Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the worst defenses they'd seen made in court. The resulting insights offer rare glimpses at some criminally dumb criminals. These people were nowhere near ready for court, and their "defenses" speak volumes to that.

It sounds like these neighbors were just hoping for the day they'd get their fence burned down by some careless fool. They went ahead and tried to collect big time from this guy, and ultimately fund a trip to Hawaii. However, the judge's moral compass was intact, and they ended up walking out over $9K in debt.
And the wife didn't know anything about this? Okay.
Oh Karen, just cause you don't have insurance doesn't mean you can rely on perfect strangers to pay for your car's damages. To make matters even better with this fine tale of Karen entitlement, it sounds like she found the original post that called her out, and wanted to sue the person over it. As it turns out, Karen doesn't have a whole lot of ground to stand on.
These free legal tips shouldn't come as a surprise. Honestly, if these bits of advice are anything but funny to you, there's a decent chance you're gonna find yourself in jail for a dumb reason. Sure there are dumb laws that get enforced from time to time, but lawyers see tons of crazy and dumb stuff that no right-minded person should ever find themselves experiencing.

Apparently the police are on the search for this driver trying to make a runaway in a formula one racing car. Good luck.
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.

"He's got a nose and some hair." The people in Pennsylvania were surely on the intense lookout for this intimidating beast of a suspected thief.
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.
Someone on AskReddit asked for cops to share the stupidest laws they've ever enforced as result of someone just being a stupid asshole. The resulting stories are filled to the brim with people being rude morons. These are the same kinds of people that try to lie and spew BS all over social media, before getting called out by people ready to defend the truth.
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!
This off duty cop intervened like a true hero when he overheard a full-fledged douche mistreating his date. At one point it sounds like he heard him threaten the poor, terrified lady by telling her he knew where she lived cause he picked her up. The cop proceeded to handle the situation like a professional, and get the guy's information. After the date from hell dipped, the cop invited the shaken woman to sit down and finish her meal with his family.
