Did it hurt when you hit your head?
Yes, but nowhere near as much as it would have if I'd had a machete in my pants!
I'm also remembering a few times when I had to hotwire a Freightliner I drove for awhile.....
It's nice to know I'm not the only one who sometimes feels like Lucy Ricardo, lol, and that I never needed a lawyer to help 'splain' it.
I too hope the OP will keep us updated as to the developments in his experience, cause it is pretty inneresting, as well as comical.

2 Questions come to my mind....
Okay, here we go...
Get ready now...
#1----
Why not use a shopping cart? C'mon, let's face it, we all are quilty of going into a Walmart (I prefer Meijer) and end up coming out with more than we plan on getting to begin with.
#2----
Instead of bringing a tape measure from the van to the store, why not use one from the hardware dept? The packaging usually lets you measure things without disturbing the packaging.
Just wondering, that's all....lol..
I hope this turns out to youre benefit, and leaves youre record unblemished.

Fair enough it would be unfortunate to get introuble for something you didnt do and never planned to

He is young and he wasn't thinking. Nothing new about that. I did some stuff at that age that wouldnt have looked good on a background check either, but for the most part I, like this kid, was not a troublemaker. He just needs to see this as what it is...or could be and do what damage control he can.
If it turns out that he is not being honest with us and this is the sort of thing he does do.... time will show it.
I don't have an MX license, but I did sleep in a Bentz sleeper last night.

O .. K ... I guess ...
To start with I think you are using that as an excuse for being treated as you were, we don't know what the situation is and brining it up like you did is actually funny the way you put it.
This does not mean that the situation is funny, we, including one person who has a legal team with him at all times has given you rather important advice - GET A LAWYER. I can add something else to that advice that may be relative to your career in this industry, you may not find a company allow you to sign with them outside some rinky dink company. If you go to court without a lawyer who deals with criminal cases and lose, well that pops up on the criminal background check a bunch of companies do and they won't care what reasoning you have to offer.
I can guess why that it what it is, maybe it is up in your mind or you made a big deal about it and they razz you every chance they get.
Well here is the thing, it doesn't take a lot of thought to think 'if I do this, they will do that so I should be careful'. I mean and to be very clear about this, if you know you are a target, then don't act foolish. The cops will find every reason for them to 'pick on you' so sticking something in your pants is a good enough reason for them to act within the law.
Do you have pants with large pockets?
Is that a metaphor, or do you mean, like actual lilac bushes?
That bit about the machetes is probably the worst of it. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I think of MX walking through a Wal-Mart with a couple of machetes stuck in his pants, the only thing that comes to mind is a pirate. Specifically a Caribbean pirate in the early 1700s. While most of them favored either cutlasses or pistols, there were a number who would grab anything that could be used as a weapon-- like machetes for instance-- and use what they had when they stormed a prize.
Arrrrgh!
Arrrrgh!
