VIDEO: Mountain View Police Catch Darth Vader Texting While Driving

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- In any galaxy, it's illegal to use your phone while you drive.

Darth Vader learned this the hard way from Mountain View Police on April 17 after a motorcycle officer spotted him texting while driving through the city in a white Hummer.

And although the Dark Lord tried to use Jedi mind tricks to get his way out of a ticket, things didn't turn out so well, much to the chagrin of the Storm Trooper riding shotgun with Vader.

This isn't the first time the MVPD has had a run-in with Vader. On New Year's Eve 2016, he was pulled over for possible DUI. That didn't turn out so well for him, either.
