Wrong Turn
A Melissa, Texas, cop pulled Mark Robinson over for failing to use his turn signal. Then he arrested him and took him to jail, where he was strip-searched and held for three hours. Police Chief Duane Smith admits he's never even heard of anyone being arrested for a turn signal violation. A local TV station contacted other law enforcement agencies in Collin County. All of them said they'd never arrested anyone for a turn signal violation. Still, Smith says he stands by his officer.
