  • Robbery Suspected in 2 Deaths Jalopnik: Police
    mayorsam1.jpgWhile Murilee has her starbucksgiftcard.jpgBecause real police work takes a lot of effort, cops in Rancho Cordova, California are pulling over people for good driving and giving them $5 Starbucks gift cards donated by local businesses. The idea came from a traffic cop who wanted to "promote the holiday spirit and enhance goodwill between the traffic unit and the motoring public." What if you don't like Starbucks coffee? Prepared to get tased, bro. It's a White Mocha Frap or a few thousand volts. African American community leaders applaud the effort as they'll be happy to see white people get pulled over despite doing nothing wrong for a change.

    They apparently received a lot of money for the project and thus "they'll be pulling over a lot of people" according to Sgt. Tim Curran of the Rancho Cordova PD. So let this be a message to criminals out there: start robbing homes in Rancho Cordova this Chirstmas. The cops are too busy handing out gift cards. Go nuts. [carstowtruck.jpgUpset over getting ticketed, a tow truck driver in Gresham, Oregon decided to take his revenge out on the first police cruiser he could find. Turns out there was an unmarked police car responding to a domestic disturbance call that was a fairly easy target. The angry driver was able to get the interceptor hooked up to his rig when a police officer noticed what was going on. After a few tense moments, the driver released the officer's car, but then he locked himself in the cab of his truck.

    It wasn't until the manager of the tow company arrived that the man finally surrendered. The driver was charged with unlawful use of a vehicle, obstructing governmental administration, interfering with a peace officer and criminal mischief. Hope it was worth it guy. [kk-cop.jpgSometimes, the jokes are just too easy. Yesterday, police officers in Madison Wisconsin were involved in a high speed chase with one Warren G. Whitelightning, drunk in a stolen Krispy Kreme truck (see, there are like nine jokes right there). Mr. Whitelightning (hehehehe) had previously had his license revoked after a fourth DUI and, in a larger offense, was spewing doughnuts all over the road during the chase. ON TOP of all of that, Warren G. initially stole the truck in a daring escape from the scene of a previous crime, where he pocketed eight red-hot pickled sausages from a convenience store. He's facing up to nine and a half years in the slammer, but authorities should let him out now to provide us with more awesome stories to read about.[The Capital Times]

  • Aussie Hoon Cop Identified, Suspended [News]


    The Aussie policehoon we told you about yesterday has been identified as a 30-year-old first class constable of the West Australian police. The officer had a reasonable excuse, as the organizer of a local carshow asked the trained pursuit driver to show off his moves. Nevertheless, the local authorities are trying to send a message and have suspended the cop over the impromptu demonstration.

    An interesting twist, his wife and partner was in the passenger side of the car but has not been suspended. All of this happened more than a year ago, but it's politically convenient to make an issue out of this now. [The Age]

  • Hoon of the Day: Aussie Cop Car Hooned [Hoon Of The Day]

    It's a mystery to the Australian police how this Falcon Commodore radio car ended up doing dirt-slinging donuts for a crowd of onlookers. But it's no mystery to us. Though the cops can't be sure it's a police officer behind the wheel of the cruiser, we imagine it's a highway patrolman that's tired of the hoons having all the fun.

    While the cops are promising to "get to the bottom of the incident," we'll continue to enjoy watching the added joy that sirens and lights bring to hoonage. No word yet on if they'll crush the cruiser when they find it. [News.com.au]

  • Deer Jumps Over Speeding Police Car [Offbeat News]


    Though the car usually wins in a battle of car-versus-deer, it's almost always a phyrric victory as the damage to the vehicle can be immense. That's why a Jackson County, Missouri sheriff's deputy is grateful this large, white-tailed deer was able to completely clear the hood of his speeding patrol car. Whether the deer was put up to this as a dare or this was just random is not known at this time. [WKMG]
