Costumed Law-Breaking

People Getting Arrested While Wearing Funny Costumes

Getting arrested while wearing funny costumes is actually very amusing (not for the arrestee, but for everyone else.)

When you break the law, sometimes you get caught—and sometimes you think if you dress like Snow White, you can get away with it. Well, the police don’t care, as this gallery shows. Even if you’re dressed up like a Star Wars soldier, they’re going to get their man or animal on you if you commit a crime.

So next time you happen to be wearing a colorful costume and feel like being a rebel, think twice. How memorable do you really want your mug shot to be?
