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.

Here's to those who took the idea of public service and kicked it up a notch. Here's a batch of cops protecting and serving in their communities. Kinda weird seeing them be cool and not asking you how fast you were going. For funny stories, here are some of the dumbest things people said to cops.
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.
Police sometimes get overzealous with boasting about underwhelming drug busts, and the savage people of facebook are hardly ever kind to them. People are fond of roasting terribly ancient guns too. This time people had some hard hitting jokes, as well as pretty decent points about the ridiculous nature of this particular bust.
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.

You've got to love how he just casually stops at the red light after making an emergency landing on a busy road in Washington State, in an airplane! Glad everyone seems to be okay in this.
Just because you see something you don't like doesn't mean it's an emergency. 911 dispatchers get dumb calls all the time. Luckily they're there to sift through the people having a meltdown in traffic and grandmas who think the kids on their lawn are terrorists so cops can respond to actual crimes.

This kid pulled off one of the oldest tricks in the book. I thought this stuff only happened in the movies. Those cops never had a chance. But like actually. In all fairness the kid looks like he had such a substantial head start that hiding out in the trash can was probably unnecessary.
We even get to see Undercover Karen in action! This is ridiculous. That Uber driver dipped out with impressive response time.

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.

This is disgusting. Apparently prosecutors dropped 120 cases from Wester's charges. Unreal. So many families' lives were impacted, if not ruined by this man's evil BS.

As you can see what once was a nice and peaceful event in Atlanta, Georgia spiraled out of control into utter madness. These devious kids are lucky that those cops didn't get too startled. A bit of a dangerous stunt to charge toward a cop car, wielding a water gun; or even dump a gallon of water into the actual car!

A San Luis Obispo police chief left her gun in a public restroom, and surveillance footage has surfaced since the moment of forgetfulness, showing a stranger walking out with the gun. Not something you want to leave lying around. Hopefully the dude gets picked up quick.
These stories about the messed up things ex cons dealt with/deal with when they get out are a solid guide on why you do NOT want to commit a crime. It's a whole different world in there, and when you get out, you're posed to never view the one you left behind in the same light.
