A 34-year-old was arrested last week because he was driving a car with over a ton of weed piled up in bundles in the back. In the city of Isla Cristina in southern Spain, police caught him driving the 4x4 at 2am in the morning with the headlights off, which naturally attracted attention. When they approached the 4x4, it was then they saw the dozens of packages piled up in the car. Overall there were 40 bundles weighing a total of 1220 kilos.

My ex - a Yale-educated lawyer - thought the most basic rule of getting away with breaking the law, was to only do one illegal thing at a time. Can't get a better confirmation of that than the idiot described above.
ReplyDeleteI doubt the average cop is much smarter than the average citizen, but I'm somewhat comforted by the high probability, that the average criminal is less smart than either.
