Swiss police order up Tesla Model X police cars for active duty

Tesla’s Model X has had some brushes with law enforcement – in a good way, as when police from Toronto demonstrated one in their patrol car colors to show what it might be like to actually use them. But police from Switzerland’s Basel-Stadt police force are going one further, and actually ordering Model X vehicles […]

What a time to be alive.

On Thursday Thames Valley Police tweeted a picture of a fake driver’s licence that was given to one of their officers by a motorist.

Earlier this week, @tvprp‘s PC Phillips stopped a car in Milton Keynes.

When she tried to identify the driver’s ID, she found the below…

The driver’s car was seized and he was reported for driving with no insurance and driving without a proper licence.

This is the documentary about Flint that you need to watch

TwitterFacebook

Two years ago, most of the country hadn’t heard of Flint, Mich.

I grew up about 30 minutes from the southeast Michigan town, and even then it was ubiquitous only for its proximity. Going to the movies? I-75 north toward Flint. The University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, Dearborn, or Flint? Over time, Flint fell into disrepair, synonymous with poverty, poor infrastructure, and insurmountable struggle, yet even this was eclipsed by the shadow of Detroit, an hour away and with its own promising future snuffed out as the 20th century closed.

In the 1980s, Flint boasted one of the highest average household incomes in the nation. Today it’s one of the lowest. But the city’s journey is still unfolding; it caught the attention of filmmakers Zackary Canepari and Drea Cooper, who passed through while making the documentary T-REX, who returned along with co-director Jessica Dimmock to explore the city further.

Somehow a thief was caught with the most amateur doodle

TwitterFacebook

Another day, another hilarious police sketch. 

This time, we’re treated to more of a doodle than a detailed illustration from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. While in search of a robber who made out with cash from Central Market by posing as an employee, a witness whipped up a sketch that somehow miraculously managed to trigger the memory of an investigator.

“While the sketch provided by the witness may have appeared amateurish and cartoonish, it, along with the distinctive physical descriptors, jogged the memory of at least one investigator to provide a potential suspect name,” the Lancaster Bureau of Police reads. Read more…

Scottish police called out to deal with tiger on the loose, get big surprise

TwitterFacebook

A tiger loose in Scotland? It can’t be…

Actually that statement is one hundred percent correct. Police in Aberdeenshire received a call from a concerned citizen on Saturday who believed he had spotted a tiger loitering near his farm.

As it turns out the big cat in question was not an actual tiger, but a large stuffed toy.

The North East Police Division published a statement about the incident on their Facebook page.

It’s good to know the police are prepared in case a real tiger ever does go on the lam.
