Brickbat: See You Later

Old Saybrook, Conn., Police Department Officer Josh Zarbo has been placed on administrative leave after being charged with computer crime. Zarbo ran the license plate of a woman he met at Walmart, where he was working security, and soon after that started following her on Instagram. Zarbo claims he ran her license plate because she seemed suspicious. But shortly before seeking that information, he texted a friend, "Bro I am gaming right now." That's apparently slang for trying to pick up women.

A guy named Josh talking street slang? He should be fired for that.

Possible theft... of his heart.
Home earnings allow all people to paint on-line and acquire weekly bills to financial institutions. Earn over $500 each day and get payouts each week instantly to account for financial institutions. (bwj-03) My remaining month of earnings was $30,390 and all I do is paint for as much as four hours an afternoon on my computer. Easy paintings and constant earnings are exquisite with this job.

If she's not doing anything wrong, she has nothing to worry about.
If she doesn't want to have strange men look up her license plates, her car shouldn't be wearing one of THOSE kinds of license plates! Else she is just BEGGING strange men to take license with her!
Perhaps he should have just asked for her digits.
That's not the point. He abused a government database for his own pleasure.
Might want to recalibrate your sarcometer.
What is the problem? That is public information. He was committing journalism.
Wasn’t Josh Zardo the name of the titular character in Sean Connery’s science fiction movie in the early 70s? The one where he wore a mankini-type costume decades before Borat did?
Close. Zardoz. From the golden age of science fiction.
No, "Zardoz" was from a piece of title page from an old book found in a library "wiZARD of OZ"
Bro needs to up his game. Picking up women at Walmart?
What's the going rate for women at Walmart these days, anyway?
I thought that The Google knew EVERYTHING! Yet HERE are my search results!
Your search - "going rate for women at Walmart" - did not match any documents.
I want my money back, from The Google!!!!
Try Duck Duck Goo.

OMG! A feast for the eyeballs!!!
I'm not sure why he engaged in the stalking behavior, he's a cop. He can legally pick up women all day long, even against their will.
'....Average Old Saybrook Police Department Police Officer yearly pay in Old Saybrook is approximately $75,181, which is 39% above the national average. ...' What was suspicious about a woman shopping in a town with very little crime?
>>"Bro I am gaming right now."
texted complete sentence?
I can’t count how many times I have been told, “If you’re not guilty of anything you have nothing to fear from law enforcement,” and my response has always been, “I’m not worried about honest law enforcement officers having my personal information! I’m only worried about dishonest officials.” And yet it never seems to sink in to some peoples’ minds that this kind of thing is even possible.
Exactly!
I am making $162/hour telecommuting. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning $21 thousand a month by working on the web, that was truly shocking for me, she prescribed me to attempt it simply

”Bro I am gaming right now.”
I was gaming last night. I sure hope Tiny Tina is legal now.
I get paid over 190$ per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I’ve been doing..
