Local news: journalist writes bollocks.

I can only think I missed this because of Christmas:
Police have taken a slippery character into custody after making an unusual Christmas Day arrest.
Oh?
Officers picked up a one-metre long tiger snake found sunbaking near the South Melbourne Life Saving Club on South Melbourne beach after being called to the scene at about 8.30am (AEDT) on Friday.
They picked it up? Fuck that! They have been known to kill people, you know. Still, the point is that they picked it up. They did not in actual fact arrest the fucking thing. This would be because there is probably no offence on the statute books that you could arrest it for and charge it with, and certainly no way it could possibly meet any sane test of criminal responsibility even if there was, since it is not actually a person but just a fucking snake.

On the other hand I'd have gone straight over there and paid money to see the cops trying to handcuff it.
