I have been arrested almost as many times as tfg....never once did they weigh me [View all]

they always asked my height and weight..

I would like to know if there is anyone on DU that has been arrested and actually asked to step up on a scale

I don't think any sort of medical intake/weighing would be done pretrial prodigitalson Aug 2023 #8

THat is correct--- UNLESS they are refused bail and are incarcerated pending trial hlthe2b Aug 2023 #11
