Idiot of the Month: Fake 911 Call to Get Out of a Ticket

In Florida, a man was pulled over for speeding.  While the officer ran his information, the guy called 9-1-1 to report a shooting nearby to get out of the ticket because he was driving on a suspended license.  The officer let the guy go so the officer could go to the scene.  Once he found out there was no shooting he decided to call the phone number that reported the shooting.  He got the speeder's voicemail and eventually arrested him for making a fake 911 call.

Let's see...speeding ticket would have been $200-$300 and then driving on a suspended license would have been another fine and possibly a towed car but now he has an even bigger fine, had to go to jail, and now has to go to court.  Was it really worth it?  A few hundred bucks or jail time?  C'mon man!  Suck it up and take the ticket like the rest of us.

It amazes me to hear what people do to get out of tickets.  It's always nice when you do get out of it but when you don't, oh well.  And calling 911?  Do people not realize the phone number you are calling from shows up for the dispatcher?  He definitely didn't think that one through.  Haha.

Gotta love idiots, they give us a good laugh.
