Stupidity- There’s An App For That

Some idiot in Fort Wayne, Indiana couldn't wait to try to use his new police lights and sirens iphone app. He tried to pull over a car, and was laughing hysterically until one of the occupants of the car flashed him a FWPD badge. He is facing charges for impersonating an police officer. Its all fun and games till a real cop catches you!

The only thing worse than being a dumbass is being a dumbass with bad luck. What were the odds that in a city the size of Fort Wayne he'd get a car with 2 off duty police men in it??

Here's the app. I don't, quite, see where this would fool anyone (other than a fool) that it's a cop behind them.

Fort Wayne isn't New York or L.A. but neither is it a small town.

Please tell me that someone who has and uses theis app ALSO posted a Youtube video, please.

I calling the cops as the biggest fools. Pulling over for a flashing light on a little 4 inch screen sounds pretty foolish.

The plot thickens! We hang in suspense on the edges of our chairs.

The only thing on the edge of your chair Expat is some kolatsio and a stiff drink ... hehehe

Hold on while I wipe the Cheetos dust off my keyboard and refill my whiskey and coke.

Birds of a feather? :lol:

BD, you even sent my wife to the dictionary with that word "kolatsio" which is defined as: a foreign word describing a quick meal.

This, BTW, is the 2ed thing I've learned already today. The other thing was that "sonar uses sound to find things" which was told to me by a wise and all knowledgeable TV news reporter. 😕
