More stupid criminals!

Canadians try to sneak American guns across river on jet ski

(Detroit Free Press, long known as “freep”)

Stupid criminals aren’t always American.

From the article:
The federal government says it has busted a cross-country and international gun smuggling scheme involving three Canadians, a Jet Ski and a backpack full of guns that were stuffed into tube socks — all of which two people tried to sneak across the St. Clair River into Canada in the middle of the night.
But on the other side, authorities say, one of the smugglers made a mistake: He reportedly approached an unmarked police car, thinking it was there to pick him up.
He was wrong.

1. "He was wrong" Nope, he was right; he got picked up just not in the way he thought he'd be picked up :)
