Well you don't do drugs, strike me as someone who would be commit a property crime, or as someone who would be involved in anything violent. That leaves me with some kind of civil disobedience. Probably you were at a protest or a rally, something happened which caused the police to start oppressing the peacefully assembled masses (that you may have even helped instigate the peaceful assembly of) and you started protesting the police trampling on the first amendment rights of the peacefully assembled masses. Or if you were an instigator of the peaceful assembly of the masses they haul you in saying you didn't fill out the forms correctly or that the people started congregating outside the sanctioned area or something. Especially if you were involved in planning you don't look intimidating and therefore are the one the cops are going to not think twice about cuffing. An example of something like that happening is when Michael Moore was arrested during the filming of the Rage Against the Machine video "Sleep Now in the Fire" (the one that was filmed on Wall St, also the first time Michael Moore was arrested for civil disobedience). He was the one who looked like he couldn't hurt one of the cops even if he did resist, and he looked like the least likely candidate to resist as well. I know I would rather try to cuff him than Tim C (RATM's bass player) who is huge and has shirtsleeve tats etc. EDIT: I love that after reading the other comments I see I'm the 4th of the 7 responses to say something related to protesting. You radical. Just give up the electron or steal another one you DNA raping cancer causing terrorist :)
Yeah, it amuses me so many people say for protesting. I do think it's more likely than just about anything else - except perhaps calzephyr77 implying they're hauling me off to the loony bin! :-P
