So I'm out on patrol the other night and I just happen to see a car parked on the shoulder of our dual carriageway. In the dark. No lights on. At one of the fastest flowing sections of the road.
Stop to investigate as the vehicle looks empty. Shines my torch inside the car and there is a person asleep on the back seat. I tap on the window and his manner is quite aggressive so I call for back up and try and calm the situation down. My buddy looks at the road tax disc on his car (it's a UK thing, don't know if there's a similar system in the US?) and it's over a year out of date.
The computer check then reveals that the genius is a disqualified driver, with no insurance, the vehicle has no test certificate. The smell of alcohol is very strong and there are a few items in the trunk which appear suspiscous (car radios, electrical copper cable, a wrecking bar etc etc).
He gets handed over to the paddy-wagon and then we get told he's actually on the run from prison! :^
At this point one of the guys asks him why he parked on the shoulder (illegal in the UK) and he says he was tired. We ask him if he hadn't realised that it would draw attention to himself when we saw him and he replied.......

Ya just can't make this stuff up!
Sheer genius........................... :}
