Stripper Arrested for Impersonating a Police Officer 22 TIMES! FAIL!

It turns out that protesting freelance journalists in “stripper” costumes aren’t the only ones who get arrested for impersonating police officers. Telegraph.co.uk reported that Stuart Kennedy, a 25-year-old college student, has been arrested 22 times for “impersonating a police officer,” but he hasn’t been convicted once.

Still, it seems like, after the 21st time getting arrested, he would have said, “Hey, maybe I’ll NOT wear the police officer costume today.” He could have gone out as a construction worker or a sailor, or any of the other Village People.
