Lights Out
Kent, England, police stopped three boys for taking pictures of a lamp post with a mobile phone. No, really. The paperwork given to Danny Finn, 12, says it clearly, "Was seen taking photos of lamp post . . . advice given." Police also gave notes to Michael Fearn and George Supple, both 13, that say "Hanging around lamp post - spoken to." Police later explained that the boys were taking pictures of graffiti.
