Criminal Friday

I read this story in the local paper yesterday.  The lowdown:  This guy was showing off the OnStar system in his Escalade to his girlfriend, but apparently wasn't smart enough to know how to use it.  His stupidity came back to bite him on the ass when OnStar, because it never got a response from him, tracked the Escalade down using GPS and automatically sent the police to make sure he was ok.  Turns out he was, but he also had cocaine in plain view (Uh oh).   In addition to the drugs and $1900 found in the car, the police seized the guy's Escalade with OnStar.

Generally when I'm trying to impress a girl, I skip the OnStar demonstration and go right to showing her my 8-track player.  Then I drop one of my patented pick-up lines:  "Are you 8-tracted to me?" (patent pending).  After that, we go back to my place and pop in a betamax.

If they only taught us by stories like this in Criminal Procedure...we actually might pay attention
