Considering just how chaotic a police scanner can become when the crime lords decide to <A href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/crime/">hit the streets</A>, we can't fault the boys in blue for <A href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/05/ps3-crime-spree-the-missing-episodes-heist-goes-awry-witness/">showing up</A> at the wrong address or completely missing a shoplifter with a <A href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/07/aussie-uses-pants-to-hide-stolen-projector/">projector in his shorts</A>, but this one's just absurd. Apparently, a Manchester man had his home invaded by squads of armed police after a pistol-wielding Lara Croft mannequin served as cause for concern. The officials mistook the ominous silhouette for an actual gunman, and took it upon themselves to rush in and attempt to save the day. Interestingly, the homeowner was actually arrested for "suspected firearms offense," but he's currently speaking to lawyers about "a possible claim for wrongful arrest." Man, publicly humiliating yourself <EM>and</EM> begging for a lawsuit -- now that's a <A href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/dumb">full day's work</A>.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3CAB07DC-5861-48CB-982D-AE0FB8804BA4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
