Australian Man Fights Law, Law Wins
January 30th, 2009 by Perry
During a graduation ceremony filled with Adelaide’s highest ranking police officers, a man from down under deployed an ill-conceived plan to anger law enforcement.
The Australian reports that police saw the man doing burnouts around 10:30 a.m., at which point he was pulled over and cautioned. When the same guy was seen peeling out during the ceremony a short time thereafter, officers intervened and arrested him.
Apparently in Australia, committing a crime also gives authorities permission to visit the perpetrator’s residence, because that’s what they did, and due to the resulting search, added cultivation of three marijuana plants to his charges.
It’s always a good idea to be familiar with local arrest laws if you plan on doing something incredibly stupid. This plan was doomed from the start.
