The life of a criminal can be a hard gig.

You’re constantly having to steal, sell drugs or even kill people just to make ends meet – and what’s more, there’s an entire government organisation dedicated to ending your career.

However, there are little tricks you can follow to make your life of crime that little bit easier.

For instance, if you’re ever transporting large marijuana plants try not to have any sticking out the passenger window.


According to WTSP, police in Clearwater, Florida, pulled over a car that had an odd protrusion. In the back seat, leaning out the window like an excitable pup, was a large marijuana plant ripe for harvest.



There were also several other potted plants resting on the back seat, which won’t help the criminals’ case.

Justin Goodloe, 20, and Allen Thomas Barnes, 19, were both charged with manufacturing marijuana.
