However, police admitted that these “random citizens” are people who have outstanding warrants and they will be arrested if they show up at the station.

“Since it is so rare, we can only allow a limited number of people in the building to capture it. We put the mainframe computer in the basement to work and came up with a list of random citizens eligible for this rare opportunity. If your name is on the list below, you are one of the lucky folks invited to come to the Police Department for the capture!
