Current Events > Have you ever been witness to an arrest, in person?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Saw some police outside of the local main PX and as I was leaving they were escorting someone out in handcuffs and they put him away in their cruiser.

Closest I've come to witnessing an arrest but I guess it counts

"my own" was the best answer i had!

---

Yes.

Called the cops on a domestic abuser, guy in the apartment below us was hitting his wife so hard we could hear it upstairs.

Also saw a kid, couldn't have been older than 13, getting arrested by the cops, don't know why though.

i spent last summer in jail
it sucks and i dont recommend it

---

Yea, just a homeless person begging in front of a major retailer.

plenty of times during my late teens/early 20s

I once saw a man run away from the police into a building, after he got away from two dragging him after a scuffle down the steps at a crossing, only to find out it was the police station. I presume he got arrested as didn't see him come out again >.>

Also witness to some possible terrorists being arrested in Plymouth the day after the Exeter Shoe bomber in UK. Was a load of people sat outside a Costa Coffee while I was setting up a new bank account and a load of plain clothes police officers jumped out and made us get way back as suspected nail bombs in the bins.

i have witnessed two dudes in a drug deal being busted couple of years ago.

and ironically, i was gonna meet my plug that day in that same area... >_>

I use to work in a grocery store where managers would detain shoplifters until the police arrived to take them away.

As many times as I've driven past someone being pulled over, I'm sure at least one of those times involved an arrest

Last day of high school we had a water balloon fight in the parking lot and a cop showed up and my buddy nailed his car. Dude wasted zero time cuffing him and throwing him in the back.

---

My own and couple others

Was arrested and witnessed arrests in the same day. Was accessory to gun trafficking my friends were a part of, and I just happened to be there, at their house, just hanging out at the wrong time. Processed, spent a night in jail, made bail, showed up to two court dates, was let off with zero charges. Wrong place at the wrong time.

---

Made a couple arrests of my own :3

---

A few times. I also live in NYC so its almost common to see someone in cuffs once in a while.

---

Yes, none stick out tho so it wasn't ever anything crazy. I did see cops posted up outside my neighbors house and one had an assault rifle. It was at like 1am, so at first all I seen was a guy with a pistol creeping around a house in the dark >_>. The rifle guy came later. I was kind of anxious cause the way they were positioned made my house the backdrop if there was a shootout. Nothing ever happened tho. They weren't actually going after my neighbors btw, just where they were posted up.

I look the other direction, pray, then walk away.

I usually do this too, which probably plays into why I don't remember them. My anxiety triggers and makes me think there's a slim chance I somehow get pulled in.

No, and no.

Never been arrested, but Ive seen a few people get it. Shoplifters and random busts on the side of the road. Ive seen some drunk people get arrested for various things and one time the DJ at a house party I went to went down, but I didnt really see that because I was on my way out.

Did he suffer any charges or did the cop just do it to scare him?

I was arrested for being drunk and disorderly as a teen, not sure if I've seen an actual arrest of another person but I've seen plenty being stopped and searched by the police and once I saw a man get tasered by them

No they let him go I think the cop was trying to make an example in the parking lot to keep the peace.

I've seen arrests, but never been questioned or used as a witness.
