The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Fuck the police.
Generally I would agree. but after reading the first couple paragraphs, I think I gotta back the police up on this one.
stealing a car is bad, but the majority of the process is insurance companies anyway, the police are a minor part of the bureaucratic process.
I'm not a big fan of the fentanyl either
I dont really care all that much either way for people who want to do drugs. They should be legalized, licensed and produced safely, with addict treatment going to medical and mental health services, not the police.
The main concern with fentanyl is that people who want to do drugs probably don't want to do fentanyl; they're probably seeking heroin, and getting fentanyl that they've been lied to about.
But the solution to that isn't to continue the failed policy of prohibition, it's legalization and regulation, so fuck the dealers who lie about what they're selling, but also yes, fuck the police.
Inconceivable
You keep using that word...
The true crime was the lie
Nope. The picture shows the bag contained other illegal items, therefore it wasn't full of drugs.
That's just more lies
Indeed, the other items were in the car, along with the bag.
When officers... searched the car and discovered cash, a loaded revolver, scales — and a bag that had “Definitely not a bag full of drugs” printed on it, with drugs inside...
...but the bag said!
At least if you're gunna do crime, have a sense of humor about it
Damm I really thought that would work Ill through away my bag that says the same thing.
"I have a great idea"
Nobody asking if the bag belonged to Baggenstos? Nominative determinism win?
All warfare is deception
I think the only deception in this case was self-inflicted.
