20 of the Dumbest Things Done by Police Officers

Everyone makes mistakes at their jobs, but some professions are a little more high stakes than others. For instance, you wouldn’t want to be in the middle of getting a tattoo and hear the tattoo artist say, “Oops!” The same goes for police officers. One Redditor recalls a bumbling boy in blue pulling him over for “being suspicious,” citing the facts that the driver was bald and on the road at 3 a.m. As far as we’re aware, though, neither is a crime (maybe a toupee is, but not leaving it bald up top). 

Other Redditors have aired their grievances about when Johnny Law really whiffed, and boy do these stories have a Chief Wiggum vibe to them.
