Man Sues Self For Getting Arrested Let's finish this one up with what might be the most innovative lawsuit idea we've ever heard. In 1993, Robert Lee Brock got loaded on booze and broke into a house. Cops picked him up for breaking and entering and he unsurprisingly went to jail. A few years later, Brock got the brilliant idea to claim that he "violated his own religious and civil rights" by getting himself drunk, and he wanted to sue himself for $5 million dollars. Since he had no money, however, the judgment would have to be paid by the State of Virginia. Needless to say, this one didn't go over well when it got to court.
