Police AI Glitches, Tennessee Ghost Arrests, and Angry Crows | This is True Really News Mailbag 1045

What happens when a police AI watches too much Disney? You get a report claiming a Sergeant magically transformed into a frog. 🐸

Welcome to Episode 1045 of This is True Really News with Scott Combs and Tony Verkanis. Today, we’re unraveling the most bizarre headlines of the week, from "Vibe-based" law enforcement in Tennessee to a corporate stalking scandal involving funeral wreaths and bloody pig masks.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Ghost DUI Pioneer: Former Trooper Aza Pearl and the 41 cases dismissed after "drunk" drivers blew a perfect 0.00. Apparently, in Tennessee, being too sober is just suspicious.

• The eBay Terror Campaign: A Massachusetts couple wins a settlement after being targeted by former eBay employees with live cockroaches, spiders, and a very unwelcome funeral wreath. 📦🕷️

• AI vs. The Princess and the Frog: A Utah police department’s new AI report-writer gets confused by background TV noise and files a report about a biological metamorphosis mid-investigation.

• The Birds (Gregg’s Edition): Hungry crows in Southwest London are terrorizing bakery patrons for their sausage rolls. Is it time to call in the falconers? 🦅

• Days of Yore: A brief, confusing detour into the Lone Ranger, the Green Hornet, and why "made-up pandemics" were a vibe.

Whether you're here for the well-thought-out snark or just to find out if being a "charming swamp prince" helps you get out of a ticket, we've got you covered.
