"You can go to the hospital or go to jail!"
Often, dear Officer, there are far more options than those, and your threat of incarceration usually frightens people into a completely unnecessary ambulance ride to an even more unnecessary hospital, all to avoid whatever it is you don't want to do.
Usually.
Tonight, not so much.
"I'm not going to the hospital, I don't need it."
"I agree Officer, our assessment finds this man able to make his own decisions and we're going to let him refuse."
"You can go to the hospital or go to jail!"
"Then take me to jail!"
On go the cuffs while the officers debate what the charge is.
Well played, citizen, well played.
