        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.

          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.

            yup, you can never “boy who cried wolf” yourself about possible and realistic emergency situations. Sure it sounds like a joke - but it either:

            is, nobody does anything, and nothing happens

            is, gets taken seriously, and some time and resources are wasted

            or

            isn’t, gets taken seriously, and a disaster is avoided

            isn’t, nobody does anything, and people end up dead or injured

            a small waste of time and resources is always a better outcome than possible death and injury

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

          Same as running into a movie theater and screaming fire.

        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!

          Anyone could have created the account for the joke. Police shouldn’t take social media accounts seriously
