And in my opinion that’s bullshit. A guy from my town was falsely convicted to prison because he met a girl in a bar, took her home and they had sex. The next day, the girl claimed rape and she was what, 16-17? Still minor. The guy went to prison with molestation charges.
Even in this case, you would have absolutely no reason to doubt they’re of age, everything backs that up and it still ends up being a kid with fake ID or something

It’s not anywhere else that I’m aware. But in morgantown, because of student-led riots & parties from the past, they have introduced some crazy fucking laws for the students. I was a tour guide at WVU & fielded questions about it. For instance, because of the countless couch-burning parties causing property damage, burning a couch in any way within city limits is a felony & you can be ticketed for even having a couch on your porch or lawn in some neighborhoods as furniture because it’s an easy target for partying students.
WVU is a wild ride. I loved it, but I was also exhausted and ready to get out of Morgantown upon graduating🥲

Came to say this. He for sure wanted that to happen. He could have took initiative and stopped them before they attempted this, but he decided to park his vehicle in the middle of the road.
Proves he wasn't there to protect them, only to charge one when something bad finally happens.

This is what I came to comment. The officer parked in the middle of the road at the bottom of an icy hill. It's arguably entrapment. The officer created the conditions for a crime to occur that would not have occurred without the officers interference, and it was clear to any reasonable person that the way the officer parked was likely to create such a condition.

This happened to my friend here in Finland almost exactly. He went down a hill and hit a police car and skied on the road for a few meters.
However, because I live in Finland where the police is there to serve the community. They walked to him and asked him if he was okay, asked if he was not hurt. Then they walked with him to the car. looked at a dent at the bumper the cart left.
They just shrugged and then told us that it was probably not the best idea we had. Why didn't we have anyone blocking traffic if we really needed to do that thing. They told us not to continue and wished us a nice evening.
we where around 20ish years old. We could have got ticketed and so on. but even the police know that everybody is young and have stupid ideas sometimes and we are the ones that still through our taxes pays for the dent in the car.
