I remember this - in grade school we had a field trip to the local jail. They showed us around (I remember being freaked out by the toilets and cameras!), told us if we didn't respect our parents and the cops that we'd end up in jail there, then fingerprinted us all. This was 1985 and I'm sure it required a permission slip but jesus what a weird thing to do to little kids.

For me, it was something like a Safeway that had a table and lines of parents and children. I hated the experience.

Think we went as cub scouts, or maybe it was at school, but do remember being fingerprinted. Early 1990s.

I did that too. They told me that my dad had been there before and I was shocked. Both of my parents had to spend a lot of time convincing me that this was absolutely not true. I thought my dad was just awful for a while. Guess what, it was true.

You are more likely to end up in jail if you disrespect your parents and cops, especially cops.

They did this to us and they locked the whole group in a cell but somehow missed me, guess I uh really did learn about the real world that day.
