How Not To Pay a Parking Ticket

cohensh writes "A Purdue engineering student was arrested for terroristic mischief. After receiving a parking ticket and having a boot put on his car he put the ticket, boot and payment in a box and left it at parking services. Someone thought the box was suspicious and the building was evacuated. Eventually it was traced back to the student who was arrested for 'leaving something that a reasonable person may think is a weapon of mass destruction.'"

Police Don't Think

"Due to the fact that police thought the box could have been a weapon of mass destruction,"
            Here's where the story starts sounding suspicious, like its a race thing or whatever the cops are up to lately.
Prospective porkers are tested for i.q., not as you would imagine for high numbers, but for low. The reason being, intelligent people tend to think independently and that is a no-no that can bring about judgment calls which in turn screws up the part about bringin in the bad guys who broke a law. The police force needs those who unquestioningly enforce laws, not choose, not moderate, not decide if it's worth it. I'm totally serious. Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventories (MMPI) , the long version, not the one the Scientologists use, are further used to weed out the ham from the bacon. Ever wonder why the general public attitude is "hmmmph, dumb cops"? Well there it is. If there were no 9-11, the same cops would've dove on the box like football players, convinced there were donuts in it. My old uncle did the testing locally for years.
