When i was little, my grandmother was suing my grandfather's company that he worked for. Whenever someone said something about a lawsuit, i thought they meant grandpa was getting a new suit to wear.

i used to believe my cousins - anything they said. they loved to mess with me.

they made me really angry one time and i told my grandfather that he should call the police on them because they stole my something-or-other.

he picked up the phone, dialed (pretended to, at least) and started talking like he was talking to the cops.

when he hung up, i started freaking out because i didn't want my cousin to go to jail.

When I was young and naughty, my mum told me that if i were any more naughtier she would take me to the police station and the police would lock me in jail.

I watched some movie where a cop shot some bad-guy like 5 times and killed him, so I made extra carefull that I didnt do anything that would attract police attention cause I thought that I would be shot dead on the spot!

When I was about four years old, I was watching the show "Cops" on T.V. My older cousin, how was about 17, told me that bad kids went to "kids jail". I had a picture in my mind that in this kids jail, kids were given lots of cool and fun toys to play with. I think I got this idea from a dream I once had. Anyways, I believed this for about two years.

I thought it was very cruel to 'persecute' someone for trespassing....(Trespassers will be prosecuted).

When I was about 3 or 4, my dad and I got pulled over for not stopping at the stop sign by our house. We managed to pull in to our house, and I watched the cop talk to my dad for a while. Then I went inside and told my mom that daddy was getting arrested!

When i was about 6 I saw soemthing on the news that said that a mother had left her kids in the car for like 4 hours and the police came and arrested the mother, so whenever my mother went into a store w/ out me i woudl lock all the doors and sloch down so u couldnt see me so that the police wouldnt come arrest my mom!

I once explained to my grandma what to do if a police officer pulled you over. "Get out of the car and run real fast!" I think I watched a little too much "Cops"! lol

I used to believe that all police officers were named John Law. My grandmother told me this.

I believe that police ran Dunkin' Doughnuts and the reason they ate so many was because it helped them fight the bad guys.

It could happen...

I used to believe that when my mom or dad would get pulled over for speeding or some other traffic violation that they were going to be arrested. As you can imagine that could be tramatizing for a child.

Once when I was like 7 I stole a pack of cards from blockbuster, my mom found out and took me back to blockbuster to tell the man what I had done and I was yelling "PLEASE DONT LET THE POLICE ARREST ME!"

i used to belive that when a policeman pulled you up on the side of the road he was going to kidnap all the little children and send them to the Barons castle from Citty Citty Bang Bang. and we would then have to be slaves to the technicians who clean and repaired the flying car

a very disturbed mind

My boyfriend used to think that when the "bad guyes" had been in prison, they became cops.

What's really funny is that his father is a cop, but he never thougt of what his father might have done=)

I used to think that the police just ran at random people arrested them and took them to the "indoor people zoo" where the zoo keepers had cattle progs (a large tazer) and they let free people throw stuff at you. I even compared the police to the nazis in the 7th grade. ha I was stupid. (a cop saved my life in the 10th grade and I reconsidered)

Marx

I thought that the police would hide places, waiting to arrest me if i even yelled at my sister. I was freaked out. And once i couldnt help it and got in a fight with my sister. I got yelled at by my parents but i satyed up all night for three nights freaking out about the police finding out and me spending the rest of my life in jail. After the third sleepless night, i told my sister i was sorry and went back into my room. Out loud i said (for the police to hear) "See, i apoligized, dont put me in jail please." adn that was taht.

I used to believe that speeding tickets were tickets to Chuckie Cheese.I always thought that the policemen would stop drivers to hand them the Chuckie Cheese tickets.
