Cliffs: These Alabama residents have outstanding child support balances, thiught they were winning Iron Bowl Tickets, Got Arrested, and I laughed hard.

Hey You've Won Psyche You're Under Arrest

I have never laughed so hard in my life. These people had to be thinking "wtf?" First guy just looked so hurt and betrayed. I felt bad for him. The guy at the end made the video though. "Do I still get my tickets?"

[Carolina Husker]

This could not have worked better with any other fanbase/rivalry.

Love the trolling music the police used.

Or the one chick with the guy who had the little afro going. "YAY! YOU WON!"

Best music choice was the Black Eyed Peas song though. By far.

I sure am not defending these people that aren't paying their child support, but isn't that some type of entrapment? Surely something about what those cops are doing is shady.

[Carolina Husker]

I don't think you quite understand how entrapment works...

That would be why I asked...

[mmmbeans]

it would be entrapment if the cops convinced them not to pay their child support and then arrested them for it.

[Carolina Husker]

Entrapment is when the cops get you to commit a crime so they can then arrest you.

This is just a way to get them to show up for crimes they've already committed.

If these folks werent so use to getting something for nothing they would have seen right through this.. For their foolishness they get a ticket to jail were we the taxpayers can continue to foot the bill for them and their childs. YAY!

In criminal law, entrapment is constituted by a law enforcement agent inducing a person to commit an offense that the person would otherwise have been unlikely to commit.[1] In many jurisdictions, entrapment is a possible defense against criminal liability. However, there is no entrapment where a person is ready and willing to break the law and the government agents merely provide what appears to be a favorable opportunity for the person to commit the crime. For example, it is not entrapment for a government agent to pretend to be someone else and to offer, either directly or through an informant or other decoy, to engage in an unlawful transaction with the person (see sting operation). So, a person would not be a victim of entrapment if the person was ready, willing and able to commit the crime charged in the indictment whenever opportunity was afforded, and that government officers or their agents did no more than offer an opportunity.

Washington Redskins did same thing back in the 90's except it was a on a much larger scale with hundreds of letters sent out and over 50 showed up. Also they went after those with more serious warrants against them. Unlike here, they had them all show up at the same time to the stadium instead of "walk ins". After going through the whole party (yes, they let them party it up a little), they moved them into a different room and each had their own chair where they were to listen to a little speech and get their tickets handed to them. Then several dozen police in full battle gear rushed in with rifles ordering them to get on the floor. It was hysterical the next few moments. Most complied, some tried to run and got nowhere. Bodies everywhere on the floor getting cuffed. All over the world news but it must have been at least 15+ years ago now.

I can't stand people not paying their child support. If you have children, it's the least one can do.

While I don't like cops, or lying cops, or crooked cops (aren't they all tho?) this stuff needs to be done sometimes.

[SOJA]

That was hilarious

Would really like to see video of this.
