That’s right: If you drive drunk in Kensington, PEI, they will play Nickelback while taking you back to the station.
This makes Dick Cheney look like Mother Theresa:
Police in Canada says it will be punishing drunk drivers by not only arresting them, but forcing them to listen to corporate boy band Nickelback on the way to the cop shop.
A Facebook post from the Kensington Police Department of Prince Edward Island warns would-be partiers in the Great White North to avoid getting behind the wheel tipsy, lest they be caught, booked and serenaded by the 21st century's discount Bon Jovi.
"Now now, no need to thank us," the police warn. "We figure if are foolish enough to get behind the wheel after drinking, then a little Chad Kroeger and the boys is the perfect gift for you."
…….
True to form, the Kensington Police are being considerably more polite with their own threats of sensory bombardment. They say that currently the department's copy of Nickelback's 2001 album Silver Side Up will remain safely wrapped in plastic should nobody in the town be caught driving under the influence.
"So please, let's not ruin a perfectly good unopened copy of Nickelback," the police offer.
"You don't drink and drive and we won't make you listen to it."
Expect a flood of refugees.
