Fake DVD dealer tries to sell films to trading standards officers
The hapless dealer hoped to make a quick profit after spotting a group of office workers in the Rose and Crown pub in Streatham, south London.
But he made the mistake of offering up to 300 fake DVDs to officers of Lambeth Council who are responsible for cracking down on counterfeit sales.
They showed the man their identification before seizing the discs and his mobile phone. He will be questioned by trading standards officers and police this week.
Whoops :)
Terrible luck for poor guy. Can’t see him getting doen for much though, they shuld have called the police, detained him and searched his home and seized all the copying equipment!
That’d be like some street vendor here in Los Angeles trying to unload some movie theatre videos copies to someone who works at the MPAA… or worse someone who worked on the movie!
