I Fought the Law

Jesus broke the law. So did George Washington. You did, too, and we want to hear about it.

We were just doing make-believe, officer, I swear.

Up +21 Down

One day my friend and I were driving downtown to go to a show. He had the brilliant idea to do fake drive-by shootings with his cap gun. I thought it was stupid, but knew I couldn't stop him. A couple hours later, we were stopped at a red light and four cops in bullet-proof vests came out of nowhere with their guns pointed at our heads. They told us to turn the engine off. I did as I was told. They checked our license plate, said it was the wrong car and left. Later that night, we returned to our car in the parking lot. As soon as I put my hand on the door, eight fully armed cops came out from every angle while two squad cars blocked our exit. They told us to get on the ground, cuffed us, searched us for weapons, then put my friend and I in two separate cars for a half hour until they found the cap gun in our car. It turned out that around the time my friend was playing “Drive-by Shooting,” there was an actual drive-by shooting that happened nearby. Someone called the cops on us thinking my friend was shooting an actual gun and so the police made the connection. Our bad.
