Any great acronym or idioms out there for NO DAT 208-27?

1. Prior condition (meaning nothing they did. they don't qualify for a DAT bec of something they did in the past)

acronym: U ROW

Unlicensed (agg. unlic.--511)

Recidivist

Warrant

2. Frat guy type offenses

acronym: DUMP

DWI

Under influence of...

Marijuana

Pyrotechnics (fireworks)

3. Occupy type crimes

acronym: ORCAS

OGA

Resisting

Civil disobedience (chaining yourself up..)

Auto vandalism

Sporting event interference

4. Housing

Acronym: UT

Unlawful eviction

Trespass

5. Dangerous types: FOCS

Family

OOP

Child abuse/neglect

Sex misconduct

6. And of course: the threatening/HARM etc of city/state on official duty, elected official etc
