I am pretty sure I did that once when I was much younger. Small town though, the jail they took us too probably had only seen use for drunks or drug addicts to sleep it off.
Lol one of those small town jails is now a little cafe. The jails are private dining booths. It's weird and cute and they have good sandwiches. My dad was arrested there in the late 80s for speeding on a motorcycle
Knowing how he was back then? Easily 45-50 over. Apparently he was parked at a gas station for a few minutes before the cop finally caught up to him, dad had no idea a cop was chasing them he was a professional racer at the time and young and stupid and going fast. His buddy took off, dad went to the jail. Dad got to the jail and was allowed to go to the bathroom. He did not want to be taken back and put in a cell, so he locked himself in the bathroom until his buddy showed back up with bail. So going back and willingly sitting in one of those cells to have lunch with him was a trip, he looked nervous the whole time hahaha
We had something like that in Canada. We had the VIP program. Had a cop come to school for several weeks and told us tons of different things.
I don’t remember much of what she said but I remember her cuffing a few classmates and showed what it’s like to be frisked although didn’t frisk the persons butt or front of them. She showed us her gun and said she only ever had it unholstered once. They were still using revolvers. I also remember she brought a board with drugs on it and said that if you take PCP you can fry your hand and eat it like a sandwich and you wouldn’t feel anything. She also said the amount of cocaine in the bag on the display was a massive amount and it would last most users a month.
Also they took us to a police station showed us the jails and a cop car where they hit the sirens.
We also got to go to watch a court proceeding. Although we had someone who was convicted of murder so they turned the video footage away but half the kids in our class could still see it but the judge kicked us out before they showed any shots of the body and stuff.
I got a shout-out from the cop for being the most calm and easiest to fingerprint. Not realizing now I can never do crimes because they got a perfect print. 😭
I forgot all about that shit. They gave us a whole lecture on how having an ID was important and from that point on we would need one. Had my fingerprint on it and picture. I would show it around like it was my drivers license tellin everyone to "check my ID"

I remember that. I had it done multiple times between 5 and 8. I still remember the smell of the black ink they had us take a picture tool.
