My tongue in cheek blaming of the best friend I've made on SI for the politcal nonsense here is kind of funny IMO and a company that's changed it's ticker 4X times since I argued with Jake Straw on it's message board 12 years ago is also pretty funny except to the people who lost money on it.

Cops trap man in lie when he identifies himself as felon
news.yahoo.com

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. - A male who lied to Sheboygan police to hide his unpaid traffic citations almost got himself into far more serious trouble. Police said they stopped a vehicle Saturday for improper registration. One passenger identified himself to police, who ran a check on that name.


It turned out to be the name of someone who has an active felony warrant for vehicular homicide.

When the passenger found out, he quickly gave police his real name. He said he lied earlier because he has outstanding traffic fines in another state and wasn't sure whether there was a warrant out for him.

The male was arrested on an obstruction charge.

Before he was released, police verified through photos and fingerprints that he wasn't the vehicular-homicide suspect.
