There are absolutely tons of good reasons to call 911, but there are way more totally stupid reasons to call them. A suspicious person lurking around? Sure. Someone's dog looked at you weird? Maybe not. Sometimes people panic when they're scared and frustrated, and 911 dispatch gets to hear a story about a tree someone dislikes. For some other crime-adjacent shenanigans, here are things people later discovered were illegal.

Police. Cops. Popo. 5-O. Whatever officer might be looking for, you'll find all that here and more. These coppers will charge you up like a battery, so get a shock to your system with witty police humor.

There's literally zero logic in anything that he's saying. Would expect nothing less from a scammer who calls a police captain and threatens them with an arrest.

Love that moment when he's pitching a ridiculous fit about keeping the helmet on until the officer just takes it off.
When this cop caught a reckless and cocky driver going 115 MPH, he decided to let the kid's mom handle the situation. Context is key here as well, as the actual road didn't have a speed limit. And just cause there's no speed limit doesn't mean people should be out there tearing down the road over 100 MPH.

This cop decided to address the various ways that people try to slyly get away with not wearing their seatbelts, when driving by a cop, by pulling off all kinds of weird body gestures. He presents the info in a fun way, and is ultimately just trying to make those roads a bit safer.

This video is making the rounds on Twitter. It captures a police officer in London telling a waitress at the Life Cafe Restaurant that there has been a terrorist incident. The waitress proceeds to launch a curveball that none of us saw coming, and asks if the customer can finish eating first. Either the waitress is genuinely fearless, or was caught up in a state of shock and fell back on some kind of automated response amidst the chaos of the terrifying situation.
A Colorado Sheriff's Department has rendered many brains scrambled after their strange description of a boulder. This is apparently no ordinary boulder. No, we're dealing with a boulder that escapes simple and definite descriptions. This boulder is actually a large boulder that is the size of a small boulder. Picture that real quick! Yeah, what's happening?

We can't advocate speeding or lying to the police, or even deploying fart spray in your own car, but that's just what this guy is claiming to have done. Seems like it's not quite worth the price of making your car smell like the furious ghosts of a thousand asses. For more stories about people who skirted rules, here are loopholes that clever folks exploited.

Apparently all this pancreatic cancer patient was packing was some CBD, which was totally legal in Missouri. I mean, this is just about as insensitive as it gets!
