worst case scenario

Most people on this site will probably have some sort of incident with the cops in the next year. No matter what type of cop you get; a real dick or a nice one, consider this. I was skating at a nearby elementary school where me and my friends skate all the time in our small town. My friend's stupid sister pulled on the door and the alarm was triggered. A sheriff came but she said she does't care that we skate there at all and she sees us there all the time too.

Now what would happen if instead it had been a true pig, like the cop from hell. We all could have been arrested for:
trespassing
vandalizing
breaking and entering
breaking curfew
driving without a license (the school is like 500 feet from my house so I didn't bother to bring it)
expired inspection sticker
more than one passenger (thats the law for the first year of driving where I live)

The sum for all those infractions would basically be like a 700 dollar fine, possible fines for any 'damage' from skating they could make up, losing my license until I am 18, possible community service, and who knows what else. The point here is that cops have so much power over you, you're basically at their mercy.

but there are laws protecting you. All of those car related tickets/infractions that you said mean nothing. If the car was parked there and you weren't in it at the time, he would have no case and you could easily fight it. However, he could've sat back and waited for you guys to pull out.

Anyways, you are right in saying that police do have alot of power. Many do abuse it. The problem is that there just isn't enough accountability on their end. But hey, at least they aren't as corrupt as police in Mexico or other countries.

worst case scenario was a fucken dumb show, 'what would you do if you were stranded on an icy mountaing with only a garbage bag?' why the fuck would you climb an icy mountaing with only a garbage bag? then they said to slide down the mountain while wrapped in the garbage bag. lets see here, icy mountain + plastic = mach3 to death

yeah like at a party when suddenly you fall through the window and need to hit the pool to survive, what are the odds you will fall of a 40 floor window into a pool

those worst case scenario books are pretty cool. One of them had 'What to do in an alien abduction'.

How would you get breaking and entering? Did you actually break into a school parking lot?

You dont actually have to have a license when youre driving..you just have to show it by the time of your trial for the ticket. 'driving without a license' is like driving a car when you have no license, anywhere.

i remember one of the worst case scenerios where what if a mobster was chasing you and you ended up by a cliff with water underneath. You had to do some special dive.

he's probably in new york state, where there's a 9:00 driving curfew until you're 18 or 17 w/ drivers ed. my parents told me straight up that they don't care if i'm out after the curfew, but that if i get pulled over, i'm paying for it. so i'm just a little more careful after 9

Those worst case scenario things fuckin rock!! they are so funny! If it wasnt for those things I wouldnt know how to jump out of a 3 story window into a dumpster. I actually thought those things were a joke up till now.

me and a buddy were walking up to a party carrying a 2-3 (which was a stupid idea in the 1st place).. a cop rolled up and started talking to us.. luckily he wasnt an asshole so all he did was took our beer and told us to leave..

we couldve gotten like 10 different tickets for that, but the cop was a nice guy
