Two state constables in Pennsylvania were tired of running into (literally) closed doors when following up on arrest warrants, so they took a page straight out of the textbook for Law Enforcement 101.
↵They exploited the suspects' love of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
↵Constables Hubie Coleman and Albert "Rocky" Younkin (don't those just sound like constable names?) swapped their regular car, which looked a little too much like a police cruiser, for a bright yellow van with a giant Steelers logo on the side. For the sake of painting a picture, let's just imagine it looked somewhere between this and this on the Awesome Spectrum™.

Here's Coleman on their ploy, a maneuver they cleverly dubbed the "Fayette County Constable End Around":
↵↵↵It's been working great. We sit outside and lay on the horn, and they come out. They're interested and curious.
↵
Coleman and Youkin even play the Steelers fight song as they drive suspects to the district judge's office.
↵Well played, gentlemen. As far as I know, there's no warrant out for my arrest, but I'd like to think that if there was, I'd be able to appreciate getting duped like this.
