This video just goes from bad to worse...to worse...to worse.
A video recently posted to the West St. Paul Police Department's Facebook page serves as a manual for everything you shouldn't do.
It starts with footage of an SUV blowing through a four-way stop right in front of a patrol car. Sgt. John Hinderscheid pulls the driver over, and from there things get almost hilariously worse. Let's follow the string of violations:
Violation #1 - Failure to Stop at Stop Sign
Even before addressing the driver, Hinderscheid notices a broken tail light.

When asked for her driver's license or insurance card, the driver didn't have either with her, adding two more violations. "You're batting 1000 today!" Sgt. Hinderscheid's says at this point. You can almost hear the disbelief in his voice.
