CONCORD, N.C. A man says he was arrested Tuesday for failing to return a VHS tape that he rented in 2002.
James Meyers said he was driving his daughter to school when a police officer pulled him over for a defective tail light. The officer ran Meyers' driver's license then asked him to step out of the vehicle.
He said the officer told him there was a warrant out for his arrest from 2002 because Meyers had rented the movie "Freddy Got Fingered" and had not returned it.

If it would have been Betamax he would have been killed by Sony’s ninjas long ago.

I know of at least 18 video rental places in our town when we moved here in 2002. There is exactly one of them still open.
I am not counting the 17 or so Red Box kiosks scattered about town.

At least flogging. I'm not taking any chances. I have a DVD rewinder.

Wow, still renting VHS in 2002.
DVD players had been around for several years and were cheap as dirt by then.

I still have someones 8 track of Journeys first album.Is that the one with the green background and the band members floating around on the cover? An 8-track of that might be worth something on eBay.

Arrested for not returning a VHS tape rented in 2002 -- 14 years ago? Are people that crazy in North Carolina.
My questions are: Who is making the complaint?
Who is accusing the person arrested?
This guy is going to walk.
The entire arrest is ridiculous.

I guess he decided to keep the movie. You know, “I’m not giving you the satisfaction.”

The chapter 11 judge has been waiting for this to be turned in so he can finally close out the case.

That was checked out at the time by one “B. Obama”.
