Technology – Providing New Ways For People To Make Idiots Of Themselves…

A man has been cautioned by police after he bragged on Facebook about vandalising a railway station.

Steve Budd, 23, was arrested by officers from the British Transport Police.
Whoops!
When confronted by the Echo about his online confession Budd insisted the comments were posted by friends playing a prank and he wasn’t “stupid enough” to commit a crime and write about it on Facebook.
Really?

Well, I don’t know about that. You’d be surprised at just how dumb some people can be:
Eight members of a police force's elite gun crime unit have been suspended for "inappropriate behaviour".
Such as..?
A mobile phone photograph, published in the Liverpool Echo on Wednesday, appears to show officers "clowning around" during a raid on a suspect's home. There are also allegations that items seized during search operations later appeared on the internet auction site eBay.
*sigh*

How about; appearing on a "Souvenir DVD" of parachuting, when you claim you can't walk?
