A Little Friday File Fun

In Montreal, Canada, a man driving his car was singing along to the 1990s dance hit “Gonna Make You Sweat.” Then, he got pulled over by police.

After he replied, “Nothing,” one officer asked him, “Did you scream loudly?” the Canadian Broadcasting Company reported. He told the officers, “No, I was just listening to my favorite song.” After police checked the man’s license and registration, they came back with a traffic ticket fining him $149 Canadian dollars (or $117) for screaming in his car.
