Do you not have people in your life who understand that the police lock people up for bullshit all the time? Why would they assume you deserved it? You need less ignorant people in your life (don't we all)

Most honorable? Just tell them you made a stupid mistake. You don't need to share the details. Will they talk? Sure. But you don't need to share if you don't want to.

Least shameful? You were mistaken for someone else who made a stupid mistake and didn't have your ID on you. They let you go when they realized you weren't who they thought.

Tell people you pissed in some holy water or something lol

or tell people to mind their own business / you dont want to talk about it / it's a big upcoming case youll all find out soon on foxnews

Less shameful than what? What's the real reason?

Don’t do that stupid thing again or anything like it.

Drunk tank, speeding ticket over the limit.

Seppuku

How shameful is the truth of the matter, OP? Can you share it with us internet strangers? 👀

You hit an ice agent in front of the police.

Just fucking own it and do better. Downplaying it means not only do people still think badly of you, but now they know you also don't take responsibility for your own actions and instead lie about them.

You also don't have to be specific about what happened, only that you are actively improving yourself and what steps you are taking to do so.

Edit: You are taking steps to actively improve yourself, right?

Least shameful would probably be drunk tank. Anyone who drinks has overdone it at some point, some people were just unlucky and happened to be noticed by an officer

Some dude was hitting a girl so you hit him and got pulled up for it. But also consider just taking the truth because people will more or less react the same way and you don't have to worry about them believing you or maintaining that lie.

Most honorable != Least shameful

It's really nobody's else's business. They could do that for literally nothing.
