    Holy shit it’s real: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1480786787417151

    Also, besides the ridiculous case: It’s embarrassing, that a police department would post a photo of a screen instead of a screenshot or an extracted frame from the original video.

    • “Hmm we have low resolution surveillance footage, how do we present this to the public?”
    • “I know bro, let’s introduce sampling noise by taking a photo of the screen at an angle.”
    • “Your investigative genius baffles me, bro!”

    We all know the rules. Cops do not need to be involved in this, as no law was broken. The only reason they are, is because of the camera. Surveillance state at work “protecting” us.

    If you find money on the ground, no wallet, there’s no way to know who it belongs to, so it’s yours.

    If you find a wallet on the ground, and it has an ID of any sort in it, then you should turn it in. Taking money out of the wallet is wrong, because it could potentially be returned to the owner.

      I’ve found 2 wallets in my life with about $2k combined in them you think I gave that shit back? You’re goddamn right I did.

    Okay let me get this straight…

    This dude finds $30, and the police is on him like he broke into Fort Knox.

    I get my £1500 phone snatched from my hands by an asswipe riding a motorbike, I have the license plate etc., and best they can do is half-ass the report not once, not twice, but three times so I have to come by for a fourth time just so I can pay my insurance £250 to get my phone replaced?

      The way it’s worded, we can’t exclude that the dude dropped his own 30, and because the cash touched the floor for over 5 seconds, it became stolen cash once he picked it up.

      But you have to understand, this system allows us to oppress people even poorer than you, much more easily.

      I’m sure you feel a little silly, now that you know.

    It just occurred to me that the cops posted this to justify the camera.

    “See, cameras are good! We’re the good guys!”

    This is so poorly worded. It really reads like someone dropped their money and then picked it back up.

    Took me forever to realize it was a cop who dropped the money.

    If they don’t honour the age old law of “finders/keepers” then we’re all in a heap of trouble.

    What’s the point in having poor people if they are allowed to have money?

    They need to catch this repugnant criminal ASAP. It’s only a matter of time before a $30-lifter starts selling children’s organs to the Vietnamese mob.
