This dude finds $30, and the police is on him like he broke into Fort Knox.
I get my £1500 phone snatched from my hands by an asswipe riding a motorbike, I have the license plate etc., and best they can do is half-ass the report not once, not twice, but three times so I have to come by for a fourth time just so I can pay my insurance £250 to get my phone replaced?
The way it’s worded, we can’t exclude that the dude dropped his own 30, and because the cash touched the floor for over 5 seconds, it became stolen cash once he picked it up.
We all know the rules. Cops do not need to be involved in this, as no law was broken. The only reason they are, is because of the camera. Surveillance state at work "protecting" us.
If you find money on the ground, no wallet, there's no way to know who it belongs to, so it's yours.
If you find a wallet on the ground, and it has an ID of any sort in it, then you should turn it in. Taking money out of the wallet is wrong, because it could potentially be returned to the owner.
Also, besides the ridiculous case: It's embarrassing, that a police department would post a photo of a screen instead of a screenshot or an extracted frame from the original video.
"Hmm we have low resolution surveillance footage, how do we present this to the public?"
"I know bro, let's introduce sampling noise by taking a photo of the screen at an angle."
They need to catch this repugnant criminal ASAP. It's only a matter of time before a $30-lifter starts selling children's organs to the Vietnamese mob.
My wife had her purse stolen by pickpockets. Luckily they only took the cash and dumped the purse. It was found and turned in to the lost and found office, so we got it back. So yeah, nice, but fuck the asshole that stole it in the first place.

Okay let me get this straight...

The person who dropped the money was a cop. I bet you $30.
Exactly what i thought when I read the post.
Edit: the first line i mean, i am not funny enough to think the second.

But you have to understand, this system allows us to oppress people even poorer than you, much more easily.
I'm sure you feel a little silly, now that you know.
I would recognize that shirt anywhere, that's Benjamin Netanyahu!
This is so poorly worded. It really reads like someone dropped their money and then picked it back up.
Took me forever to realize it was a cop who dropped the money.
Wait, where does it say that a cop dropped the money? That changes everything!
There is no other plausible explanation.
Why the hell else would the cops even look at this never-mind post about it?
The sanctity of finders keepers no longer applies these days? Fuck this time line...
Technically a crime in Japan, at least.
Not only there.

I've found 2 wallets in my life with about $2k combined in them you think I gave that shit back? You're goddamn right I did.
Is that Mitch McConnell?
No he's dead
Nonsense! He was alive just a few days ago to refuse video recor— ohhhhh.....
What's the point in having poor people if they are allowed to have money?
It just occurred to me that the cops posted this to justify the camera.
"See, cameras are good! We're the good guys!"
and also because they would usually keep the money for themselves
If the cops were detectives, and cared, they would have hit rewind to discover who dropped the money.

If they don't honour the age old law of "finders/keepers" then we're all in a heap of trouble.
We're in a heap of trouble, but this is far from the first clue.
True, but it may be the final straw.
TIL keeping money you found on the floor is a crime. How ridiculous. What a waste of time and resources.
No, it's not a crime. Cops do not define the law.

Fucking panopticon bullshit ....
Don’t know him hope you never find him,
In Japan people do return wallets to the police, it's quite nice to live in a place where you feel safe like that
Sometimes. Often, perhaps, but definitely not all the time. Also, Japan be big and it can vary.

Wow, all of Japan? Amazing.
Enough people so that a sweeping statement like that feels appropriate. Can you imagine?
Something doesn't make sense here. Is it some sort of entrapment?
Yeah, that guy is clearly white. Not the cops regular MO.
They just want the $60 he took. They really need those $120 right now...
