IMO, you may have been "arrested" in the technical sense, but you were not booked and I would doubt very strongly if there is any record of this incident anywhere.CHLSteve wrote:I agree with your point of disclosure, but really you can't see how I could forget the details after 16 years?stevie_d_64 wrote:I just can't see where anyone would not remember incidents like this, and have a fairly clear understanding of what occured..
1. I was a kid
2. It was no big deal--I wasn't doing anything "wrong" that I knew of--just wandered into someone else's property
3. The police came, asked us what we were doing--we told them "nothing" which was true... well, actually skipping church and wandering around
4. The police dropped us off, and that was the end of it. (except for the parental whipping that followed for skipping church)
At 15, I didn't know what arrested, detained, charged, or anything like that meant. When the application calls for dates, and other details that I just don't have, I figure I either need to get that info, or leave it off it isn't important.
But remember, IANAL.
