THE BLOOPER OF THE NIGHT
A couple was detained for not having proof of their car insurance. The traffic agents gave them the possibility to look for it in the app, which the owners of the vehicle tried to access during a hour and half without results. In that period, they ignored the inspectors, belittling their work until they managed to obtain the receipt. Already with this in hand, almost two hours after being intercepted, they doubled the bet and the woman said: “There you have everything. Now, why don’t you get a serious job?”.
One of the inspectors stared at the driver, after tolerating insults for more than two hours, and said: “Sorry, but the breathalyzer test is still missing”.
The test result was positive 1,53 mg/land the vehicle was automatically kidnaped.
