-- What of the following describes you best as a person, in relation to how much you respect the law, and the legal authorities ?
I comsider myself a good person who does not want to do harm to anyone. I always try my best to follow the rules and be a law obiding citizen, and I hope to never knowingly do anything illegal. Ok, so why am I taking this poll ? Well, there was this misunderstanding at one point, I was wrongly accused and to my horror I ended up arrested / detained
I comsider myself a good and law obiding citizen, I try to follow the rules and generally want to avoid trouble. However everyone makes a bad judgemant or mistakes on occasion, and i am not an exception of this.
I dont think I am a bad person, but i cant say I was ( or still am ) someone who easily stays out of trouble. It is not by choice though, the influence of drugs or alcohol makes you do stupid things.
I was often on the streets and generally had a hard life, despite this, i tried to stay on the good side of the law and to be out of trouble. It wasmt easy and I sometimes failed.
I had ( or still have ) a hard life, I often broke the law, and i am used to being in trouble. I know this is not good but this is who I am. I dont think I can ever become your perfect quiet law obiding citizen.
I am a rebelios person, i dont have much respect for authority and for the laws the authorities impose on us. Of course, I often have to suffer the consequencies for my desobidiance... well so be it !

I was detained for a while at the airport / border crossing after they identified something suspecios on me, but the best I know I was not charged with any offence
I am not sure of the reason or what my offence was, it was never explained to me / I didnt quite understand it
The reason for my arrest was much different or more complicated then any of the options given, you can explain if you wish :
-- What of the following is true for your case ?
I was wrongly accused and not responsible or involved in any way about the offence i was accused of
While I was marginally involved or responsible for some of the things I was accused of, I was defenatelly wrongly accused about most other things
I was fully aware the activity i was involved in is illegal, and that i could suffrt consequencies for in the future
I was fully aware the activity I was involved in is illegal, but I didnt think it was anything serios, and didnt expect much problems for me if I am caught
I knew ( or suspected ) some of the things I was doing are questionable or that the authorities do not approve if them, but i had no idea they are outright illegal or that i can end up arrested beacouse of it
I honestly had no idea I have done something wrong, the first time I learned about it was when the police showed up ( or simular )
While I was not personally accused of any specific wrongdoing, the authorities strongly bellived I am witholding information, or covering for someone ( They were wrong )
While I was not personally accused of any specific wrongdoing, the authorities strongly bellived I am witholding information, or covering for someone ( I indeed wanted to protect someone who was close to me and for whom I cared )
-- Do you think arresting and / or detaining you was justified and necessery ?
No! I absolutely dont think it was justified, I was wrongly accused, they had litle proof to back their accusation against me, and they knew it !
No, it was not justified, I was wrongly accused, and while I could not proove this at the time, I made it clear I am willing to sit down with them ( or even acompany them to the station ) so everything could be cleared up. Instead i was treated as a criminal, handcuffed and dragged away
It was not justified, but I guess it was necessery. I was wrongly accused, however i had no real way to proove this at the time, and the officers were simply doing their job, so I saw no other way then to surrender to them
I bellive arresting or detaining me was not fully justified. The offence I commited was minor, and I bellive I should have gotten away with a mere warning or at worst a fine
It doesnt matter now if it was justified or not, in any case I didnt make much fuss over it beacouse to be honest i was curios ( or even excited ) about what is going to happen to me ( or simular )
Arresting me was justified beacouse I indeed commited an offence. However giving me all the " perks " ( handcuffs, officers yelling at me, twisting of arms etc. ) was not justified at all since i cooperated fully and was not violent in any way
Arresting me was perhaps justified, what in my openion was not justified at all were the harshness, and all the unnecessery procedures they put me thru, later when I was in castody ( procedures such as stripsearch, interrogations, forced showers or gyno exams etc )
Arresting me was justified, however making a spectacle of it, desturbing or traumatizing my friends or family was really not necessery, they could have been lot more descrete in my openion
Arresting me was justified, however arresting ( or at least taking along ) some of my friends or family just beacouse they hapened to be there was totally not justified or necessery
Yes my arrest was justified, i commited an offence, and I had to suffer the consequencies
My openion on this is different then any of the options, You can explain if you wish :

