdemeaned?

[wring]

Misdemeanant. - that was an answer to Badtz's question.

[sewalk]

Never personally convicted any but I did arrest quite a few.

Oh, you mean am I a convicted felon? No.

[Amp]

Adding to the never convicted group.

[Soul Brother Number Two]

shot a man in reno just to watch him die.

[Badtz Maru]

I shot a man for snoring too loud.

[elmwood]

My record is sealed.

[Snooooopy]

Our lips are sealed.

Well, somewhere in this fine country there's an irritating Assistant District Attorney that refuses to drop an investigation of me even though my lawyer has shown clearly that no crime was committed. But I'm still technically the subject of a felony computer crime investigation. More than that, I cannot say.

[Sultan Kinkari]

OK, I'll be the one to kick it off. I have read that several others, besides myself, consider themselves to be "unconvicted felons". Being the "curious for the sake of curiosity itself" type, I naturally wondered what exactly the other dopers did to be "unconvicted felons". While some people might not feel compelled to share their stories without someone else "taking the plunge" first, I will do exactly that.[list][*] I transported massive quantities of a controlled substance across international lines. I used to run marijuana across the Canada-US border on foot. My friends would drop me off on the Canadian side of the border and I would run(walk) through a apartment complex and meet them on the other side at a gas station, after they had safely driven through customs.
[*] I grew massive quantities of marijuana.
[*] I transported a controlled substance(marijuana) on a commercial airline.
[*] I have been in a half dozen or so bar brawls. I don't know wheter assault is a class A felony but I assume it might be.

So there, I said it. That's three strikes for me. AFAIK, I would be on death row in some states. Yowzers.

[psychogumby]

Wow. Other than Wishbone, I must be the biggest criminal here.

I've been taken to court over unpaid parking fines. Well, I had no money at the time and I had more important people to pay than City Hall.

Thankfully, I haven't seen the need to use my Emergency Soap-On-A-Rope <tm>. Yet.

There's an apartment complex that is in both countries? That strikes me as somewhat odd.

[apartment leasing agent]
We'll, we can get you an apartment in 18D, which gives you the walk in closet as well as government subsidized health coverage, but if you go with unit 4F then you get the washer/dryer and your "prime minister" is now known as "president".

Two felony arrests, no convictions. Agravated assault with a deadly weapon, Burglary of a building.

A number of crimes I was never arrested for, but most were not felonys.

[stoneytom]

Probably not something you would want to spread around, but I'm not ashamed.

Cultivation of the evil weed. Yep, convicted.

[Carina42]

OK [wishbone.

Intrastate drug transportation. Cultivation of marijuana, intent to sell.

Marrying a person to make him legally able to work in the US. (This was not for money, though. I was subsequently asked to do so for financial gain & refused. Silly me, that would have been an easy 20K.) I did it for a friend.

[theendisnear]

Arrested for assault on a police officer, not convicted.

[monster]

Arrested for criminal mischief, which is a felony.

Convicted of battery, which is a misdemeanor.

[thinksnow]

Nope, not convicted.


Suck it, Trebek.

[Badtz Maru]

A few burglaries of a habitation, buying and selling various drugs, serious criminal mischief, arson, and terroristic threats.

[Kalashnikov]

another unconvicted

I'd really like to tell you about it but I'm not sure that's wise. They say the majority of people who get arrested for something long after it happened, do so because they talked about it.

Oh, heck. Let's just say it involved putting a piece of metal into a piece of plastic, and its a felony to put that type of metal object into a piece of plastic of that shape, even momentarily.

I took it right back out, I no longer possess the plastic piece, and there's no proof I ever did, so I suppose I'll be ok.

But technically, I according to the law, I should be in prison.

[Kalashnikov]

now if that plastic piece had a screw through a certain spot, or if someone else had put a similar plastic piece on the metal one before a certain date, my action would have been quite legal.

[andygirl]

Well, I voted when I was 17. I believe that's voter fraud, yes?

[The Mick]

never convicted, never even arrested.

I assaulted a man with a baseball bat. He asked for it, though.

[carnivorousplant]

I didn't get nothin', I had to pay fifty dollars and pick up the garbage...
