Why you shouldn't piss off the IRS...

ADVERTISEMENTS

This has to be the most interesting IRS sting operation in its history: a hidden camera set up in a freight elevator, charges filed that could carry 10 years in the slammer, and thousands of dollars of damage inflicted.

What do you think the charge is: tax evasion, racketeering? No way (if it were it wouldn't be on this blog)! Thanks to the good folks over at the Smoking Gun:

A Michigan man was actually named yesterday in a U.S. District Court complaint charging him with urinating in the freight elevator of an Internal Revenue Service building in Detroit.

As a result of his behavior, the IRS had to spend over $4,000 to clean the elevator and the elevator shaft. This upstanding citizen, who was an IRS contractor, was charged with destruction of government property, which is a felony carrying up to ten years in prison. Here's some good news: at least he doesn't have to list himself on a sex offender registry, which is a consequence of being convicted of public urination in several states.

The key to peeing in an IRS elevator is the same one for cheating on your taxes - do it in very small amounts so you don't get caught!
