So anyways, last night...
...I almost got arrested and taken down to the police station for accidentally walking out of the library with a magazine.
I had a bunch of papers and binders in my hands that I was working with and I was reading a copy of The Economist earlier. I put on my headphones and just grabbed all the papers and folders in my arms, and walked out. Apparently I set off the sensor alarm which I didn't hear because of headphones, I think I made about 20 feet down the hallway before being violently tackled to the ground from behind by 2 very burly men and having my arm twisted behind my back. Naturally all my crap went flying every which way.
I was escorted back to the library and after being a smart-ass to this rent-a-cop several times, I was handcuffed. Naturally I was quite pissed not only at being violently manhandled for what I thought was one of the stupidest things you could possibly be charged with, but I felt insulted that I had to put up with this asshole on a power trip who threatened to prosecute me over a library magazine. It took a lot of ass-kissing and pride-swallowing to wrest myself free of the manacles and being let go "with a warning".
So remember, the library takes these matters seriously.
