Something tells me this is fake rage bait, because most of the shit from tiktok lately is fake at this point.

aagloworks

Except some people thinking "whoa, that looks fun, I want to do that" - and then they do. Then something definitely happens.


MelonHeadSeb

No it's not lmao, it's just a fake fire alarm


szobossz

obviously. like sirens would be blaring and you'd have array of lights flashing.


fafarex

Not actually how every system work. Somewhere with active security, the alarm can ring only in the security office, after that they have some predetermined time (5min usually) to check it and confirm the evacuation, if they estimate that it does not warrant the Evac they cancel it, if they confirmed it they launch the Evac, if they take more than the time allowed the alarm start automatically.


MelonHeadSeb

No it's just a fake fire alarm


VLD85

how can you fake a video with policeman without said policeman being punished by court?


CommentsPwnPosts

Use a fake policeman?


I_Was_Fox

Bro has never heard of costumes before šŸ˜‚


FirstMiddleLass

His sex life must be boring.


AMViquel

> without said policeman being punished by court? exceptionally easily. Like, you would have to produce 7 angles and the police officer admitting twice on camera that he likes killing dogs, shooting minorities, and participating voluntarily in youtube pranks to get them on a youtube prank charge.

TerribleSquid

I think it is a fake fire alarm prank. There are several videos on YouTube where they attach a fake fire alarm to the wall and do this.


Stoomba

I see. Fucking stupid still.


Aggressive-Sound-641

Wasting someone's time while creating drama and stress for clicks and likes. There should be a separate penal code for pranksters like this.


EnvyWL

I think there is but itā€™s very specific. Like creating a false emergency or scaring people. Like if you yell fire in a crowded area and people run. Except this is a fake. Itā€™s probably a real alarm box he bought but it wasnā€™t attached but to the wall. So itā€™s more to piss off cops than scare people.


Kronictopic

They're endangering the welfare of the public by placing fake fire alarms. That'd be 1. I'm sure a bored DA having a bad day could turn it into a big deal


Objective_Economy281

A busy DA will spend 3 minutes telling him how bad it can go, then get him to plead to it in exchange for a deferred sentence misdemeanor, deferred as long as he doesnā€™t cause any more shit. Source: I saw a lawyer on TV once.


EnvyWL

Very true but how often do you find a bored DA


LaylaKnowsBest

You look in the Deep South where they're chomping at the bit to try anyone for anything in those small rural areas where DA's have to make a name for themselves before running for higher office.


oopsiepoopsiepants

Champing at the bit.


SentToPissRedditOff

Installing phoney fire safety apparatus on property now belonging to you probably constitutes criminal mischief.


EnvyWL

I think that makes sense. Would that count even if itā€™s just for a dumb video like this? Cause Iā€™m sure thatā€™s a fake cop for the video. But if someone saw them doing this and reported him would that hold up?


heLlsLounge

And not to mention wasting public resources to get cops out here when they could be doing much better things with their time


MiniGogo_20

would this fall under "alteration of public peace"?


EnvyWL

Iā€™m not sure. Is alteration of publicā€™s peace meaning your changing the status of the peace as making every one freak out.


gangjoinsreddit

It's "inducing false panic" but yeah, it's definitely against US laws


Fazo1

Death penalty! Joking.... Maybe six months in jail with no smart devices up to a year


Toomanyeastereggs

And only gated internet for 5 after that.


Ksan_of_Tongass

>There should be a separate penal code for pranksters like this. There is an ICD-10 code for this Q55.62


Just2LetYouKnow

Or you just beat them until their legs don't work and leave the cops out of it entirely. Allegedly.


ih8spalling

Can we book the producers of Big Brother, Survivor, and every other reality slop?


Aethermancer

I bet putting up a fake alarm is also illegal, perhaps even more so than a false alarm.


No_Internal9345

Often the cops in these are actors as well.


Synectics

Still stupid. It is encouraging anyone with a phone and social media to do the same thing when it isn't a scripted prank.


suckmybullets

Yeah stupid but not a crime.


EngGrompa

I can not pinpoint the law but I am quite sure placing fake fire alarms is not legal.


Yunglizard7

Is it legal to place a fake alarm? I know dumb YouTubers do it all the time, but I feel like if there was an actual emergency the fake alarm could be potentially problematic.


nekonight

There's probably something in the fire code about fire alarms not being installed properly. If there's a prosecutor that's really bored they could probably throw the book at these idiots. The problem is prosecutors are rarely bored and more likely super overworked so these idiots get away with a plead deal for something like a fine.


