Caught out by a mouthy hyperactive midget.
About 2 years ago there was a small kid who was a known handful; he was known in his primary school to suffer from ADHD. This little ticking timebomb of a nipper (age approximately 8 years old at the time) was walking past some shops near his house on a nice Saturday morning, minding his own business when he happens to notice two rather largely built fellows sitting in a car which was parked outside the shop. Neither of them were moving, just staring at a house across the road.

Hyper-midget is obviously wondering what they were doing, so the least he could do was to leg it over to the car and start hammering on their window.

Apparently it went like this;

GUY 2 - "Piss off, go away."
HYPER - "What you doin? What's going on?"
GUY 1 - "Go away mate, please."
HYPER - "Why?"
GUY 2 - "Because."
HYPER - "WHY?"
Guy 1 - "Because we're fucking police officers kid, fuck off before we nick you."

Awkward pause. Apparently Hyper took a step back, smug as fuck......then suddenly starts screaming "POLICE, POLICE, THEY'RE HERE, THEY ARE HIDING HERE, POLICE!!!" while running around the car and pointing at them. The two cops were completely dumbstruck as this ferret is bouncing around the car screaming and pointing, while the house across the road suddenly has twitchy curtains and nervous people flushing drugs away like fuck.

The coppers finally hop out of the car and chase this kid straight back into his house, then further into his own living room and played holy fuck to his parents about how he just jeopardised a £30k sting operation which they had been building up for the last months. Oh dear :p

Probably shouldn't have told some nosy little sod that they were police officers then...
Now, I'm not a police officer, but rule one of a stake out would presumably be to keep a low profile from everyone, not just the people you're staking out.

Especially if that someone was a little tyke sticking his nose in.

To be honest, even though the cops were wrong
The kid does sound like an absolute little shit that needs a good shooting, though.
