I thought a trick was something a whore does for money.


hmm...learn something new every day.

The beer is a lie.

This kind of thing is hardly new. I've seen it done with offers of cruises and vacation packages.

True, but this was with beer. BEER.

beer, lottery, relative died and left you money and a house and
you would think that this method would be used as a first line of tracking people down?

These tricks only work on dumb criminals. Dumb criminals are hardly a threat in our society, in fact they're an endless source of amusement on sites such as Fark, and television shows on TruTV. This is just lazy police work.

To be fair, I'm sure it's a great moral booster for the cops.

"Hey, lets see if they'll walk straight into the jail cell if we glue a beer tap onto the wall!"

If you give the government the power to use free beer, you are giving government unlimited power.

Yeah, fark the police! Arresting criminals instead of doing their damn jobs and cherry picking whom they should arrest based on one man's opinion

2011-11-11 01:22:06 PM
If you somehow hear of this and you HAVEN'T committed any crimes, do you get free beer?
 
2011-11-11 01:23:06 PM
They do this in North Alabama with Iron Bowl (Auburn-Alabama football game) tickets to get parents who haven't been paying their child support. Works like a charm.

They could've gotten the same results if they had offered BIE.

Yeah, why are those pigs posing with cases of beer when its all a ruse, one that I don't appreciate at all btw.

Did they get the free beer?

If not I'd sue the hell out of them.

I mean I'm just a caveman. I fell on some ice and later got thawed out by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know - when a man is offered free beer but doesn't receive said free beer then he is entitled to no less than one case of free beer plus a case of free beer in compensatory damages, and one case of free beer in punitive damages. Thank you.

The cops sent LETTERS promising free beer?
Isn't that federal postal fraud?
 
2011-11-11 02:23:39 PM
They promised something of value without any intention to make good on the promise.

I think this is called "fraud"

Sounds familiar, but they kept on trying, apparently.

*raises hand*

I have a dumb question..this has to be a dumb question..but I need to ask it.

If the police are having problems finding these people - "sent letters to dozens of people who had evaded arrest for several months."

How.. Okay, how did they have their addresses but never catch them at home? I mean.. you have their mailing address, but.. yet they still evade the police?

I'm just gonna go sit down and wait for my "ahh you dummy" moment to happen.

The people at the addresses know how to get in contact with them, but won't tell the police.

I have a friend who is a cop, and when he was a patrol officer, he made it a point to make at least one arrest a day. One day, he said, everybody was being good, and at the end of his shift, he hadn't arrested anybody, so he went through a stack of warrants, called some that he knew from having arrested them in the past, and told them to get their ass down to the police station so he could arrest them, and they'd better be quick about it, or he'd come get them, and then he'd be angry. Four showed up within the hour.

Need: Beer
Complication: On duty police officer, broke.
Solution: Create elaborate scheme to arrest suspects by luring them with beer. The city buys the beer.
Results: Arrests made, get to wear street clothes and drink beer to appear legitimate.

Clever bastards.

I was actually thinking the same thing.. yeah, by definition it is.. but, police are above the law and don't have to worry about such petty things like driving laws, fraud, theft and murder unless others on the force think he's an ass... then it hits the news!

And, seriously.. why would they fall for the scam and call, it wasn't even Budweiser!!!!!! IDIOTS!!!

/*let's out an evil laugh and ducks into bunker while people go off on Bud* (I wouldn't drink it either)

You inspired me to hunt down that episode on Netflix and go on a early-90s-SNL-spree which has totally killed any chance of me doing anything today. Bravo, sir!

2011-11-11 07:41:55 PM
I don't think that wolves would find much meat on his bones now.

I'm glad I'm not the only person to automatically think of a Simpsons episode every time I see or hear something. Come to think of it, Springfieldians being disappointed of motorboats is a little less on the nailhead than promises of beer--and thus funnier.

Stupid Simpson.
