I got arrested for smoking weed at a Beck concert by three plain-clothes police officers in college. I didn't even know I was arrested because they just confiscated the weed and gave me what seemed like a speeding ticket. It wasn't until I came back to court 6 months later and they took my fingerprints, mugshot, etc that I realized that I was actually arrested. They wound up dismissing my case but I had to pay a 500 dollar fine and do 40 hours of community service.

While I felt super angry at the time that it happened, it doesn't really bother me now. I mean, I knew I was doing something illegal, so ultimately I have no real excuse. I now live in a state where its legal, but I don't really even smoke weed anymore.

Other that that incident, I've never really had a negative interaction with a cop. The ones where I live now always seem friendly and reasonable.
