Description
Imagine being pulled over for speeding and then having to lend the policeman a pen so he could write out your ticket. This happened when a motorcycle policeman left his pens at the office. And there was the time a policeman pulled over a young buck and while inspecting his car manages to run him over – with his own car! And there was the off-duty policeman who goes to the aid of a woman in distress – only to discover she was in the throws of passion not terror! And there was the policeman who locked himself out of his own police station.
More …Cops, Crooks & Catastrophes takes the reader into the world of crooks who just shouldn’t have taken up a life of crime and exposes the frailties the police would rather you didn’t see. More than sixty stories reveal those embarrassing moments from both sides of the law.
