Lol, would have loved it if he'd flat out denied he was driving

"Are you driving right now"

"Nope"

"But I can see the cars going passed your window"

"That's just my TV"

Many years ago I had dealings with a driver who appeared and was disqualified at a court hearing.

He stole a car from outside the court to get home (yes, I know!). We caught him on the motorway and got him back to court before the session ended, he didn't pass go on that occasion

At least he's got enough time to pop to the shop for soap on a rope.

Not Weston Super Mud by any chance? My mum had someone up in front of her about 15 years ago who got disqualified, then did exactly that... They were already well known to the court. Unsurprisingly!

I think it's the judge's incredulity which gives the whole clip quality.

"So maybe I don't understand something?"

It's terribly sad, but some of them want to go to prison.

The lawyer "I would like to call for an adjournment" - while I try to think of anyway to explain what has just happened that doesn't involve me lying but ensures I still get paid

Around here police confiscated an electric motorbike from a lad riding it illegally on the road, his dad was so upset he went out in his car to flag down the police. They then continued to also take his car that was driven without insurance.

Around here police confiscated an electric motorbike from a lad riding it illegally on the road, his dad was so upset he went out in his car to flag down the police. They then continued to also take his car that was driven without insurance.

A few years ago there was a disturbance early one morning at the front of the house. Police had 3 or 4 teenaged boys up against the wall, handcuffed. They'd broken into the pub down the road, set the alarms off, ran up the road towards my house and got stuck in the back gardens, where my next door neighbour saw them and called the police, who turned up a minute later.

That night I was in the back yard with my telescope, when I heard a car drive up the lane, someone get out and try to get into my dilapidated garage. I peered through the gaps in the garage door and started shouting that I was ringing the police and also had a cricket bat. Something of a lie, it was a hockey stick! The young bloke in the lane said he needed to get into my garden because he'd dropped his phone that morning. My reply was fairly short. The police arrived and took over.

It turned out that one of the teens from the pub burglary that morning had been released from custody, picked up by his father, who immediately drove him back to the scene to locate the drugs they'd stashed in my neighbour's garden that morning. The drugs were found a day or two later by the neighbour. Too stupid for words!

I know someone who went to the local police station to find out what was happening in a case where he was the victim, to promptly get arrested for drunk driving.

Surely that's going to be used in so many memes shortly....

Oh. I wonder if they've let him out of jail yet?

That's quite sad really. Jailed and ridiculed worldwide, because of a clerical error?

Good to see only the non news news outlets have picked that up.
