Authorities allege Jerith Sims tried to carjack a cop.

Welcome to criminal university, kids.

First lesson:

While plying your trade, don't target police. We can't emphasize this enough. In fact, while committing crimes, you really want to be as far away from cops as possible. Because they have radios and lots of friends and will ultimately thwart you.

We have an example we'll study today. We'll just call these three suspects ...

... utter retards (allegedly).

Police in West Covina say the trio of teenagers tried to carjack an plainclothes cop as he drove an unmarked car on assignment yesterday afternoon.

Suspect Ronue Franklin.

Really guys? Didn't notice the big guy with the handlebar mustache in the flannel shirt speaking into his sleeve in a -- oh, let's take a wild guess -- bland, late-model American car. Really?

Cops say four suspects were on foot and throwing gang signs at passing motorists on West Covina Parkway near Toluca Avenue when the officer pulled up and one of them called out a gang, reached for his waistband and told the cop to get out.

Guys, as much as the police car is the best handling vehicle you can never really get it cleaned (or take it to the paint shop) and you're just inviting more stars and the the army. Best chance is to wait for him to get out to investigate a situation and jack the car. You'll be out of harms way in no time.

Or carjack a parked one.
