Imagine all that effort put into catching someone smashing a stupid camera, it could’ve been used on a pedophile or something.

You’ve been warned, they’re high on the lookout for Flock vandals now.

    How can they charge him with destroying computer equipment if the camera was fake?

    Bullshit charge

    Does he have a bail fund?

      Meyer faces charges of grand theft, criminal mischief causing at least $1,000 in damage and damaging computer or electronic equipment.

      Furthermore, nothing was stolen, so charging him with both grand theft and criminal mischief seems like a duplication of charges. Also, a fake camera is surely not worth over $1,000.

          And also trying to pressure him into a plea deal by offering to drop some of these bogus charges if he pleads guilty to one or two real charges. (They really don’t want this one going up in front of a jury trial.)
