This reminds me of when my youngest daughter used to hit herself in the arm and yell for her older brother to "stop hitting me" until my wife caught her in the mirror. She got hit alright. Last time that happened.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Lane County authorities say a suspect brought in for questioning later punched himself in the face and then signed an assault complaint against detectives. But unfortunately for the suspect, a video recorder was running in a holding room where he'd been left after questioning. The sheriff's department said Tuesday the footage shows 33-year-old Aleksander Robin Tomaszewski (tom-uh-SHEV'-skee) hitting himself, leaving two black eyes. Investigators say he told them he hoped filing a complaint would get him released. Authorities say the Lucerne, California, man was brought in for questioning Jan. 9 on an unrelated case that's under investigation. He was charged with initiating a false report and attempted coercion, and found guilty last week. He was sentenced to 20 days in jail and fined $500.

Wait, what? A camera was used in a police department holding cell? What the hell will those sneaky cops think of next?

Seriously 20 days and $500 bucks for something that could have ended someone's career and cost the city millions if not for the camera.

1) *Cop sees him bloodied, knows he hit himself on camera to try to coerce and start bullshit*

2) *cop turns off video camera*

3) *cops beats the ever loving #$#$ out of suspect*

4) *cop turns camera back on, waits for inevitable complaint*

5) *Investigators review video, ask why camera was turned off*

6) *Cop explains he heard him hit himself, then tried to review the video but accidentally shut off the camera, meanwhile guy continued to kick his own ass*
