HILARIOUS REAL-LIFE CRIMES

Today, we have tons of podcasts, YouTube videos, TikToks, and documentaries about true crime. It seems like we can’t get enough of learning about the person behind heinous crimes and their motives. But what about the crimes you can’t help but laugh at because they’re almost too funny to be true?

Monopoly money doesn’t work in the real world. Michael Fuller stopped by Walmart to purchase a vacuum cleaner and microwave for $476. But instead of paying with real money, he decided to pay using a million-dollar note from the game Monopoly.

DON’T SIGN AWAY YOUR RIGHTS! THE IMPORTANCE OF A FRONT LICENSE PLATE
Under the U.S. Constitution, you have the right to be free from unreasonable searches, including searches of your car. In our June newsletter, we discussed what factors must be at play for a police officer to search your vehicle. We mentioned that they must have reasonable causes based on facts and circumstances. Without this, the officer is not permitted to search your car.
If your car isn’t exempt from this law and you don’t have two license plates on your vehicle, you could receive a $200 fine — or worse, a vehicle search. We’ve heard from several clients that after being pulled over for not having a front license plate, the officer used it as an excuse to search their vehicle. Unfortunately, we often hear about this often. One
way you can prevent unwanted searches and seizures is by having your front license plate. While there are other reasons law enforcement may pull you over and search your car, ensuring you follow state laws is the best way to protect yourself and prevent this from happening. Not having a front license plate is the equivalent of signing away your constitutional rights to avoid unlawful searches and seizures — and no one wants that! If you or someone you know was arrested due to a vehicle search or other incident, please call us. We will do everything possible to have your charges dropped, reduced to a lesser crime, or expunged from your record.
For example, if the cop sees something illegal in your car, overhears you talking about something illegal, or believes something is unlawful, they can search your vehicle without a warrant. But there is another tactic officers use to look inside your car — and it uses license plates. In Texas, almost all vehicles must display two license plates: one on the front of the car and the second at the rear. Each plate must be visible, legible, and securely fastened to the car. The only vehicles exempt from having two license plates are road tractors, motorcycles, trailers, semitrailers, antique cars, and former military vehicles.
