A rookie cop in Scotland needs to learn the difference between a drone and a planet.

According to the Daily Record, the cop from Glasgow was chasing what she thought was a drone in the sky while on her way to a shopping centre. However, the officer became red with embarrassment after realizing the “drone” was actually the planet Jupiter.

After leaving her station early Tuesday, the officer saw a bright light in the sky she thought was a drone. She drove to the shopping centre in an attempt to shake the “drone” from following her, but the attempt was unsuccessful.

The officer called the general complaints line for Police Scotland to report the “drone.” She returned to her station to talk to a senior officer and pointed to the white dot in the sky that was following her.

COPS ARRESTED FOR PARTYING AT POLICE STATION

Those who work hard party hard.

But it’s probably best not to do so at your workplace.

According to Malay Mail, three police officers, a police station chief and four women were arrested after being caught partying hard at a police station in Kajang, Malaysia, this past Tuesday.

After receiving a tip from the public about the bash, the Bukit Aman Standards Compliance Integrity Department raided the station, where they reportedly found a group of individuals singing karaoke, dancing and drinking alcohol and ketum drinks in a room on the second floor.

In an interview with Chinese media outlet Thepaper.cn, Dr. Chen Xiangfeng, who is in charge of the sperm bank, said the contest was aimed at post-secondary students in an effort to push them to take care of their reproductive health at a young age.

There are some strict rules for contest participants. Each potential donor must have a sperm concentration of more than 60 million per millimetre of semen. Donors will also need to visit the sperm bank a number of times over a six-month period.

‘IDIOTS’ CEASE MOO-VEMENT ON BUSY HIGHWAY: COPS

Don’t have a cow, man.

Cops in England were certainly annoyed, saying “idiots” opened a farmer’s gate which allowed a cow to escape, causing traffic to stop on a busy highway this past Tuesday.

Central Motorway Police Group (CMPC) said officers â€" along with workers from Highways England â€" responded after finding a cow wandering on the M6 highway in Doxey, Staffordshire.

In a tweet, CMPG officers stated “idiots forced (and) left a farmer’s gate open.”

After some work, authorities were able to corral the cow back behind a gate as they escorted the animal home with the help of farmers.

“Many thanks to the drivers held up as we shut the carriageway, your patience as we deal with these and other incidents is greatly appreciated,” they concluded the tweet.
