What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness?
Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

keystone cops
While the purveyors of this weblog would never condone anyone doing anything that might arouse the ire of the police, it would be foolish to deny that our fine law endorcement officers sometimes make mistakes and accuse us of various transgressions. Like that one time those cops "caught" me and Richard Dubose sneaking out after midnight. Or that other time they "busted" me at the Mexican border. Or the time they "found" me spraypainting my name in the ditch. Or the time they received a "complaint" about Daniel's loud-ass parties and "fined" him. Because the police frequently make honest mistakes such as these, it is useful to know how to handle situations in which we are the victims of police error. However, do not follow this guy's instructions, as he doesn't know what he's talking about. You'll be better off doing what these people say. And don't do any of these things.
