19-Year-Old From Wisconsin Arrested & Convicted For "Planking Spree" after Posting Pictures Of Himself Lying Across A Police Car On Facebook!

"A Manitowoc teen says police overreacted after
citing him for "planking" on a squad car.

19-year-old Alexander Hart says he was just having
fun. Police and a judge thought otherwise. He was
convicted of disorderly conduct this week and
fined $329.

Planking is a nationwide craze that involves
posting photos or videos of oneself lying face-
down, straight as a board, in unusual places.

A police captain told the Manitowoc Herald Times
Reporter back in September that people can plank
on their own parked vehicles but they shouldn't be
doing it on other people's property. Capt. Scott
Luchterhand says it "goes without saying" that
officers don't want people planking on squad cars.

A detective says Hart also planked near the
courthouse, at a Walmart checkout counter and on a
memorial to fallen officers. " - 6 News
