A few headlines to back up your statement, for the lighter side of this
thread:

Drug-possession defendant Christopher Johns, on trial in March in Pontiac,
Michigan, said he had been searched without a warrant. The prosecutor said
the officer didn't need a warrant because a "bulge" in Christopher's jacket
could have been a gun. Nonsense, said Christopher, who happened to be wearing
the same jacket that day in court. He handed it over so the judge could see
it. The judge discovered a packet of cocaine in the pocket and laughed so
much he required a five-minute recess to compose himself.
45 year-old Amy Brasher was arrested in San Antonio, Texas, after a mechanic
reported to police that 18 packages of marijuana were packed in the engine
compartment of the car which she had brought to the mechanic for an oil
change. According to police, Brasher later said that she didn't realize that
the mechanic would have to raise the hood to change the oil.
David Posman, 33, was arrested recently in Providence, R.I, after allegedly
knocking out an armored car driver and stealing the closest four bags of
money. It turned out they contained $800 in PENNIES, weighed 30 pounds each,
and slowed him to a stagger during his getaway so that police officers easily
jumped him from behind.
South Carolina: A man walked into a local police station, dropped a bag of
cocaine on the counter, informed the desk sergeant that it was substandard
cut, and asked that the person who sold it to him be arrested immediately.
Germany: Oil of Olay no longer turning the trick for her, a woman decided
that she would bathe in the milk of a camel (a modern-day Cleopatra). So she
stole a camel from the local zoo (where *else* can you find a camel when you
need one?) and transported it back to her house--where she realized that the
camel's name was "Otto."
Police in Bari, Italy, arrested a man suspected of snatching handbags to
finance his drug addiction after he sped past one woman on his motorcycle and
snatched her purse. The woman was his mother, who recognized him and reported
him, said a police spokesperson.
A man arrives late in the night at home completely drunk. He tells his mother
he has been stopped by the police, but, before he could be identified, the
policemen had to leave him alone for a moment, because they had to attend a
nearby car crash. The man profits from the absence of the agents and escapes.
He tells his mother that if the police come she should tell them he has been
at home watching TV with her. Next morning, the police came, and the mother
tells them what her son said. The policemen ask the lady to see her son's
car. They go to the garage, and, to the horror of the mother, they found
their own police car that the son had used to escape (he was so drunk he
could not recognize his own car).
