comical escape

Life imitates a scene in at least 20 comedy films
Two men, ages 20 and 21 and in custody on different charges in Hastings District Court in New Zealand, had been handcuffed to each other as routine security, but they escaped, dashing out the door and into the street, where they almost immediately encountered a light pole and chose different sides to run past it on.

This happened Down Under. Nothing like this could happen in the good old USofA.

Reminds of a clip I saw last night of dumb criminals. Same set up, only this time it involved three rocket scientists handcuffed together.

I'm blocked from the video... I'll HAVE to check this one out at home.

Finally, surveillance videos serve a useful purpose!

Expat, nothing like this could happen in the USA, huh?
