Marcus Brown made it 5 feet onto Main Street from the alley he'd stepped out of before he found himself face to face with a grinning police officer. That was never a good sign.
The officer pulled out his walkie talkie. "I have a possible 3110 on the corner of Main Street and 69th. Suspect is armed and belligerent."
Marcus didn't have enough time to protest before the officer's grin widened and with a fake tremor in his voice said: "Suspect is resisting arrest. Requesting backup."
The police baton caught Marcus on the side of his head at the same moment realization set in. Stunned, he was unable to act when antimagic handcuffs were slapped on his wrists. As he struggled, the arresting officer reached into his coat and dropped a large bag of Pixie Dust (a potent hallucinogen with random magical side effects, very illegal) and a handgun on Marcus.
"Alright then. You're under arrest for possession of an illegal weapon, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, resisting arrest, assault of an arresting officer," the officer notices that some of Marcus's blood has fallen on his boots. "and destruction of police property. Now don't you worry about your rights, you don't get any."
Marcus passes out as he's loaded into the back of the police van and wakes up in a jail cell with four other people.

Tempest nursed her swollen knee as she sat in the jail cell. It was the usual con, sell 'drugs' that weren't to somebody she wouldn't meet again and then count on them not being able to protest to the cops. Except in this case her latest buyer had been a cop. A cop who could afford anti-illusion magic and one all too willing to add another arrested drug dealer to his record. Along with several other phony charges (including prostitution, which the officers had made many cruel jokes about), she was unlikely to get out of prison any time this decade if convicted on even one of them.

Joy wasn't sure how she'd ended up in yet another jail cell. Her memory had a huge hole in it. The last thing she remembered was visiting her sister's grave and then she'd woken up here. Apparently the cops didn't know what she'd done to deserve to be there either. That didn't mean they knew she wasn't guilty, it just meant they were being paid to get her locked up for a very, very long time. Going by the name of murder victims they'd read off when they'd been trying to get her to sign a confession (and the fact that she didn't know who any of them where (which made sense, the cops had just pinned every unsolved murder that month on her (and considering their dedication to their jobs vs enjoying their jobs they didn't solve many murders so much as frame someone enough to 'solve them'))), someone had paid very well.

Andrija sat in the cell, still in shock at what had happened. While she'd known the possibility of being caught was there, it was still a shock when the police had burst into her operation. It was an even bigger shock when she learned that they weren't charging her with that. It turned out her drug-operation was profitable enough that the local law enforcement had decided they wanted to be running it instead. She was instead being charged with several dozen minor crimes which amounted to literally nothing.
Unbreakable Patches
It took 6 policemen, 4 tasers, 2 police batons, and a slippery patch on the sidewalk but Arvid ended up knocked out and dragged into the cell with the other four. He slept like a polar bear.
Andrija heard the sound of a phone ringing with a custom ringtone. When she picked it up it switched to speaker phone, none of the cops within earshot.
As the spiel ran down, the voice dropped.
"So for you, a group consisting of a brute, a shapechanger, a dealer, a liar, and a real fucking tragedy: I'm giving you the chance to make a difference. To be something big. If you're not doing it for yourself, then do it for Spite. Because let's face it, this city deserves a better class of criminal.
If you don't want in, just sit there and try enjoy what comes next. But if you're in, I'd suggest dialing a number you wouldn't normally associate with emergency services on this phone: 911. Succeed at that and you'll have more than earned your colors. Just escape, I'll take care of the rest. But feel free to raise some Hell on your way out, I hate cops."

Fantasy - A City Called Spite Lore
"For all of Human history the magic's always been there, but in the last few decades the masquerade's been broken and it's hit the streets. Before the number of practitioners was always limited and it took years of practice to master even the simplest spells. Then the Hellmouth opened in 1985...
