Cool. This goes to show you that know one is above-the-law.
Nice rag on his head - what, not enough money to buy a quality toupee?
At least he wasn't pimpin.
Wow, sounds like he didn't have time to finish the load. He must have been telemarketing for himself. Those stickers on my car did not get me out of A speeding ticket either. Maybe they will have A special edition of Cops, When he gets the crap beat out of him by the felons.
Thats gotta be the worst toupee in the history of mankind. That rag looks like its made from squirrel.