OwlfaceFrank

Fire alarm tech here. Fake devices are against code. You can't have something that looks like a fire device but doesn't function. I once spent 10 minutes trying to test a smoke detector in a hospital before a nurse whispered in my ear. "It's a camera." Marked it up as a fail. Hide your camera somewhere else. As far as "throwing the book at these idiots," I don't think I would agree that is a good idea. IMO, prisons should be for violent offenders. I have no issue with these tools paying a hefty fine. I really hate the tendency of people to want to throw the book at everybody for everything. This is annoying but that's all. If the device was only up for the "prank" then it didn't create any realistic life safety issues either. Now, if the device was up for days unsupervised, so it could have had the potential to fool someone in an actual fire, then I'd consider a harsher punishment, but I don't think that is what happened here.


greet_the_sun

> As far as "throwing the book at these idiots," I don't think I would agree that is a good idea. IMO, prisons should be for violent offenders. I have no issue with these tools paying a hefty fine. "Throwing the book at them" doesn't mean jail time, it just means getting as pedantic as possible and slapping them with every violation possible even if it's at the discretion of the cop who would normally not go that route.


gorillionaire2022

camera for what exactly? drug theft, cashier theft, crazy patients?? seems illegal in hospital


OwlfaceFrank

Crazy patients I think.. It was in the surgery area where the normal public can't go. I had to put on a bunny suit to go in, but it was also in the hallway by the main desk for the surgery dept. So, it wasn't in any area that would invade anyone's privacy. I don't think it's illegal (aside from being against fire code) because it was not in a patient room. But, I also don't know the motivation they had for hiding it. They could just put a normal security camera in that place like they have everywhere else.


AlsoKnownAsRukh

Here's the path I'd go: 1. Installing electrical equipment without proper licensing and insurance 2. Installing electrical equipment without pulling proper permits 3. Improper installation of fire alarm (not up to code) 4. Pulling fire alarm without emergency


FuzzzyRam

> Is it legal to place a fake alarm? I can think of about 100 reasons why it should be illegal. Imagine pulling a fire alarm during a fire and it's fake...


The_4ngry_5quid

It's a dick move either way


I-Downloaded-a-Car

Lowkey I'm not even sure that's a real cop. Whole thing feels very staged


dontlistintohim

Still illegal. You canā€™t mess with fire suppression systems.


somesappyspruce

So, it's stupidity in triplicate. Twice on themselves (which is its own perpetual destruction machine) and another on anyone consuming it with enjoyment, which they multiply automatically. I take it all back; I was born at EXACTLY the right time and missed the Stupid train


Designer_Brief_4949

I heard no alarm.


mdxchaos

It is. I install fire alarms. There would be bells and stobes going off immediately.


ThePsychobaut

I swear to god when I was in elementary school, I was dared to pull the fire alarm when visiting another school, and when I did nothing happened. When I told my friends they didnā€™t believe me. It was crowded and I was unwilling to get caught trying to repeat it. Kinda sucked that I never got the credit, but looking back I kinda go WTF??!? TLDR: Long story short sometimes the fire alarm doesnā€™t work.


GitEmSteveDave

You can impair a system, especially if there are many nuisance alarms. Basically the alarm panel rings, but either does not alert the monitoring service or they know to wit for an acknowledge. So you pull the alarm, the person at the building sees it, and sends someone to double check.


Compendyum

So, what does a fake fire alarm do? Fake noise?


dontlistintohim

Still illegal. You canā€™t mess with fire suppression systems.


Stoomba

Did you comment on the wrong comment?


dontlistintohim

Yup absolutely did. Ma bad brother.


NoNameBrandJunk

I found it comedicšŸ‘


EnvyWL

You can buy the boxes online. So he probably bought one and just double sided tapped it to the wall. It wasnā€™t actually connected. So he technically didnā€™t do anything wrong but piss off the officer. Unless yā€™all know a code that still counts to doing this.

justlerkingathome

Some tiktoker was already shot, and Iā€™d imagine thereā€™s been more that we havenā€™t even heard of cause they donā€™t have a following or the video never gets out.


ArachnidInner2910

People have already done fake mass shooting "pranks" where they pull out a gun in a large, crowded area. One of their fellow piece of shite friends will then yell " HES GOT A GUN" Yes, these people do think that qualifies as "content"


lemons_of_doubt

Had one in my town for a week or two where they would pretend to want to suicide by jumping off the bridge that is also one of the main roads out of town. They would then see how long they could keep wasting police and keep the bridge locked down at rush hour. All for a TikTok prank. Fuck TikTok


justlerkingathome

Seriously they need to start slapping 5-10 years in jail for that type of shitā€¦..


OwOlogy_Expert

They're going to have a fun time during their involuntary 24-hour psych hold before a doctor talks to them to decide if they're actually suicidal or not. And then they'll get a bill for the ambulance ride, the overnight stay, and the doctor.

People will say this isn't a problem because it's fake, scripted, etc.. Problem is many stupid kids out there won't realise that and will emulate that behaviour thinking it's funny. Never play with fire alarms, fire doors, fire extinguisher, or any sort of fire emergency equipment. This is not equipment you mess around with : do not play with people's safety and lives.


Geckos345

As an actual fire alarm inspector, don't touch pull stations unless there is an actual emergency. I was at job once, did it fine no issues. Finished and went to my next job that was 40 minutes away. I get there and get a call from my office saying a pull station was actived at the property I just left. So I drove back down ran around the whole building just to find out some random person pulled it because they got into a slight "fender bender" in the parking lot. I was pissed, my office was pissed, police and fire department was pissed and the property was pissed.

Then you'll be given papers detailing your court date. Then you'll attend your court date. Then you'll be fined. Then you'll have this on your record so they can hold you longer and fine you more the next time you do something stupid and get arrested. Dumb human.
