Clever, but not quite - How to avoid a speeding ticket.
Funny, Traffic| January 7th, 2008Some people will go to any length to avoid a speeding ticket.
Speeder hides by burrowing into ground
Instead of trying to talk his way out or even bribe (which we here at retarded sushi do not endorse or encourage) this guy dives out of car and burrows into the ground to hide. First question that comes to mind is how did the state trooper not notice the guy burrowing into the ground? Is he some type of mole man with mad burrowing skills? Then if the trooper did notice the burrow why did he not just dig the guy up?
I try to avoid speeding tickets as much as possible, but I do not think I could burrow into the ground fast enough to escape notice. And I would think that the recently dug hole next to the car would be a dead giveaway. But the more astonishing fact is that he had enough room to get out his cell phone and send a text message to his girlfriend to come pick him up. Apparently the troopers had nothing better to do then to sit there and wait, because they arrested him an hr later when he left his hole. Not just one officer, but several officers where there. It may just be my cheap side talking, but would not the state troopers’ time and effort be better spent catching other traffic law violaters? The article does not mention how high over the limit the man was driving, but lets assume the fine would have been arround $150. Even at that level does it warrant even one officer waiting arround for him to emerge? And why not just get a K9 unit out there, you have the mans car so you have his scent. This could have been solved in 10 minutes and saved money.
Sure the guy had outstanding arrest warrants, but for non-violent offences (the harrassment may have been violent but I have not seen the arrest warrant for it so I will assume it is verbal). That is why I suggested getting the K9 unit out there.
