I used to believe that the "vice" in "vice squad" had the same kind of meaning as that in "vice president", so that a vice squad would be an alternate squad that would stand in for some main squad when the main squad was unavailable for any reason.

I used to belive that FBI stood for Fish Buying In because when I went to camp they took a picture of a FBI car and put a fish beside it. In big blod letters by it they wrote Fish Buying In so I thought the fish were trying to become stock brokers or something. Then we were talking about it at school and my teacher ask me what it meant. I stood corrected.

I thought it was against the law to carry around a lot of money unless you were putting it in the bank.

My parents took me and my siblings, plus two friends, to a local Air Force Base. They have this really great playground--every child's dream. My mom, a retired Army gal, noticed that Colby, 9 years old, was wearing an "Old Navy" shirt. On a whim, she announced to Colby that he would be arrested for wearing a Navy shirt on an Air Force Base. "You see that we're not wearing Army shirts!" she exclaimed. Colby got scared and turned his shirt inside out. Everytime an Air Force officer would walk or drive by, he'd hide under the playground!

When I was in 1st grade police officers sometimes visited to talk about traffic safety, etc. I was afraid to talk without raising my hand because I thought that if I interrupt the police officer or annoy him, he will shoot me/ put me in jail.

For about a year when i was 12, after playing Half Life, i began to believe that the police were actual mechanized soldiers that would one day capture all the citezens of the Earth, drain the oceans, and then force us to do hard labor. After i stopped playing Halflife, i finally got rid of that phobia.

When I was about 3 or 4 years old my big sister told me that if I ever promised anyone something and didn't keep my promise the police would be after me and I would go to jail for the rest of my life. Let's just say I made very few promises and if I ever accidentally promised anyone anything it was never broken.

When my mom and her siblings were little, my grandpa used to warn them that they'd get, "a ticket" if they ever did something bad. He was a huge guy, but a gentle giant. Nevertheless, I don't think they ever dared find out what "a ticket" was.

My local branch library had the children's section on one side of the building and the adult section on the other side. I was always afraid to step over to the adult side because I was sure the police would show up and take me to jail for being underage.

When I was about 5 and my sister was 3, I told her that if she heard police sirens, she had to run and hide because they were going to arrest the first person they saw. She believed this for years, I think until she went to Safety Town

One of my parent's friends was a cop with a helicopter. and he said "If you ever see a helicopter wave to it." From that day till I was 11 I thought that all helicopters were filled with policmen whose job was to snipe you if you didnt wave to them.

After having watched Cops for most of my young natural life, and my mother telling me that if I didn't put my seatbelt on the police would take me, I believed that cops just picked people up and took them away FOR NO REASON AT ALL. I thought that they could just come snatch you on a whim if they saw you and decided you were worth the effort. Every time I passed a cop car, I would slink down into my seat and watch them with suspicion.
