    My night sucked

    Let the flames begin, TL;dr version, im screwed.

    ok so heres my story, tonight after i got off work i went to a friends house for awhile. We were hanging out watching tv blah blah, her brother decides its a good idea to shoot me with his sling shot so i chased him away and got my air soft pistol out of my car, shot him in his leg a few times and took his sling shot from him. We left her house and went into town where we met up with another friend at someone elses house. So we are all standing around outside and i shot a few friends (stupid idea) with my airsoft pistol and put it under the seat of a different car.

    My other friend just got his airsoft pistol back from someone else so he also shot it a few times and threw it into his car, we are all sitting around on the cars talking and we see a cop pull up, then one from behind us, then another, then lights flying by on the main street coming to us, then another.

    Cops get out of the car tell us to show our hands, so we did, then asks us about a slingshot and tells us someone called and reported we were threatening a disabled person with it and not letting them cross the street( NOT TRUE). The cop takes the sling shot and is just asking us questions as usual when one cops decides to shine his flash light into my friends car and guess what he saw, he yells out "we have a gun!" my friend steps away puts his hands up and they cuff him and throw him into the cop car.

    Few minutes later they know its an air gun of some kind and continue to question the rest of us. One cop then asked if its ok to search my other friends car and he agree's, so i tell him i have my air soft gun in there, they of course flip out cuff me and throw me in the back of a cop car.

    They search everyone for weapons, drugs etc etc and find nothing so they take me and my friend to the police station take our finger prints, mug shots, and give us both a $500 dollar fine.
    Now im going to go to court and fight that ticket but thats the least of my worries, they have my mug shot and finger prints, how can that hurt me? Does that mean that i can no longer join the Millitary, FBI, CIA, Secret Service etc?

    Also has anything like this ever happened to anyone else here before? Can anyone give me some advise? What kind of things should i say when i go to fight the ticket?
    Thanks alot in advance.

      Sounds about right. Common sense is a wonderful thing, perhaps you should look into getting some.

        Mugshot and fingerprints mean nothing is you are acquited. Get a lawyer!!!

        BTW are you over 18? As a juvi you can get your records sealed.

                    That's right. All I can think, is "What a bunch of 's"

                    There is no reason what-so-ever for paintball or airsoft equipment, slingshots or similar, or any other airgun to be kept loose in a car. Pack them up in bags or boxes. Heck, travelling with baseball bats loose and in easy access in a car wihtout the accompanying gloves and balls would understandably result in your arrest if anyone in the area reported damage and baseball bat wielding punks.

                    Your only hope is to get a copy of the report the cops were acting on and see if they mistook you for the perps described. Then you have to prove they caught the wrong guys or that you were somewhere else when the alleged incident took place.

                    Otherwise, you have little to go on other than pleading for mercy on compasionate grounds. Surely blank stupidity will elicite some compassion.

                        Are you kidding?!?

                        Hassling and threatening people ("even" disabled people) is not OK. Threatening to shoot someone with a slingshot is ASSAULT!

                          I dont see what you got a $500 fine for... Owning and playing airsoft? I mean, yea i know its gay, but not gay enough to get a fine for playing it or owning an airsoft gun..

                          Also, i would find out who called the cops telling them that story, then straight up ask them what the **** made them think that.. I would be extremely pissed.

                            Ok i read what I typed and I guess I should of worded it differently. I meant to say I don't get why why someone would just make up that he was threatening someone.

                              Rule of thumb -- if the cops ask to search anywhere SAY NO.

                              If they are legally allowed to search, they aren't going to ask. The only time they ask is when they don't have a legal basis to do so, and are asking so you will waive your rights. Never do it. As for the rest of it., I can't give you any advice about the charges if you don't tell us what they are. There are lots of things that carry a $500 fine.

                              One thing that I can tell you, if it is just a fine, it is almost certainly a minor misdemeanor. That means that it isn't likely to affect anything; it is the same as a traffic ticket. If you are a minor, it drops off your record at 18.
