The worst part is that the video is of the Tom Green movie “Freddie Got Fingered.”

The film — which won five Razzie Awards in 2002 including Worst Picture — is the reason that 37-year-old single father James Meyers was arrested on Tuesday after being stopped by a policeman in North Carolina for a broken taillight.

25 minutes later, the cop said (according to Meyers), “I don’t know how to tell you this but there’s a warrant out for your arrest from 2002. Apparently you rented the movie “Freddy Got Fingered” and never returned it.”

    NC – figures.

    Lying Thieving Christian RepubliKons that have 0 compulsion when stealing from injured workers who refuse to sign legally binding documents that will not state what the agreement is until AFTER they sign …

    – with no statute of limitations on VCR rentals unreturned.

    another proud moment for the ‘christians’ of NC and their little ‘oberfuhrer’ too!

    whatever happened to billing the person for the cost of the video or sending it to collections?

    Same thing happened to my idiot brother way back in the late 80’s…
    Rented and never returned a video, charged with felony theft, plead guilty,(3rd felony conviction)..
    In some states that would have been a 3rd strike and a life sentence.

    I got arrested for tinted windows, I sold the car and forgot about it (turned into a warrant) and they sent me to Wackenhut!
