Am I immune to being charged with a crime in my county?

"Where's the Trolley Boy?"
"In the freezer."
"Did you say 'Cool Off?'"
"No, I didn't say anything."
"Shame."
"Well, there was this bit that you missed earlier where I distracted him with the cuddly monkey then I said 'Play Time's Over,' and then I hit him in the head with the Peace Lilly!"
"You're off the F***ing Chain!!"

Sarge: What're your stats today?

Me: No paper today sarge. No lock-ups either

Sarge: So what have you been doing today?

Me: Quoting the whole movie "Hot Fuzz" on Real Police

Sarge: So what are we paying you for?

Me: Hey, "you wanna be a big cop in a small town? F--- off up the model village!" I'm going home now, is my relief here?

Sarge: Yeah, we'll put in a call to Aaron A. Aaronson, shall we?

A guy I know is running for District Attorney of the county in which I reside. He is a respected law professor whom is running unopposed. When an arrest is made, or when an individual wants to press charges, the decision of whether or not to pursue charges is in the DA's hands.

The way I know him is that we are both regulars at the same cigar lounge. I have been to a few parties at his house. So, I know him well enough that he won't want to pursue charges against me, but at the same time, the fact that we know each other is not really common knowledge, so no one would know he's showing favoritism.

He's already told me, just don't do anything horrific, or frequent.

So, if I do something minor, like simple assault, or underage drinking, (I'm 20) am I home free?

Oh, and while many prosecuting decisions are made by Assistant DAs, the lead DA always knows of the cases and decisions going on in his office, and he can override his staff's decision on whether a given case is a go or no go.

And again, he's already said, just don't do anything horrific, don't make a habbit getting arrested frequently and don't do anything that would make the headlines. He will take office this May, so if I'm right here, am I in for a hell of a summer?

I know, I'm a bit late with my answer but your complete posts sounds like you have smoked something illegal before you started posting.

And - Some Person - has anyone in your family done suicide anytime before? No? Don't you think it is time to break that tradition now?

You are probably going to be in good shape. You will even probably be able to get onto any police department later because you have this friend, so live it up and don't worry about any consequences

I'm always learning something new on this website. In New York, what you call 'cigar lounges' are known as 'gay bathhouses'. Cultural diversity is a funny thing!

Anyway, best of luck to your... 'friend'. I'm sure he's happy to have you behind him. 'In his court', so to speak.

Alright, gentlemen...

I think we can agree that we've taken this one as far as it can be expected to go.
