If you're 19 years old and you allegedly decide to drink and drive — then allegedly run from officers — expect the Dunwoody Police Department to make an example of you when you're caught.
A funny example. On Facebook.
Monday night, officers initiated a traffic stop after seeing a reckless driver on Ashford Dunwoody Road. The driver allegedly made a series of mistakes, and officers decided to share tips on what not to do if you're in the same situation.
The post is popular with the department's followers.
"Actually, do all of these things, it makes it so much easier to convict," Jennifer Gjestson commented.
And Marilyn Smith Schuster commented, "There's a whole lot of stupid going on there."
It also caught the attention of online social news site Buzzfeed.
"And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you should keep your Facebook page private. And, you know, not drive recklessly or run from police or lie to them or get behind the wheel after drinking," Buzzfeed wrote.
This isn't the first time Dunwoody police have offered a comical "public service announcement."
In March, a Facebook post had suggestions for what not to do when visiting headquarters to bail someone out of jail.
