A man who was pulled over by police during a traffic stop attempted to get out of the situation by using a Monopoly card.
The unnamed man whipped out a 'get out of jail free' card and handed it to officers, which didn't achieve what he had hoped. After the Chisago County Sheriff's Office flagged the unnamed driver down, they were handed the card - and thankfully saw the funny side.
In a Facebook post, officers commended him for his 'effort and humour' though confirmed it was not a valid document. What followed the interaction is unclear, reports the Daily Star.

An official statement from Chisago Police read: "Last night a deputy did a traffic stop, and the driver handed him this card, along with his driver’s license. Unfortunately the state of Minnesota does not recognize this as a valid document.
"Points for the effort and humour though!"
The card, which showed Mr. Monopoly himself getting the boot from jail, read: "This card may be kept until needed, or sold. Get out of jail free."
But a chance card did not make for legal documentation during a chance encounter with police, with Facebook users overjoyed by the attempt. One user wrote: "I wonder how long they have been holding on to this card."
Another joked that the driver may have had more Monopoly pieces on him, wondering whether the driver 'had a wallet full of Monopoly money to pay for their fines.'
A third posted a photo of the infamous Monopoly car model and questioned whether it was in fact the Monopoly man himself who had been pulled over driving the infamous silver playing piece. Officers did not declare whether a charge or warning had been given, nor did they reveal whether the driver had passed go to collect his $200.
