While packing boxes for my impending move to Houston, I had ocassion to use some duct tape to seal a box. This reminded me of the time when I was a Police Officer and answered a domestic problem call for service. I arrived along with backup, to discover that a woman had completely wrapped her drunk and passed out, abusive husband with duct tape. She only left his nose and mouth free. We had been to the same house several times in the past for domestic abuse, and were familiar with the subjects. The man had stated in the past that if she ever left him he would kill her. The woman said that she was leaving him for good and that this would give her a real good head start. At the time it sounded reasonable. I'm ashamed to say that we left and cleared the call with no action taken.
To the cops... The funniest thing you ever saw...

I stopped a 5150 (or 800 or NUT) who was brandishing some tree stakes and blowing a whistle. He was plainly crazy, but relatively harmless. After a prolonged conversation in which I agreed to call him Officer-Doctor-President for Life-Racecar Driver-pilot, a fat woman of the same race interceded on his behalf. She asked, "Officer, what's this man done?" I responded, "Ma'am, I'm conducting an official police investigation with this gentleman. If you could please step to the side, when I'm finished, I will be happy to answer your questions." Dissatisfied, she turned to the Officer-Doctor-President for Life-Racecar Driver-pilot and asked him, "Why is the police harassing you?"
He looked at her and yelled, "B---h, can't you see this officer and I are conducting an official police investigation? Why don't you f--- off and mind your own business!"
Talk about citizen support! Just had to grin and let the guy go afterwards (I paid him a $1 for his sticks).

OK, second hand story here, possibly urban legend. One guy I used to work in college with was a part-time cop studying for his CJ major.
Story goes that 2 drunks were driving along, drinking beer, tossing empty the beer bottles on the floor of the car and when they needed to take a whiz, simply grabbed an empty from the floor and filled 'er up.
Somewhere along the way one goofed and instead of tossing the urine-filled bottle out the window, replaced the beer he was sucking down with the bottle of urine.
He was just about to take a drink, realized the bottle was filled with piss (from the smell) and has the brilliant idea of playing a little joke on his buddy.
Said buddy was too drunk to notice that he was drinking piss. First guy thought it was pretty funny, (plus the more piss his partner drank the more beer for him) so he filled another bottle, and another. Somewhere along the way the second guy gets really sick and eventually ends up in the hospital.
Seems you can only drink so much piss.