I was with my parents or other close family
I was alone with my children
When I went to the door, I had no idea the authorities are outside
When I went to the door I knew the authorities are there but i had no idea they are here to arrest me
When the authorities arrived, I suddanly, started questioning some of my prior activities and I had the first pang of panic or fear that they are here for me ( or simular )
When I realized the police is there, I knew ( or strongly suspected ) they are there for me
I suspected the authorities are there for me, but i wasnt sure of the exact reason, and since I wasnt alone in the house I asked everyone to stay away so I can see what this is about and deal with it alone ( or simular )
When i saw the authorities comming, I knew what it was about so I simply went out to meet them and surrendured peacefully ( or simular )
When I realized the authorities are comming I tried to run away thru a back door, but I didnt get far
The authorities were not there specifically for me, but after they found something suspecios / illegal inside my home, I was arrested / detained for further questioning
The home was searched in my presence
I asked what exactly are they looking for, but I wasnt told, or wasnt told very precisly
They told me what they are looking for, and I was asked to point out where this item is, but I had no idea what they are talking about
I was asked to point out where the item they are looking for is, I told them immidiately
I pretended not to know what they are talking about
I refused to tell them
Though the search of my home revealed nothing of consequence, I was still arrested on other charges
Even though, the search of my home revealed nothing of conseqience, I was still taken away for more questioning ( technically I wasnt arrested )
The authorities actually looked for someone else, but when they didnt find this person(s) they took me instead for further questioning
They found the other person(s) they were looking for, but i was also taken along
I was questioned while they searched the home
There wasnt a search of the home, but they did spend some time questioning me, before i was taken away

They handcuffed everyone who was in the home
They only handcuffed the men while they searched the house, I was handcuffed a bit later, when it was time to take us away
I was handcuffed in the presence of my children
I asked the officers to handcuff me later so my children wouldnt see me like this, but I was ignored, or was told it must be done this way
The officers showed understanding, and led me away from the children before handcuffing me ( or simular )
I was given enough time to dress properly before I was taken away
-- If you were arrested at a public protest :
I participated in a peaceful protest with little or no incidents
There were some confrontations or incidents yet overall the protest was orderly
As far as I know the protest was meant to be peaceful, but soon turned violent
I participated in a spontanios, confrontational, and at times violent protest
It wasnt a mere protest, it was a riot
I was not participating in the protest, I was arrested just beacouse I happened to be at the wrong place in the wrong time
I was one of the organizers, or a more promenent participant in some way
I was not involved in any incidents, or confrontations with the police or other protestors

I never started any incidents myself, but i physically reacted when the police or oposing protestors assulted me
I admit I was involved in some of the incidents or direct physical confrontations with the police
I was one of the few protestors who removed my top and exposed my breasts as a sign of protest
I was one of the many protestors who exposed their breasts as a sign of protest
I know ( or strongly suspect ) I was arrested beacouse I showed some nudity
When I went to the protest, I expected it to e peacefu;, and never expected to be arrested
I was fully aware of the possibility, but somehow I didnt expect to happen to me
I was aware the authorities do not approve of this protest, so I knew the possibility to be arrested is realistic and significant
I knew / suspected in advance, some of the protestors are going to do something contravesial ( but not illegal ) so I knew there could be arrests, and I could be one of those arrested
This was a kind of an event, where the participants intentionally commit some kind of offence as a form of protest against saomething, so basicly I knew in advance I am likely to be arrested
Even if I knew I was going to be arrested, I am sure I was still going to attend the protest and was going to behave the same
I know for sure, I wasnt going to attend the protest , or at least I was going to behave differently, if I knew in advance about the arrest
I was detained befor I was able to leave the protest after it turned violent
I did leave the protest, but the authorrities tracked me down and arrested me at some other location
I surrendered calmly when I realized I cant avoid the arrest
We knew in advance what is going to happenm so we stood in a line waiting to be frisked and handcuffed one by one
I did not ressist physically, but I continued to yell or chant while they were arresting me
I ressisted hard as they were trying to handcuff me
I was pushed to the ground in the chaos, then handcuffed before I could start to ressist
I had the oportunity to leave in time and avoid the arrest, but I didnt want to be a coward who runs at the first sign of trouble
I stayed and allowed myself to be arrested as a solidarity with my friends or other protestors
Some of my friends, who had the oportunity to leave, stayed behind in solidarity with me, after I was taken in castody

