Dumb criminal stories

[Barrister]

I just reviewed a file.  Woman is stopped by police on suspicion of an impaired driver.  One of the passengers knows she has an outstanding warrant for her arrest, so she lies to police and gives her sister's name.

Little does she know that he sister ALSO has a warrant for her arrest, so they start to arrest her anyways.




I'll try and remember to add to this thread on occasion...

We have had similar idiotic things happen where I work.

A parolee managed to sneak substitute urine past an Officer during a drug test but admitted that it wasn't his urine when it tested positive for heroin (parolee was positive for marijuana).

Clearly that poor woman is a victim of over bearing authority figures!!!

I saw a file the other day with a guy being charged for stealing a vehicle from a dealership.

He apparently forgot that he had left his driver's license behind at said dealership though.

How is that dumb?  She would be dumb if she knew that her sister also had a warrant.  It sounds like she was simply not sufficiently informed.

"Hold up.  You said positive for what now?!"

Steuff like that happens all the time.  people signing out employee forms or prize tickets with accurate info while waiting for places to clear out of customers  before robbing it are my favourite though.

I'd think that "dumb criminals" is the generality. It is smart criminals who are exceptional.

But smart criminals wear suits and call themselves lawyers

This is of course true.

But some crimes are just as anxtra special kind of stupid.

I liked the one where the guy robbed a bank, while wearing his High School jacket with his name on it.   

Or the people who call the cops because someone cheated them on a drug transaction. Classic!

Exactly - smart criminals are those who, like CEOs, bankers, accountants, lawyers, investment consultants and the like, have figured out how to get people to give them lots of money.

Wasn't there a tv show TLC about dumb crimanal activities caught on tv?

Also, does anyone recall when TLC turned from The Learning Channel into the Midget, Babies, and Police footage channel?
