Escapade in the Escalade: Darnell Dockett and His Hilarious Tweets

Who knew that NFL star Darnell Dockett would turn into a Fourth Amendment scholar?

Earlier today, police pulled the Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle over for speeding, or as those of us from Detroit call it, "Driving While Black". Not content with issuing the football player a ticket, the police officer allegedly asked Dockett if he could search his car.

Dockett, fully understanding his right to not be searched and harassed by the cops, told the officer "no". This set off a multi-hour, multi-cop standoff, as cops sought backup and legal advice while Dockett recorded the entire event on his Twitter feed.

Here is the entirety of Dockett's feed, with the oldest tweets at the top. I dare you not to laugh at your desk. (I about peed...and it wasn't radioactive.)