Though I knew it was comming, I did not place my hands behind back until I was told to, at this point I complied right away
I stood there with my hands hanging at my sides, somehow hoping they are going to forget or forgo the handcuffs, of course they didnt
There were others there, I followed their example, and did the same when it was my turn
I asked if handcuffs are really necessery, considering how cooperative I was, they said it is necessery, so I placed my hands behind back without further comments
I turned my head and looked down over my shoulder to observe how the officer is applying the handcuffs around my wrists
I recall, giving the restraints slight tugs or testing their tightness

I was not handcuffed while they searched the car
I was to fearful or ashamed to complain about anything, including the unprofessional and humiliating frisk
The frisk was intrusive and I complained about it
For me, the frisk was not as much of a problem, as it was the rediculous position I had to hold while they performed it ( or simular )
To me, the frisk seemed more like a stripsearch then a quick check which is sopposed to be
The others ( if there were others ) who were also arrested, were frisked in a same or simular way as myself

They immidiatelly loosened them after I complained
They finally loosened them after I bothered them and whined for a while
The handcuffs were very uncomfortable but I was to afraid to say anything
Based on the expiriance from my prior arrests I knew it was ussualy pointless, they tend to ignore you, so I said nothing and continued to endure the descomfort
I said nothing about the descomfort of the handcuffs, I did not want to look like a wimp
I didnt like it, but I could handle the descomfort, there was no need to humiliate myself further by asking for the handcuffs to be loosened
I couldnt ask for the handcuffs to be loosened, I was in a foreign country , and spoke little of their language
I assumed, this is how handcuffs should be - uncomfortable, so i said nothing ( or simular )

I wasnt shocked, since I knew such things happened, but having to stand there chained was still very uncomfortable and embaressing
I couldnt bellive, in this day and age people are still treated like this !
I thought standing there chained was bad and humiliating, which it was, but little did I know much worse things will follow
I didnt like it, but at the time it was necessery
I am used to being in trouble, so this wasnt such a big deal for me
I became aroused, when they handcuff me to an object

There was a large number of detained people so they kept us in a converted car garage or strige space or some other space which can hold lots of people at one time
I was not placed in a jail cell as such, but I was locked in some other room or other place
I was still handcuffed while I waited at the place I indicated above
I was in a jail cell only once while I was in castody
I was in a jail cell twice or more times at one single time I was in castody
Every time I was in a jail cell I was alone
Some or all of the people who were arrested with me shared the jail cell with me
I shared the jail cell with indiciduals I dont know / dont know well at all
I knew some of them are in jail cells close by but I could not see or communicate with them ( or simular )
I was handcuffed while I was in a jail cell
I was in leg irons while inside the jail cell
I was shackled to the wall or restrained to a fixed object while I was in a jail cell
All others, ( if there were others ) were restrained the same or simular way as I was
I was partly naked while in the jail cell
I was fully naked while in the jail cell
All others ( if there were others ) were partly or fully naked, while in the cell
I was in an orange uniform ( or simular clothing ) while I was in the jail cell
The jail cell was the first place they took me to, after I arrived at the police station or the place where I would be in castody
Other things went on first ( fingerprinting, photographing, stripsearch etc. ) when those were done I was placed in a jail cell for the first time ( or simular )
Though I couldnt quite bellive I am sitting in a jail cell, I think I remained degnified enough, and didnt make much fuss out of it
I wasnt so upset about the jail cell as I was about the state I was in while in there
I was very embarresed to be in a jil cell
There was a bunk bed or a bench where I could sit
I had to sit on the floor
I had to stand all or much of the time since the restraints did not allow me to sit, if you wish you can explain how this was :
On at least one occasion while I was in castody, I was placed in what can be dedcribed as solitary confinmant or some sort of punishmant cell, you can describe it if you wish :
-- Did you undergo a strip or cavity search ?
No there was nothing of the sort
No, they performed another frisk, but there was not a stripsearch as such
I had to take my shirt off, but nothing more then this
I had to undress on at least one occasion while I wasin castody, but I am not sure if it was meant as a stripsearch or some sort of intimidation tactic
It was clear to me the " stripsearch " was an intimidation tactic rather then a search for anything on my person
Yes, I had to strip to my inderwear
Yes, I had to strip down to my panties
Yes, fully naked
I had a full oral vaginal and anal cavity search
I cooperated without cimplaining much
I was crying the entire time of the stripsearch
i whined and complained but I was not crying openly
I started to cry when they performed the cavity search
I was a bit ashamed
I was extremly ashamed
The most humiliating moment of my life
I had little problem to be naked in front of others, so it wasnt a big deal for me
While the stripsearch was very unpleasent, I was lot more preocupied with other worries, or with what will happen to me in the future
I didnt like it, yet, I could tolerate just taking my clothes off, what I could not tolerate was doing it while I am wrongly accused and treted as a criminal
Just taking my clothes off was not such a big deal, but allowing someone to do a cavity search, now that was a big problem for me
While it was very embarresing and generally very unpleasent for me, I bellive i went thru the stripsearch in a relatively degnified and stoic way
i was not allowed to put any on my clothes back on, when the stripsearch was over
i was only allowed to put my underwear on after the stripsearch was over
I was allowed to put on some of my clothes, but not all
I had to put on an orange uniform, or some other clothes they provided
I underwent two or more separate stripsearches, in one single time i was in castody
They found drugs on my person
They found stolen items on my person
They found some things which belonged to me, but they isisted they are stolen or said I am not sopposed to have them, so they were taken from me
They found nothing, there was nothing to be found
I was stripsearched alone
There was one more person searched at the same time as i was
There were at least few others, or many others, were searched together with me
Most or all of the others were my friends or family
-- Were you restrained in any of the following ( or simular ) ways, at some point while in castody ?

