    That’s nothing. Remember the guy who brought his gun with him and the machine helped him shoot himself?

          It appears you’re right. But appears the LAPD has had this happen to them as well in a bungled cannabis raid

            I remember that one. The cop was stupid enough to get his gun snatched, and then he was stupid enough to quench the MRI for that!

            Here’s the docket for the resulting court case. In their response this year the LAPD seem to have summarily denied everything.
