His friend’s stupid comment led to him being arrested at a bus stop and now he refuses to pay his $400 debt

Phew. This guy really made his friend dirty and went to the Internet to check. For the sake of his story, we’ll call him Bill. So, Bill and his friend James are running errands late at night. Since Bill no longer drives, he relies on friends, so James was driving.

James drove over a stop sign and a red and blue light came on behind them. So they stopped. James rolled both windows down because he didn’t know which side the policeman would come from.

Bill explained that the cops had a spotlight, so it was “light as day”. The policeman approaches James’ window and takes a cold-blooded view of the infraction. He asked if there was a reason James didn’t stop at the stop sign. And James got his rights and registration.

Bill explained that they sat there for ten minutes before the policeman returned with a warning. James thanked him and the policeman said “Good night” to him before leaving. So here’s where it gets ugly.

Nobody speaks. Everyone is walking. But Bill couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

Bill laughed and said, “It’s a good thing they don’t know about your warrants, huh?” The cop’s partner, whom Bill didn’t see, was standing by his rear side window and heard it. So he asks for James’ driver’s license again and calls his partner back.

They asked for Bill’s ID, but he told them he didn’t have one and showed them his credit card and Costco membership card. They then pulled them out of the car and searched them before arresting James on his warrant.

Also, they asked Bill if he could drive James’ car home. However, he refused because he did not have a driver’s license. So, in addition to arresting his friend, the car was confiscated and Bill called an Uber and drove home.

There, he called James’ girlfriend to inform her of the incident via voice mail. The next day, he called and learned that James could not post bail and was still in jail. His girlfriend informed him that James believed that the $400 debt he owed Bill could be forgiven given that “he locked him up” and confiscated his car.

Bill doesn’t think he should forfeit the $400 James owes him because the two events are not mutually exclusive. He asked on the Internet if he was a bad guy; here’s how they responded.

Don’t joke with the cops

One man explained that they don’t joke with cops. Insisting, if “you keep your yapping closed, there’s no problem.” He suggested that $400 would likely cover towing and lost wages before another objected. The towing alone cost $150. Someone whose mom owed money to a towing company confirmed that $400 went into towing and impounding the car and didn’t cover his lost paycheck.

It is not your fault

The second user noted that Bill did not delay James. This made his “warrant”. They went on to say that they couldn’t believe how many people in the thread didn’t admit it was James’ fault. In addition, he was overwhelmed by the number of people who hinted: “Witnesses, the police and people who refuse to be accomplices are to blame for the arrest and punishment of the crime.”

I don’t believe this story

Many people in the thread agreed that the story sounded fishy. One explained, “That’s not how it works. Every cop stops someone, they run a license through the system. They’d know he had a warrant if they checked your friend’s license.

You are the Snitch

Finally, someone explained that the warrants were not Bill’s fault. But his message to Bill reads: “It doesn’t matter if you paid him for the ride or if he followed the sign. YOU snitched. YOU made him lock up, which means YOU called bail. YOU didn’t bother to call the girl to come pick up the car, so YOU ​​had her towed.”

What do you think of the thread’s reaction to the situation? Should Bill forfeit the $400 debt, or is James responsible, despite Bill’s talkativeness? This article is inspired by the Internet and does not necessarily represent the views or opinions of Wealthy Nickel.
