Indiana city bans 'all crime' during cold snap

A Police Dept. with a sense of humor

Police in Indiana are warning residents to lay off the crime as extremely cold temperatures are expected to permeate the area.

"All crime and illegal activities in Noblesville and the surrounding areas, will be prohibited until further notice," the Noblesville Police Department jokingly wrote on Facebook. "If you fail to comply with this notice there is a possibility of a fine or even jail time."

The National Weather Service issued a wind chill warning in the Indianapolis area from 10 p.m. ET Tuesday until 1 p.m. ET Thursday.

"Dangerously cold wind chills" are expected in the area with wind chill as low as -45 degrees below zero. Meteorologists warn that such conditions "could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes."

Noblesville police said that once the hazardous weather conditions improve, they will "be sending out a formal notice via certified mail when illegal activities can resume."

"If you do not receive your formal notice you cannot participate in any criminal endeavors," the department joked.

Might work better to announce all incarceration will be alfresco.

Mother nature may be the most effective crime prevention for the next few days.

Wait, what if we make crime illegal all of the time?

No no no. Start requiring a permit to commit crimes. Must apply in person at the police department, fee due at time of application. Go from there...

Nah, they just switch to committing different types of crime. Folks will be staying indoors, getting drunk/high, arguing, and beating on each other.

(Property crime goes down in bad weather, but domestics go up.)

Yeah, but since everybody's shut up inside with their furnace blowing full blast, nobody else can hear it. Unless they call on themselves, we're not gonna hear about it. And hopefully if it gets really out of hand, nobody finds the mess until day shift!
