Watch This Overly Excited New Zealand Man's Desperate Ploy To Get Arrested On TV

"I've got no meth on me, but if I hold a bag of sugar up would you put me on TV?"

We've all had nights out when we do something we instantly regret and wake up the next morning thankful to find that there's no video evidence of it.

And then there's this guy.

The over-excited Kiwi can be heard screaming with excitement when he finds out New Zealand's popular reality TV show 'Police Ten 7' is filming nearby.

"What do you reckon? Should I pull a bag of meth out?" he can be heard calling out.

"I've got no meth on me but if I hold a bag of sugar up would you put me on TV?"

Desperate to get arrested on what we can only assume is his favourite show, he asks one of the police officers "can you arrest me? What if I hit you? No it's a bad idea!"

The cops take it all in good humour though, telling him they can't (and won't) arrest him.
