That’s embarrassing.

Cops break the law all the time. On average, it’s estimated that around 1,000 police officers are arrested every year — and that’s mainly when the arresting officer has no other choice, such as in cases of drunk driving or assault.

Often, it’s unclear whether a cop just doesn’t know the law or if they’re intentionally ignoring it, and most of the time, the general public isn’t well-informed on the issue either. When they are, however, they can pose a real headache for an officer, as this officer learned upon trying to apprehend an innocent man.
