This prankster baked some cookies that look like iPhones and went out driving in search of cops to pull him over.
Randy Liedtke, a Los Angeles comedian, tweeted the whole affair.
He started by tweeting a photo of some iPhone-shaped cookies he had baked, below.
He tweeted that he was going to try to capture a police officer’s attention and get pulled over for appearing to be talking on a cell phone.
However, the prank backfired when it turned out that he had unpaid parking tickets and had to follow the police officer back to the station and received a ticket for those unpaid fines.
You can check out his tweets, beginning with a photo of the cookies he posted on December 8:
Made iPhone Cookies to trick cops into pulling me over, I'll just take a bite and ask if cookies are against the law. pic.twitter.com/MBGYAH1hiH

He then headed out on the 11th in an effort to capture the attention of an unwitting police officer:
I'm honestly gonna drive around wih my iPhone Cookie today and see what happens!

This should have been his first warning sign:
Whoa! Almost ran a red light tweeting that last one. Gonna put my real phone down and focus on the cookie phone. Wish me luck

He finally gets noticed:
Just saw a police car going the other way. Gonna turn around and see if I can catch up and drive by it. #iphonecookie

The plot thickens:
OH MAN IM GETTING PULLED OVER STAY TUNED!

Mission accomplished – one angry cop!
Took a bite out of the cookie. He was so confused and angry. Told me to hold tight, he is back in his car now.

The prank backfires:
