Youthful behavior is criminalized now. We had so much freedom. Look at the movies made in the 60s and 70s. Such a fun time with cops that helped us home instead of arresting us for throwing eggs and other fun stuff.
Sheriff caught me and my older brother blowing up stumps in a field about 2 or 3 miles from the house; he said he was taking us home to our Mother, we almost begged him to take us to jail instead.
Heard him tell his partner as they left the house, “might have been better for us (me and my brother) if he HAD taken us to jail”.
My Mom was well known in those parts and you sure didn’t want to cross her.
Now days we would have just been hauled straight to a federal detention center and put on a permanent terrorist watch list.
