By Emily Weaver i) [Osan a car with a revoked li- cense and no insurance, getting caught and then letting your friend, who also doesnt have a valid license, cruise in it a few hours later. O) repeatedly parking in a_handi- capped space and repeatedly getting caught, without a limp or a tag. SPlaying a practical joke on a friend but failing to inform him before he calls the law on you. Zeunning away from an officer who only wanted to ask a question about vandalism and not about the alcohol you're hiding. Obriving through a roadblock and endangering emergency work- ers. Your intentions=reckless, their intentions=saving people who put their lives in danger, like you. Sereattrig your own handicapped tag to use. That'll solve your parking prob- lems, at least until you're caught. At packing 10 people into an 8-per- son elevator at the UC (which has only 3 floors) and wondering why you got stuck. 3 Getting arrested with a quarter pound of pot and lots of cash. But that was rent money, Officer. ok a dead give-away to park and take off running at a check point. Of- ficers are trained to outrun under-aged drunks. nes call her the streak; she shows off her physique. Then hides behind clothes so officers wouldn't know. FT ON
