Blood From Mosquito Traps Car Thief

Frosty Piss writes "Police in Finland have made an arrest for car theft based on a DNA sample taken from the blood found inside a mosquito. 'A police patrol carried out an inspection of the car and they noticed a mosquito that had sucked blood. It was sent to the laboratory for testing, which showed the blood belonged to a man who was in the police registers,' a police officer told reporters. The suspect, who has been interrogated, has insisted he did not steal the car, saying he had hitchhiked and was given a lift by a man driving the car. I'm wondering if the suspect should have denied any association with the car at all. After all, who knows where that mosquito had been?"

Prosecute yourself or default.

I didn't steal the car, phylofficer. Can I prosecute myself on your behalf some more? What do my tax records say? I got tickets unpaid? Oh thanks, here's a tip for letting me know on behalf of the claimant. Why am I hurting myself all the time?

Why does /. always side with the crook?

God forbid we actually catch bad guys. Why isn't anyone here concerned about the bad things crooks do? Are we really afraid that the government is going to round up people based on mosquitoes?

Even the article submitter:

Well, I'm wondering if the suspect should have 1) not stolen the car or 2) confessed and taken responsibility for the crime and turned his life around. Yes he fucking did it - presumption of innocence is for juries, not Slashdot denizens.

It's like you guys all want the crooks to get away. I know they say 'a liberal is a conservative who's been arrested' and 'a conservative is a liberal who's been robbed', but in all my years, I have never been wrongfully accused of a crime, but I have been a victim of crimes a lot of times.

Now go ahead and mod me down for daring to dissent from the Slashdot Zeitgeist.
