Koohii stories:

1) [bokuzukuri] 14-1-2006(423): Think police roadblocks. They act like road sieves, letting good people through but apprehending criminals.

2) [Istvan] 6-7-2007(25): In Space Balls, they were combing the desert in order to apprehend Lone Star. Picture Dark Helmet saying "Combing the desert failed, we must now sieve the road!".

3) [Koos83] 21-12-2009(11): The police have a new way of apprehending criminals; a big sieve in the road. Innocent people pass over, but people with a guilty conscience fall through.

4) [ziggr] 27-5-2007(11): Corrupt cops "apprehend" a suspect by shooting him in the middle of the road, shooting him until he's so full of holes he's leaking like a sieve. No wonder the general population is so apprehensive when the police roam the streets: they don't want to be shot up like a sieve on the road. —— Avoid confusing arrest (#654 拘) and apprehend (#1160 逮).

5) [scarby+dancer] 29-5-2013(5): When they were finally APPREHENDED, Bonnie & Clyde were shot so many times they were leaking like a SIEVE on that desolate Louisiana ROAD… ["So numerous were the bullet holes that undertaker C. F. 'Boots' Bailey would have difficulty embalming the bodies because they wouldn't contain the embalming fluid." WIKI] … [ 逮捕 【たいほ】 arrest, APPREHENSION, capture versus 勾引 ; 拘引 【こういん】 arrest, custody, seduction, abduction].
