[rec.humor.funny] Novice trooper - true story

meo%rsiatl.uucp@mathcs.emory.edu (Miles ONeal) (09/16/90)

Yesterday, in a county in south Georgia (USA), a young
state trooper went to the local magistrate and requested
a warrant to arrest someone. The magistrate, doing his
job, determined there was insufficient evidence and
refused to issue the warrant.

The trooper arrested the magistrate for "obstruction
of justice".

Upon arrival at the county jail, the sheriff quickly
determined what had happened, and refused to lock up the
magistrate.

The best part was the state patrol post's leader's
response, in a radio interview. "We believe this was
just a minor misunderstanding. We have spoken with the
trooper, and it won't happen again."
