Cops have some interesting stories, like times they've enforced stupid laws just because someone was being a real A-hole. Day-to-day, the cops walk in on some pretty wild situations, and since naturally no one wants to be arrested, they hear some pretty dumb excuses. Here are some surprising times a weird excuse actually turned out to be the real deal; from police themselves and people who were stopped.

Calling the cops on your own blood, hot damn! On the one hand, she was completely abused the offer to use his car, and used it longer than he offered. But also, did she know she'd get arrested if she didn't give it back? Seems kind of like a waste of police resources. Isn't there a way to solve issues among your own family without getting the police involved? This guy asked the internet if he was a jerk for disowned his sister for marrying his childhood bully.

This clip from Live PD features a cop questioning a dude who was clearly hot boxing his car. The cop goes on to say he'd make a good meme and that if he had a camera he'd be on the front page of reddit. Lo and behold, they're literally being filmed, and within hours of this video being uploaded to Youtube, it found its way to the front page of r/videos. Sometimes things just work out like that.

Apparently this arrest occurred at a Vermillion Parish School board meeting after a teacher asked the school's superintendent why she got a raise, while the rest of the teachers never got raises.

The world's been unpleasantly marred by plenty of DUI stop circus acts that hint at all signs of sweet genuine stupidity; but this one ranks right up there with the best (worst) of 'em. Not only did she endanger the lives of others by getting her drunken, albeit bodacious bosom behind the wheel; but she put on a cartwheel show, AND assaulted our poor cop of the hour's valiant manhood.

Step aside, Nobel Prize winners, because these dudes are right on your tails.
Presumably after discussing nuclear physics, two Kentucky men allegedly moved their conversation to more pressing matters: Robbing a BBQ restaurant where the local police chief just happened to be eating at. How did the chief find out? Well, these two guys, who just have to be direct descendants of Einstein or something, pocket dialed 911 while they were discussing the plans.
A local NBC affiliate picked up the story, reporting:
“According to the Danville Advocate Messenger, police say two suspects were sitting inside their car outside of Brothers' BBQ, discussing their plans to rob the restaurant. Unfortunately for them, one of the men had accidentally pocket dialed police dispatch.”
“There was some conversation about when they should do it, they might be recognized if they do it in Danville, and I think they did talk about some different locations …” Police Chief Tony Gray said. “Somewhere in the conversation, my name was brought up.”
Dispatch triangulated the location “from key words, including the mention of Chief Gray's name.”
If these guys don’t get direct entry into MENSA…
Chief Gray and other officers apprehended the men in the parking lot, discovering a mask on one of them. It takes a certain level of intelligence to be a successful criminal, and at the top of it, make sure you’re calling 911 while you’re laying out the details.

James Meyers of Concord, NC was pulled over because his break light was out. This turned into the police serving him an arrest warrant for a movie he rented and failed to return to a store that has since been closed 14 years ago.
Meyers tells the whole story in this video :
The movie in question? 'Freddy Got Fingered', a 2001 box office failure starring Tom Green. 
Hopefully, he at least enjoyed the movie. Not many people did.
Tom Green has found out about this and has told the Daily News that he'd happily pay the $200 fine attached to the warrent if it would help.

This story is egggggcellent.
According to Page Six, reality-TV sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner had eggs thrown at them by a disgruntled woman while promoting their new clothing line at a mall in Sydney, Australia.
The woman started throwing eggs at the pair from the top level of a mall, but neither were hit.
"Following an incident at a shopping center in Parramatta around 4:30 yesterday afternoon, a 25-year-old woman from Punchbowl was arrested and taken to the Parramatta police station," a spokesperson from the New South Wales police confirmed to E! News. "She was charged with three counts of assaulting a police officer. The police officers were trying to arrest her and she resisted. The woman was also charged with behaving in an offensive manner."
These sisters were promoting their Kendall + Kylie Collection at Forever New. There is no footage of the incident, but it probably looked something like this...
