Someone on AskReddit asked for police officers to share the laws they feel uncomfortable about enforcing, because they don't necessarily agree with them. We've got responses like, how they don't particularly want to bust people out having a good time on the river, as long as they're not being total inconsiderate animals. As well as, angelic cops who literally carry nickels on them to feed the meters to avoid writing tickets. Wherever that is happening sounds like a hell of a place.

When you're young enough your parents are just your parents, and it seems like they can do no wrong. And since you don't know anything, you're gonna miss obvious signs that your folks are up to some unsavory business. It's not until you get older and look at them as people that you have a chance to realize they may not have been on the right side of the law. Here are some free legal tips from a funny lawyer that shouldn't need saying.
This maniacal and all around shitty boss tried to withhold an employee's last paycheck after a botched procedure. So, they proceeded to stand up for themselves, took the terrible boss to court, and ended up winning $5,000 for what could have been a mere $275 offense.
This son's TIFU is one for the books. He managed to convince his dad to give AirBnB a shot, instead of just taking the normal hotel route, while on their journey to check out purchasing a new truck. Unfortunately, the worst-case scenario pretty much presented itself when they showed up the neighboring house was in the middle of a massive narcotics bust. Yikes.

The cool and collected nature of this patron just trying to enjoy his cocktail with a fresh lit cigarette, while being held up at gunpoint is heroic. You don't see something like this everyday. At least it's usually in the movies.

This guy had robbed 7 stores before this, and decided to test his luck again with an 8th miserably failed robbery attempt. Queue up the cops, justice, high fives, and laughs. Not this time, buddy!
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.
This neighbor boldly took things into his own hands when he found himself dealing with a crowd of unruly neighbors that refused to acknowledge his requests for them to respect his private property. He maintained a cool and calculated demeanor and wasn't phased by a cop who was in on the whole thing too!
It's good to remember that most people in this world are thoughtful and kind. That said, there is a select few who, at the right times, will make some of the most selfish and antisocial decisions a person could make. The world has its moments of extreme trashy behavior. People will steal dogs, leave dirty diapers on restaurant tables, key strangers' cars, and a whole lot more. Most people know not to do this kind of stuff.
It's a good reminder that most people are decent most of the time. Most people are kind, friendly, and would go out of their way to help a stranger. Then there's these moments. The trashy moments. The times when people decided to act out of selfishness, greed and complete disregard for the people around them. Wild.
It's good when liars get called out for their BS, but things can spiral out of control when no one checks the facts. In this case, this woman's posts were stole from her social media and put in a completely different and sinister context. No doubt, it would be a complete nightmare to be framed for animal abuse and have everyone just go with it without investigating if you're actually a criminal.
Reporter Marshall Allen shared a recent viral Twitter thread about a story he covered that makes for one true emotional rollercoaster. This story involves a shady personal trainer/terrible dad who spent years posing as a doctor and billing the nation's top insurers, while scamming millions in the process. It's being referenced as a case study in how health insurers make it easy to scam millions off of people. All around a deeply unsettling story.
Police in Galveston, Texas issued an apology after their officers on horseback were seen leading a black man by rope through the streets on Saturday. The 43-year-old man Donald Neely was arrested for criminal trespassing after having been warned by the cops a few times.
Police claim that the two patrolmen didn't have any "malicious intent", and hadn't tied his hands with rope, but the picture circulating on news outlets suggests otherwise, and actually, it really just confirms that this was an unbelievable kind of cruel.
The attorney for Mr. Neely's family says that the man is homeless and bipolar. His family hadn't seen him for several years until the photo went viral online.
