Brit Professor arrested for Jaywalking

[dirtylimey]

BBC Article

To me, Jaywalking is a ridiculous law to enforce. So I thought this article was pretty funny about a professor that just got arrested for doing so, like he was some kind of bad ass criminal 😀

"The bespectacled professor says he didn't realise the "rather intrusive young man" shouting that he shouldn't cross there was a policeman. "I thanked him for his advice and went on."

The officer asked for identification. The professor asked for his, after which Officer Leonpacher told him he was under arrest and, the professor claims, kicked his legs from under him, pinned him to the ground and confiscated his box of peppermints.

Big -1 to Atlanta for this. The cop was even off-duty, how friggin ridiculous.

Here is another version. Sometimes, it just pays to listen to the police!

lol...poor guy...

I found this quote to be funny:

"He told the Times that his colleagues now regard him as "as a combination of Rambo, because it took five cops to pin me to the ground, and Perry Mason, because my eloquence before a judge obtained my immediate release".

and this one:

"'filthy, foetid paddy wagon' as the professor described it"

funny brits...

"I thanked him for his advice and went on."