I was restrained in some other position , not related to any of the options you can explain if you wish :
I was facing the wall while I was restrained in the position I indicated
I was hooded or blindfolded for some time while I was restrained like this
I was fully naked
-- How this affected you physically and emotionally ?
It did not take long for the position they put me in to become stressful
I wasnt bothered much at first, but after a while it became stressful or painful for me to be in this
I was shocked to be restrained like this, never expecting such thing to happen to me
I was more embarresed by the way I was restrained, then by my nudity
While it was very unpleasent and embarresing for me, i did not cry, and generally remained degnified and quiet
I was restrained the way I indicated during the strip and cavity search
They left me restrained in the way I indicated, after the stripsearch was done
I was restrained like this, just before or at the begining of the interrogation
I was restrained the way I indicated at some later point while the interrogation went on

Standing, holding my arms high in the air
Standing, my legs and arms spread , and supporting myself at the wall in front of me
Kneeling, my hands at the back of my head
I had to hold some other position much different then any of the options :
I had to face the wall for the entire time I was in the position I indicated
I was hooded or blindfolded
I was not bothered much having to hold such position
I was not very embarresed, but after a time it became difficult
The position I had to hold became stressful for me
I was not allowed to shift into a more comfortable position when I asked
I was yelled at or thretened, when I asked to go to a more natural position , or when I tried to shift into one on my own
I had to hold the position(s) I indicated while the stripsearch was going on
I had to hold the position(s) I indicated while the interrogation was going on
I had to hold this position at some other time while in castody
Some, but not all of the others ( if there were others ) had ro hold a same or simular position as I had
All of the others had to hold the same or simular position as I had
At least in part, my cooperation was obtained thru the stress and descomfort of the position I had to hold
-- If you were interrogated /. questioned while you were in castody, what of the following is true for your case ?
They asked me questions, mostly related to my offence ( or alleged offence ), but i cant really describe this as an interrogation
I was indeed interrogated, but it was relatively short, and in my openion nothing was done on perpose to make it scary or humiliating
I consider myself relatively tough, their efforts to intimidate me failed for the most part
Their efforts to intimidate me failed for the most part, but they did manige to make me worried about other things in the future
The interrogation was not such a big deal, however that was my first ( or only ) time to be arrested or detained, so everything including the interrogation appeared more intimidating then it really was ( or simular )
Embarresing, but not very traumatic or scary
The interrogation was not particulary scary, but it was very himiliating
I underwent a serios and intimidating interrogation session(s)
I underwent a very scary. stressful and humiliating interrogation sessio(s)
I underwent a scary, humiliating and at times even painful interrogation session(s)
The interrogation bordered on torture at times
I was used to police stations, arrests or even jails, yet even for me at least one of those sessions was very intimidating
I had two or more interrogations in one single time I was in castody
The Interrogation(s) lasted about half an hour or less
Around one hour
Up to three hours
Longer then three hours
I was interrogated alone
One or two other individuals were interrogated together with me
All the individuals who were arrested / detained with me, were also interrogated
I am not sure if all of them were interrogated
-- What was your emotional state, and how did you generally feel as the interrogation went on ?
I dont recall clearly, but i am sure I was not happy to be there
Mostly neutral, there wasnt much to worry or fear
Neutral ignorant or desmissive
I was to much in shock and to numb to feel or show much of an emotion, they came later though
Annoyed or irritated
Angry
I was suprised with myself, for how strong, and relativelly unafraid I was
I was suprised and / or dessapointed with myself for how intimidated I became, I considered myself to be much tougher then that
A bit confused, but generally i wasnt very emotional or panicy
I could not help but feel slightly worried or even a bit of fear, mostly beacouse I was not used to be in a situation like this, yet on intelectual level I knew I had little to worry
I somehow felth silly or stupid to be in this situation
I was worried considerably
My thoughts and worries were more about someone else for whom I care, then for myself
I was suprised to find myself more worried about another person then for myself, I didnt realize I care so much for this person(s)
I was intimidated to some degree, but not strictly fearful
I was afraid
I felth a degree of panic or anxiaty
Embarresed, mostly for the fact i am detained and considered an offender ( or simular )
