Student Busted for Cell Phone Shots of His Pot Plants
If you needed any more proof that smoking pot turns your brain cells to dust, consider this morning's UPI story of an Italian university student who recently used his cell phone to snap a picture of himself standing proudly in front of his crop of marijuana plants. The student was so pleased with the photo that he made it his cell phone's wallpaper background, allowing him to show off his anti-establishment cred to anyone who cared to look. But, that bravado would come back to bite the unnamed student in the ass when he misplaced his fanny pack, which contained the phone. And yes, we said 'fanny pack.'
The pack and its contents were found by a good Samaritan and turned over to the police. Of course, when the cops saw the picture on the cell phone they tracked the student down and asked him about it. Unfortunately, his stick-it-to-the-man attitude was but a facade. He quickly crumbled, admitted to growing the marijuana plants and led police right to them, after which he was promptly arrested.
We could warn you to be careful about what you photograph with your cell phone, but that's not the real lesson here. The lesson to this story is, simply: Don't be an idiot.
