      “The pd reportedly found 39 lbs of drugs at the premises, which took several trips to transport as the 35 lbs were found to be very volitile. So volitile, in fact, that by the time it had reached the locker, the 20lbs had decayed into 5lbs through natural breakdown. The department is looking to press charges for the 1lb they found, but it is unlikely that the defendants will see any prison time as a gram is not normally considered a serious crime.”

    Don’t end it Anon, you just struck it rich my dude. The police tear apart your parents home looking for a nonexistent meth lab run by a nonexistent student and a photo as evidence which is a top search result?

    The police union basically just handed your family 10 Million Dollars after a brief lawsuit against the city.

      Man, that might happen for a high profile family/person. For average people in many places in the US, they’ll be lucky if the police even pay out to cover damages to property, nevermind anything else.

      Edit: and yes, I know this is just a green text and not a real story.

          Very easy to tell whether they will get killed during the raid, simply follow the Standard Police Academy Appropriate Force chart:

        There are tons of examples counter to your claim.

        A lot of the settlements probably don’t even get reported on at the request of the city in question.

          While true, your hypothesis doesn’t take into consideration how often the police fuck up.

      To be fair. Joking about committing a crime is not illegal.

          there’s a difference, one is causing fear and panic.

          Same as running into a movie theater and screaming fire.

          In that context the specific act of joking is a crime because it can cause huge panic to happen.

          I would expand by saying that a joke about a realistic and immediate threat is not a joke at all and requires serious response to guarantee the safety of others.

          A student advertising ok social media that they are looking for volunteers in a meth schoolproject is not a direct threat to others. Neither is it a believable scenario.

        Pretty sure it doesn’t have to be illegal for the cops to turn your life inside out.

          Absolutely, but i would call that the problematic behavior rather than the student committing a edgy joke.

              A wellfare check by a social worker maybe. Can be at school if they fear the home to be dangerous.

              Combined with some extra patrol in the street because they HAVE to take things seriously.

              The potential damage such a raid can do (shoot your pet, ptsd) cannot be worth such reckless behavior.

              On a side note, i actually expect this post is fake.

        Very much depending on where you are. Pretending to commit or to have committed a felony (idk the minutiae of translations; Straftat in German) is one in itself over here. Fake it and instantly make it, yay!
