Prior brushes with the law, disqualification ?

OTREDDY — Tue, 13 May 2008 01:06:31 GMT

In 1996 I went to local emission inspection station in order to get my inspection sticker updated. The thing was I didn't have a catalytic converter on my exhaust. I figured I'd give the inspector a few extra dollars so as to let me slide. It had worked in the past for a guy I knew, so I said what the hell. Well, I wasn't so lucky. Upon my paying the guy and giving him the extra $$$ he locked my wheels, went into the main office, and lock the door behind him and call the local PD. I was arrested- did a night in jail and later had to go to court for emission inspections fraud. I was given 6 mos prob, and something like 50 hours community service. Although, this was a 3rd Degree felony, I was not convicted, and adjudication was withheld. Note: This was 12 years ago and I was not convicted. My question is, will this carry serious weight in my hiring process?

Coolest kid ever

NickyWinters — Tue, 13 May 2008 00:44:38 GMT

A 13 year old boy from Texas is convicted of fraud after using his Father's credit cards to hire escorts.

A 13 year old from Texas who stole his Dad's credit card and ordered two hookers from an escort agency, has today been convicted of fraud and given a three year community order.

Ralph Hardy, a 13 year old from Newark, Texas confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his father's existing credit card company, and took his friends on a $30,000 spending spree, culminating in playing "Halo" on an Xbox with a couple of hookers in a Texas motel.

The credit card company involved said it was regular practice to send extra credit cards out as long as all security questions are answered.

The escort girls who were released without charge, told the arresting officers something was up when the kids said they would rather play Xbox than get down to business.

Police said they were alerted to the motel by a concerned delivery clerk, whom after delivering supplies of Dr Pepper, Fritos and Oreos had been asked by the kids where they could score some chicks and were willing to pay. They explained they had just made a big score at a "World of Warcraft" tournament and wanted to get some relaxation. On noting the boys age the delivery clerk informed the authorities.

When police arrived at the motel they found $3,000 in cash, numerous electronic gadgets, an Xbox video console with numerous games, and the two local escort girls.

Ralph had reportedly told police that his father wouldn't mind, as it was his birthday last week and he had forgot to get him a present. The father, a lawyer said he had been too busy, but would take him on a surprise trip to Disneyland instead

A stop I made on Saturday

nj123 — Mon, 12 May 2008 17:11:08 GMT

I was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible violations of the driving-under-the-influence laws.

At closing time, I saw a guy stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb and try his keys on five different cars before he found his. Then he sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minutes. Everyone else left the bar and drove off.

Finally he started his engine and began to pull away. I was waiting for him. I stopped the driver, read him his rights and administered the Breathalyzer test.

The results showed a reading of 0.0. I demanded to know how that could be.

The driver replied, "Tonight I'm the designated decoy"
