Soccer Star Mario Balotelli Just Doesn't Have Luck With Maseratis

Some folks have all the luck in the world while some would say "If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all."

Mario Balotelli would fall into the later category.

The Italian soccer star hasn't had the best of luck when it comes to cars, specifically his Maseratis. His previous Maser was damaged by a group with crowbars and also some "jokers" played the age-old prank of leaving dead fish in the car.

BRU-tal!

Balotelli's latest run-in with the law involved the car being confiscated and nearly taken away, but then Balotelli produced the right documentation.

SOCCER ace Mario Balotelli was stunned yesterday when his £100,000 Maserati was seized by cops — just a day after he bought it.

As is often the case with UK police they can be total morons.

How can you pull someone over "On Suspicion of Speeding" ?

If they have no proof he was speeding then the stop is void.

If i were him i would get the top Law Firm in Manchester to file a suit against the police officers for Racial- Discrimination and Harrasment

For those who do not know:

Mario Balloteli is a VERY WELL KNOWN footballer who plays for a team in the city he was pulled over in, there is absolutely no chance that the officers did not know who he was, the attempt to confiscate his vehicle for lack of documentation is another clue they were just out to harass him, in the UK you have no legal obligation to hold ANY DOCUMENTATION of any kind as all relevant info are stored online on central databases that can be verified by any Law Enforcement Agent.

Also for non-UK license holders there is a "Producer" issued which obliges the driver to produce certain documents to a police station of your choice within 7 days of issuance.

David Beckham is the closest thing there is to one in the USA.

Plays for the LA Galaxy and he and his wife are part of the A-List circuit over there.

Mario is New to the UK {2nd Season I think} Plays for one of the wealthiest Football Teams in the world and is arguably one of the best Strikers in the League. He earns approx $203,298:00 USD per week hence why there is no way the cops thought the vehicle could have been stolen.
