Dallas police are searching for a man who drove off in a squad car after he was left alone in the back seat with his hands cuffed behind him...the man was stopped on suspicion of drunk driving by an officer working alone...the officer left him alone in the car while he was interviewing a passenger...Dallas is the only city in the area which uses vehicles without a cage separating the front and back seats.
wish i could have been there to see this one...better yet, to have been there when the moron officer tried to explain his total ineptitude to his shift supervisor...the police recovered the vehicle about ten minutes after it was reported stolen, but the suspect was long gone...i guess the cop forgot that the average person can easily get their legs passed through their cuffed arms, and even with cuffs on, driving a car is a snap, especially when it was left running...bet that officer will be working some very unpleasant assignment for quite a while after this...wonder if the guy had trouble getting the cuffs off...wonder if they will ever find him...will wondering never cease.
