Here's a real genius here: Woman arrested after falling for ebola tainted meth hoax by police department
Now you know why they use the terms "Dumb" and "Blond" in the same sentence a lot of times.........................
It would be interesting to see if others turned in their dope for testing. All that was mentioned was that one gal.
it is funny and scary at the same time. if you or I would of posted something containing Ebola, we would of been arrested for inducing panic.
I tend to agree with this commenter: I feel conflicted about this situation, honestly. On one hand, I’m happy to see this Police Department using humour to connect with the people they serve. Humour is always welcome in my books. However, I feel that this may have just tipped over the line into “mean” territory. As police, you represent the authority of the law and people must trust in you and your actions. Though you would indeed have to be quite gullible to fall for such a claim, there are gullible people out there. This woman was concerned about her health (yes I know she consumes methamphetamine, but regardless, she had some concern about her health) and trusted this department enough to come and seek assistance. In making this “joke” and laying possession charges on this woman, the department has taken advantage of her trust in a seemingly predatory manner. This is all beside the fact that people who are using drugs can experience hypochondriasis, most notably in users of stimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine. So again I will state that I’m split on this issue. I find the original post hilarious, but can’t help but feel for the woman who trusted the words of Granite Shoals’ finest and was led into incriminating herself because of it. How do you feel about this?
So the police are willing to shoot their own reputations for honesty in the foot in order to make an easy arrest or two? I don't think they'll be laughing so hard next time they have to warn the community about a real problem, and people hesitate to believe them because it might be some kind of trap. What a stupid idea.
The PD around here have on several occasions sent letters to people with outstanding warrants, and told them they won something and to come to XXX address and claim it. They get a very big turn out and arrest many offenders.
