It's comforting to know that at 5:30 in the morning you can be woken up and arrested for something you had no idea was illegal.
Psychology plays a big role in being arrested. The police will toy with you all the way to the station. The hangcuffs, they put you in the same league as any of the worst rapists or mass murderers as does anyother procedure you've seen on tv or in a movie. The fingerprinting with ink is completely unecessary. They could have much more advanced equipment that could do it just as well in a fraction of the time, but it is not about speed. It is about control. Sheer power to control where you put your hands and how they can take all the time from you that they want. They hold your hand (with gloves on) and physically move your fingers where they want them. If the psychological submission isn't obvious to the detainee, the brute force the officer has over their often used and easily breakable fingers. The temperature of the room you are in is cold. You are starved for information, for friendly contact. They control what you hear... except when they read the miranda rights... Oh the miranda rights... how I love thee.... how I would cut and burn and kill for thee... sweet words of rights and freedoms coming from the mouth of my oppressor! I was so pleased to hear him growl my right to remain silent that I smiled for one of my mug shots.
