I've always thought about being arrested…the fear and the degradation (obviously that varies hugely depending on the crime). But the thing that always deterred me was embarrassment. There are so many crimes you could be busted for that would make you blush like a cheeky sailor, from the obviously horrible such as kiddie-touching to more minor, stupid offenses like petty theft or vandalism. But then there are pointless crimes that are broadcast to everyone you know, and a lot of people you don't. Imagine how stupid the cruel asshole who did this must now feel…
