Students would you friend your school police officer on Facebook? I know that I sure would not! Well, there are a bunch of schools that are doing it. Amazingly it is working out quite well for the majority of these schools. You can check out the video above to see more. However, students in high school still seem really skeptical. I doubt I would friend or like a police officer or their Facebook page. Just seems like asking for a bunch of trouble.
Drunk Drivers Piss off Police
Edmonton police are asking people not to tweet the locations of checkstops set up to catch impaired drivers.
“Putting lives in danger based on the fact that you want to have more followers on your Twitter account is pretty disappointing,” said checkstop co-ordinator Const. Ian Brooks.
In recent days, a number of users of the social media service have taken to tweeting the exact locations of checkstops throughout the city. The practice has prompted a heated online debate between those who think the information should be shared and those who deem it stupid and unethical.
Dear Police,
The rest of the world really does not care what you think about people tweeting the locations of where you are at. Maybe you should just have rolling cars and have speedtraps/drunk traps on the side of the road. No reason to get all upset about it. After all, I guess it must be because you are in Canada that you are so upset eh?
Freedom of Speech is a cornerstone of the United States…shouldn’t it extend to our Northern neighbors in Canada as well? I think so!
Montana Court Judge Charged With DUI
American citizens expect their elected officials to be held to the highest standard of the law. However, a judge in Montana who was chosen to represent justice in the great state decided to commit a DUI, when he was going to be assigned to a DUI court! The judge was under the influence of methadone, a material that can inhibit an individuals judgment while driving. Thankfully, the honorable judge was only going to be performing a wedding and not preside over something that could have effected someone for the rest of their life. I think judges need to get drug tested when they appear in court! Heck, I have to get drug tested to get a job these days!
Story
Teacher has Student Shower in Chocolate Syrup
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — A former Waterloo teacher accused of having a 17-year-old student shower in chocolate syrup and play strip video games is trying to have the case dismissed.
Some things are just too bizzare even for me! I think this one is over the top and this guy deserves to have some jail time. However, his attorney believes that the shrink thinks that he is not turned on by it. Why else would he have a student take a shower in chocolate syrup? I really don’t understand why he thinks this would be a good idea at all! You just have to see this smug guys face to know how sick and twisted he is!
Letter Found….66 Years Later!
Last week, the U.S. Postal Service delivered a hand-written letter to its address in central California. The letter was postmarked in Montgomery, Ala.
The date on the postmark is Aug. 9, 1944. Yes, 1944.
It’s good for a laugh — the term “snail mail” takes on a whole new meaning — but the hope is there’s a touching side to this story, and that its intended recipient, or her relatives, may still be found.
We all know that the USPS is known for being slow but 66 years slow is quite amazing! I wonder if any of my missing packages from eBay will show up 66 years from now and be reunited with me. Hopefully by that time the USPS will end up closing and private companies will take over the mailing service in the United States. Who knows, people may just have 3D printers in their home that can print anything they have sent to them! Now wouldn’t that be super cool?
TERROR ALERT: Vacuum Broken!
Yes, as silly as this may seem there was a terror alert set off over a broken vacuum cleaner. A shipping company flagged a shipment because the name of the recipient was on a terror watch list. The recipient simply needed to provide a copy of his personal identification to resolve the situation. However, the recipient was a doctor who was receiving a vacuum cleaner part. After being extremely aggravated at the stupidity of the vacuum company, the doctor demanded his money back.
This is just one example of people taking things too far! You need to be realistic and know that a vacuum cleaner part is not going to cause a threat to anyone. It is just aggravating to have to see innocent people aggravated by the stupidity of government. However, this problem took place in Europe so it is to be expected!
Smokey Plane Helps Passengers Avoid Detroit
A Delta airlines plane from Greenville, SC had taken off enroute to Detroit. The cabin began to fill with smoke and as a precaution, the plane returned to Greenville. A runway was briefly closed so officials could investigate and passengers were returned to the terminal by airport buses.
It is always a good day when you don’t have to go to Detroit. After all, Detroit doesn’t have much going for it besides the professional sports teams, gambling and the airport. Seriously, South Carolina is usually warm, seems to have nice southern hospitality and heck, Boeing even built a plant to manufacture aircraft(and maybe fix this one…?) in Charleston!
160K of Pot Makes You SOOOOOOOOO High!
A driver in Alabama was caught with 36 pounds of marijuana during a traffic arrest. Police stopped the driver for driving 76 in a 65. The driver is being held for $25,000 bail and is charged with possession with intent to distribute among other charges.
You have to be pretty stupid to be driving down the street with pot in your vehicle. However, if you are going to be that stupid, couldn’t you simply ensure that you drive the speed limit? After all, most cops don’t pull people over unless they are speeding or swerving. Just make sure you follow the traffic law the next time you want to get drive your drugs down the highway!
