I can relate to that. Due to the fact that I've been a drinking buddy with my old schoolmates, of whom several became LEO's here in Buggtussell, I've pretty much ridden in "Lancelot's Armor". Hell, we were mean little Boy Scouts together. Now were mean old fat guys together.
And I've even pushed my association with my betters to the breaking point. Then again, as I've been told, "It's not like you beat up the local minister." Or, "I gotta admire you, you crazy bastard." Nothing that I would care to make a habit of, but, if the shoe fits...
If I'd have pulled half the stunts I've pulled here anywhere else, they'd still be pumping daylight to me. Then again, I've pulled some pretty good stunts in places where they didn't know who I was...just managed to "get my ass out of Dodge" before they found out who I was.
Now I'm old, and somewhat respectable, donate money to good causes, etc, etc. But people who know me are still cautious about getting too close to my perimeter.
And I've had the pleasure of retiring to a few drunk tanks, last one in Houston TX, but it's been about 35 yrs ago.
