You dont usually go to jail for something that is immediately recoverable. (albeit embarrassing) .
Detention might be in order though. Maybe we need a computer hacker equivalent of the drunk tank https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunk_tank https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunk_tank
As a completely aside rant, we should levee a fee to alcohol companies to fund these drunk tanks, it makes no sense for that to be taxpayer/police budget funded.
- dylan604 5y agoOr why not just have the occupant of said drunk tank fund it by paying a fine? Oh wait, they do that already by having arrested you and now commiting a portion of your future life dealing with the courts and the fines they levy.
- maerF0x0 5y agoi see, i guess it's locale dependent then. Where I'm from the drunk tank is mostly a catch and release program where people spend the night so they're not a danger to others, but really aren't worth prosecuting. What you said might work where you are though.
- dylan604 5y agoYeah, if the police detain you to a drunk tank, you've been arrested. If they just think you're being a nuisance for being intoxicated, they issue a 'public intox' ticket. Either way, courts and fines are in your future. Interactions with police rarely ends with out some sort of dip into your wallet. Fun fact, if you are arrested while in possession of any kind of narcotics, most departments will place you in the drunk tank as well until you are arraigned.
