Brought That Mobile Phone You Found To The Police? You Better Believe That's An
Immediate Arrest With Fingerprinting And DNA Swab
Gives new meaning to "being in
right trouble"
Paul
Leicester, 18, an A-level college student, found a cell phone
and turned it over to the Merseyside Police in Southport,
UK. Oh, that's good!
No, that's bad because he was immediately arrested for "theft
by finding."
"The teenager
was kept by Merseyside Police in Southport police station
for four hours and had his fingerprints taken, along with a DNA swab
and a photo for police records." He was eventually released.
And what says Leicester about
the incident? "I
thought I was doing the right thing and had it thrown back in my face.
'I would not go to the police in future.'"
That's some mighty fine police
work there, Merseyside. Great job building community trust.
By the way, the police chief recently won a WOW!

another WOW! award for you, as in "Wow, what a git!"