Embarresed, the reason, was of more immidiate nature such as nudity or the restraints
Embarresed for some other reasons, or no specific reasons
Humiliated
Open and volnerable, it was as if the interrogator can read my mind
I felth releaf when they listened to what I have to say without outright oassing judgemant on me or my actions ( or simular )
I was embarresed yes, but also a bit curios
I was aroused or excited in some way ( this was a big siprise if not a shock for me )
I was aroused or excited in some way ( this bothered me and I hated it )
I was aroused or excited ( this was not a big issue for me )
I did not try at all to hide my emotions
I tried my best to appear stronger then i was, or generally to hide my emotions, but I think I failed
Actualy I exagurated and pretended to be more emotional or volnerable then I really was, I hoped for some leniancy
Beside the interrogation, I expirianced same or simular emotions or behavior at some other times while I was in castody
-- In your openion, how cooperative you were, and what influenced your level of cooperation ?
i cooperated fully, I answered all theri question the best i could, and did not try to withhold any information, I also think the interrogator was more or less convinced I am telling the truth
While I tried my best to cooperate fully, I am not sure the interrogator was convinced in my honesty
Basicly I had little or no idea of what they are talking about, i was a wrong person, and couldnt tell them much
I was a bit confused, so my answers were hesetant or slow in comming, but I generally wanted to cooperate fully
I intended to cooperate fully, yet I was so shocked and confused by what is happening to me, I couldnt properly answer any of their questions
I answered the more general questions, but i was evasive or gave sparse information when the questioning went into more sensitive subjects
They seemed to be convinced I know lot more then I really did, so the lack of answers, comming from me was interpreted as unwilingness for cooperation
I didnt really want to cooperate, yet when I realized how much they know already or the evidence they had, I just decided to give up and get it over with
I cooperated to some degree, but mostly so i could try to shift the focus of me or to place the blame on someone else entirely
I ressisted / cooperated poorly, until they were able to obtain the information I was trying to withold, from somebody else, at this point my ressistance became pointless
I tried to protect someone I care about by placing the blame mostly on myself or shifting the focus elsewhere
I tried to tell as much half thruts or lies as I can
I was talking to them, yes, but I wasnt really telling them much of substance
I stobornly ressisted by saying I dont know the answers or I simply said nothing, or I lied
When they arrested me, they said I have the right to remain silant, so I did
I ressisted as much ( if not more ( for the sake of protecting someone for whom I care, as it was to protect myself
I started to cooperate only after I was thretened
I continued to ressist or did not cooperate fully, even after they thretened me
I started cooperating only after i was hit, or they increased my physical descomfort
I continued to ressist, even after I was hit or they increased my descomfort
I think at least some of my lies worked
My attempt to lie failed misserably
I think my atempt to protect someone I care about worked to some degree
My atempt to protect someone failed
My atempt to protect someone not only failed, but it made the situation worse for me and this person
-- Do you think your cooperation, or a lack of it, was the right thing to do in the given situation ?
Yes, cooperating fully, it was the right thing to do
In the given situation it was the right thing to do, though I am not sure I would be so cooperative if this happen to me againm or if the situation is different in some way
I cant put it into the right or wrong category, however cooperating was the only thing I could do to avoid further or bigger problems
I still think confessing to my offence was the right thing to do
Though I gave a false confession, I still think ot was the right, or at least the only realistic thing to do in the given situation
Giving a false confession was a mistake
At the time I thought it is best to cooperate, I am not so sure any more considering how many of the things I said were later used against me
I did cooperate, and i will probably do it again in the future, but next time i am going to be lot more careful of what i am saying
I was forced to cooperate under threats or under duress, it was not a choice for me
I ressisted, and at the time i was proud or pleased with myself, it was foolish of me, considering all the trouble it got me into
I ressisted / cooperated poorly, I think it was the right thing to do in the given situation
I refused to cooperate mostly to protect someone I care about, and I am still proud of it, it was the right thing to do
I refused to cooperate mostly to protect someone I care about, I even suffered serios consequencies beacouse if it, yet I still think it was the right thing to do
My advice to anyone who is reading this would be, if you can save yourself, then do it, dont play a hero by trying to protect others, I did so and I regreted it

