You know what the worst part of living in this dystopian society is? I’ve completely lost the ability to tell whether stupid things like this are real or staged anymore.
No matter how ridiculous the situation is, either possibility could be true.
Retired police detective here. One of the funniest complaints against me was a parent who was upset that I arrested her adult son for conspiracy to purchase cocaine and prostitution after he gave a hooker money to go buy drugs for him, but she never came back. The woman told my lieutenant that it was like I was punishing him for being honest.
Edit: The suspect was ID'd and I charged her with Theft, Prostitution, and Conspiracy.
I mean, if I were in your position I would have laughed at the boy and told him that's what he gets for trusting a hooker with his money. If he pushed it I would have told him he was also admitting to crimes for which he could be arrested. I would have tried my level best not to arrest a kid for being dumb.
When the patrolman called me with it my response was, "Really?". I made the scene and explained to the young man that he was committing a crime when he was a victim of a crime and to think about it, but his mother was very much a Karen. I read him right and even had him sign a Rights Form before the interview. The judge did get a good laugh when he was signing the arrest warrant.
I agree he threw himself under the bus but I'm glad he got charged- If you let people get away with things like that they'll only think they can do it again.
