Funny Police Photos! An exciting collection of strange, but true, pictures taken by cops on duty. Also an assortment of actual bizarre excuses motorists use on cops to get out of tickets
This photo is an actual picture of probably one of the strangest practical jokes ever, and it happened on the campus of MIT! Throughout the years, one of the favorite sites of hacks has been the ``Great Dome,'' the large classical dome that sits atop Building 10. In May of 1994, inspired hackers created what might just become one of the most famous Dome hacks of all time, by placing what appeared to be a real MIT Campus Police cruiser on top of the dome, complete with flashing lights.
The car turned out to be the outer metal parts of a Chevrolet Cavalier attached to a multi-piece wooden frame, all carefully assembled on the roof over the course of one night. The hackers paid special attention to detail. Not only had the Chevy been painted to look just like a Campus Police car from all sides, but a dummy dressed up as a police officer sat within, with a toy disc gun and a box of donuts. The car, numbered ``pi,'' also sported a pair of fuzzy dice, the license number ``IHTFP,'' an MIT Campus Police parking ticket (``no permit for this location''), and a yellow diamond-shaped sign on the back window proclaiming ``I break for donuts.''
People first began noticing the hack early in the morning, just before sunrise, when passers by spotted the flashing lights on top of the building.Local people, reporters, and camera crews began to gather around 8, smiling, talking, taking pictures, and just generally watching as MIT Physical Plant began the slow dismantling of the car. Several helicopters even came to look, circling close around the Great Dome
