Law Enforces, have you ever come across a crime so stupid or ridiculous that you just let it slip?

Not the US, to clarify for everyone asking. This was in South Africa in the early 90s. When I was

in high school, the rugby team found out I had learned how to drive but not yet received my license.

They all knew I did not drink, so one of them had the genius idea of inviting me to parties

as the designated driver. We'd lost

a popular kid to a drunken accident a few months earlier, so it was actually a good idea.

It was a great arrangement, lots of parties, lots of girls, and all I had to do was get

them home in one piece afterwards. It went great for a few weeks, until one night. The police

had heard there was a big party on a farm outside of town and decided to set up a

roadblock. So I come driving up to flashing lights, car filled with five big drunk guys, including

one passed out with his head out of the window, and little scrawny me barely able to look over

the steering wheel and the inside of the car smells like a brewery. The officer takes one look at

the car and asks me to step out. Have you been drinking?

Uh, no, officer. I don't drink. Has me take a breath, Eliza. Zero. Looks at me. Can I see your

driver's license? Uh, sorry, officer, I don't have one yet. I'm getting it next week. And I

point back toward the car, but they have theirs. He looked at me, flipped his little book closed, and said,

Just take them home. Next time I see you, you'd better have your license. Under the circumstances,

this sounds like a pretty reasonable officer. Like better the guy who's going to get his license next week and sober be driving now than one of these guys be trying to. I overheard this one

last night as I was sitting near two Indiana cops at Pandy Express.

So this lady had a warrant for an unpaid ticket and missed court date. I bring her in and it turns out that her address is wrong and she never got the court summons.

The original ticket was for possession of a black bass under 14 inches, and since she admits the court summons, it was now on her record.

So if she goes to apply for a job and they inevitably ask her, do you have any criminal
