Criminals have rights too

Ok, so it’s another news story… Second one in 3 days, but I just had to share this one with y’all, so STFU and read!

UNFIT THIEF ASKS POLICE FOR “TIME OUT”

From our correspondent in Manila - June 26, 2007

PHILIPPINES - Police chased down an unfit thief today after he ran out of breath and asked his pursuers for a “time out”.

“He was panting and gasping for air when we caught up with him after a 500 metre sprint,” Erwin Buenceso, one of the arresting officers, said on local radio station dzBB.

Buenceso said the man and an accomplice broke into a house in the Philippine capital and stole two expensive mobile phones. Screams from the residence alerted a local police patrol, which started chasing him.

The robber asked for a “time out” using hand signals.

After he regained his composure, police seized the two stolen phones and took him to a station for questioning.

OMFG! A thief asking for a “time out” while being chased by the cops? LMAO, that must be the one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard! And ehm… Excuse me? “AFTER he regained his composure”? WTF!?!?! He actually gót the time out? I bet that will spread like wildfire and be thé lastest thing in police chasings! Well, as long as the “chasee” is aware of his rights, huh? I guess a time out is one of them these days…

   I think they were scared he passes away in their arms, THEY would have been the ones in trouble!

   If I were a cop, I would have assumed he wanted to be Tasered.

   The “After he regained his composure…” part caught my eye too.

   I wonder if he made a T with his hands to indicate Time Out.

   Of course the thief got a ‘time out’. If the cops in the Phillipines look anything like the ones near me, THEY needed a ‘time out’ too!

   Finn: Yeah, I think I’ll start a criminal career in the Philippines if all else fails…

   Tug: It is! LOL

   Lynda: I understand he did. It’s a universal signal, afterall.

   metalmom: Heh! :-)
