[...] after 25-year-old Xavier Moran was involved in a crash on April 5, he told a sheriff's deputy he had been cut off by another driver and could prove it with his dashboard camera. He then signed a consent waiver to search the camera.
When the Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy reviewed the footage, he saw Moran burglarizing a beauty store. Authorities say the video showed Moran taking a baseball bat from the trunk and someone using the bat to break the glass door to the store.
He was arrested [April 10] on burglary charges.
Boing Boing further reports that the guy just can't stay out of trouble.
I first heard the story via NPR's "news" quiz show "Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me".

Not that we do "news for Nerds", but this sure ain't it. Are we saying that a dash-cam makes it tech? Fox News level article.

But we sometimes do humour. True, this is not in the strict definition of STEM, but it is under the 'Random' topic. Smile and move on to the next story.

This is one for World's Dumbest Criminals. If he'd managed to kill himself somehow, he'd be a Darwin Award nominee.
