The worlds stupidest criminals

Or should that be William Rehnquist, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy, and Sandra Day O'Connor?

And my Connect card was starting to look a wee bit ropey so a nice new one would be lovely.

All = routine hilarious urban myths. Also hond-up artists who use banana under coat, but forget to bring coat.

I retrieved my card, and walked off with smug self-satisfaction. I dashed back three seconds later to grab my tenner, which had just appeared in the slot.

How's that for drunken stupidity?

2 bank robbers tried to break open an ATM in a bank in Dinant (Belgium) last night, using way too much explosives. The result: building collapsed, they both died, the ATM wasn't harmed at all. Pics here:

But officer, you don't understand! Groping a woman while dressed as Captain America with a burrito in my pants is the name of my dog!

Lucky it wasn't a footlong sub...

Sighs, dejectedly scraps "hey baby, wanna touch my burrito" off his opening line list

The woman called police and, when they arrived, the officers wrote in their report "there were so many cartoon characters in the bar at the time, all Captain America's were asked to go outside for a possible identification."

(CNN) -- Two people charged in a staged Texas bank heist apparently didn't think twice when they typed messages in the "What's on your mind?" portion of their Facebook pages, court documents say.
"Get $$$(;.," wrote bank employee Estefany Danelia Martinez two days before $62,201 was taken from the International Bank of Commerce in Houston, according to an affidavit from FBI Special Agent Kevin J. Katz.
According to the affidavit, filed with a criminal complaint in federal court this week, her boyfriend, Ricky Gonzalez, wrote on his page on March 24, the day after the heist, "Wipe my teeth with hundereds."

Gang tattoo leads to a murder conviction

Inked on the chest of a Pico Rivera gang member was the detailed scene of a liquor store slaying that had stumped an L.A. County sheriff's investigator for more than four years. It leads to a jailhouse confession from Anthony Garcia — and a first-degree murder conviction.

Dude charged with five counts of reckless driving is stopped by cops. Dude evades cops on his motorcycle after reaching 115mph and escapes. Dude captures the chase on his GoPro helmetcam. Dude posts his video on Youtube titled "Yamaha R6 Runs From Cops - Full High Speed Chase!!" Cops discover video. Cops obtain warrant and arrest cyclist, who had the video on his computer.

we didn't have a thread specifically for the world's stupidest war criminals so

warning: upsetting images in here

https://www.smh.com.au/national/buried-evidence-and-threats-how-ben-roberts-smith-tried-to-cover-up-his-alleged-crimes-20210408-p57hlr.html

The images published here, and hundreds more, were in the possession of Roberts-Smith. Among them is one that shows what former defence force chief Chris Barrie has told The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and 60 Minutes is credible evidence of the war crime of desecrating a corpse.

They are clear illustrations of what, when he came to investigate Australian military war crimes in Afghanistan, military Inspector-General Paul Brereton described as a culture in which “ethical leadership was compromised by toleration, acceptance and participation in a widespread disregard for behavioural norms”. Justice Brereton singled out alcohol consumption at the Fat Ladies Arms as one part of that failure of discipline.

One of the photographs shows a senior commissioned Special Air Services Regiment commanding officer simulating a sex act with a high-ranking soldier using an object taken from a model camel.

The images were stored on a series of USB drives that also contained classified documents and videos. But despite Brereton’s order at the start of his probe in 2016 that soldiers hand over all images and files, Roberts-Smith did not do so, according to sources with knowledge of the cache but who have asked to remain anonymous.

Instead, the sources say, Roberts-Smith dug a hole in the backyard of his house in the Sunshine Coast hinterland and buried the USB drives inside a pink plastic children’s lunchbox to hide them from both police and military investigations.
