"While putting up flyers for the International Chiptune Resistance show at The Tank this coming Saturday, Nullsleep and Bit Shifter were approached by two plainclothes police officers, arrested, handcuffed, informed that 'a cleaner New York is a safer New York,' and taken to the NYPD 9th Precinct police station for processing and a nice stay in the NYPD's luxurious high-security accommodations. Stripped of belts and shoelaces (to prevent suicide by hanging), the police missed Bit Shifter's camera/web-phone, allowing exploitation of some irresistible photo-op moments, as well as a unique opportunity to set Bit Shifter's AIM away message to 'I'm in jail.'" [Photos from jail @ Bit Shifter's website]

this happened to a musician friend of mine about 2 years ago. none of them had previous criminal records but were taken to jail for hanging posters.
