Aussie man wakes hungover to find hilarious cop selfies on phone

‘Bloody legends’ - by that's life!

Aussie man wakes hungover to find hilarious cop selfies on phone

Over the weekend, Tasmania police officers picked up a drunk man and took him home.

 

Said man, named Reese, woke up the next day to find a bunch of selfies on his phone, which he promptly shared to Facebook.

"So was just looking through my phone and turns out these good ***** took some banger selfies after they took my drunk ass home!" he wrote, before finishing with "Bloody legends."

Tasmania police then shared the photo to their Facebook page, taking the opportunity to encourage people to organise their night - and a way to get home - before getting too intoxicated. 

"On this occasion, police were contacted by a taxi company for assistance in getting the man home. When police arrived, they found out his address, took the man home and waited for a friend to arrive to look after him," the post read.

"Because he was a bit worse for wear, our officers took the opportunity to record the moment with a selfie in the likely event he could not remember how he got home."

Tasmania Police encourages party-goers to plan ahead so they can enjoy their night. Senior Sgt Craig Fox, of Northern District, said that people should pre-arrange a designated driver, use public transport or organise a taxi if they were intending to have a big night. "Make a plan about how you will get home before you have a drink. Then there's no risk to you, your family, friends or others on the road," Snr Sgt Fox said. "Consideration should also be given to arranging alternative accommodation for the night, at either a friend's house or hotel/motel to ensure your safety. People should stick together and look out for one another when going out, or when heading home." Snr Sgt Fox said that police did not normally drive people home who were suffering from the effects of alcohol. "However police are always looking for a place of safety for anyone who is affected by alcohol. "On this occasion, police were contacted by a taxi company for assistance in getting the man home. When police arrived, they found out his address, took the man home and waited for a friend to arrive to look after him," he said. "Because he was a bit worse for wear, our officers took the opportunity to record the moment with a selfie in the likely event he could not remember how he got home."

The photo, which was picked up by popular site Reddit, has already received over 7,500 likes on the Tasmania Police Facebook page, with comments reading, "Hilarious, bravo" and "Good job team!"