This was simply the worst moment of my life

All I wanted was to be taken out of there, away to a more private place
I hoped beyond hope this is some sort of nightmare
I was about to faint
I was angry for getting myself in this situation
I was angry with someone else who brought me in this situation
I was mostly angry at the judicial system, for the overly harsh a nd unfair punishmant

No, I was never in handcuffs before and havent given it much thought until I witnessed the arrest of someone else, this made me curios
No, I was never in handcuffs before, and havent given it much thought, however I became curios / aroused by the handcuffs as they were placed on me during the arrest, so after the whole incident was over I started expirimenting with bondage
I had ( and still had ) a pair of genuine police handcuffs, I sometimes played ( and still play ) with them when I am alone and in the proper mood
I used to play with handcuffs before the arrest, the appeal demineshed or dessapeared after I realized the real thing is not what I imagined ( or simular )
There was one time when I asked a friend who is a police officer to demonstrate an arrest procedure on myself
Yes, I played role play games with some friends, in some of which I was handcuffed or otherwise restrained
I had my hands tied by rope before, but I was never handcuffed befpre the arrest / detention
When I was a child, we played some games where my friends used plastic toy handcuffs on me

I feel uncomfortable, especially if there are individuals around who knew I was arrested
I am not just uncomfortable, I am quite embarresed, if there are individuals who know I was arrested
Some of the emotions I had when I was arrested come back with great intensity, any time I see such a scene or witness it in real
I feel like everyone is looking at me, which is probably just my imagination, but I cant help feel this way
I feel as if everyone around me knows I was arrested once, and is waiting for my reaction
Often I say or think something like " Oh God, I was once in this same situation "
My reaction is one of curiosity or interest, I compare how I behaved, with what I see of this other person ( or simular )

I am glad, to finally see someone who is willing to listen to my side of the story
I became aroused or excited in some way
I was suprised to find a poll on this subject
Perhaps I am a little masochistic, I feel like the [articipation in this poll is a deserved extension of my punishmant
-- Were you suprised by some of the questions in this poll ?
Not really, most of the questions were what I expected
There were some unussual aspects or options, but generally it was what I expected
The questions were not much different then what other people had already ask me many times before
This is the first time I participate in a poll on this subject, which in itself is unussual or suprising to me
Yes, I was suprised that you wanted to know about my emotional state

Yes, I was suprised about all the details you wanted to know related to the interrogation
