I think so.

I can't imagine the level of stupidity involved here.

quote:
Officials released a prisoner from a state facility after receiving a phony fax that ordered the man be freed, and didn't catch the mistake for nearly two weeks.
Timothy Rouse, 19, is charged with beating an elderly western Kentucky man and was at the Kentucky Correctional & Psychiatric Center in La Grange for a mental evaluation. He was released from that facility on April 6 after officials received the fake court order.

It contained grammatical errors, was not typed on letterhead and was faxed from a local grocery store. The fax falsely claimed that the Kentucky Supreme Court “demanded” Rouse be released.

I'm tempted to go to a Kinkos and see if I can get some criminals released from FL state prisons.....

I'd video document the whole thing, including the release of the person from jail, and then post it on youtube.

Has anyone seen the movie "Idiocracy"? Something incredibly similar to this happens in one scene.

From the report about the fax: "It contained grammatical errors, was not typed on letterhead and was faxed from a local grocery store. The fax falsely claimed that the Kentucky Supreme Court "demanded" Rouse be released."

Geez. POW pilots in World War II managed to forge identity papers and clothing from practically nothing in order to slip out of Nazi Germany. (Of course that had nothing to do with escaping which was a separate issue, and they were the good guys,) but really; one would think that accomplices would at least tried to get a hold of actual Kentucky Courthouse stationary. But it didn't matter, it worked anyway. Which side of the fax machine was the dumbness on? Both!
