Hi there,
Yesterday, a couple of friends and I were filming a video for our YouTube account. The ultimate goal of the video was to increase the insight on how crucial it is to break fights apart early before one becomes seriously injured which could therefore negatively affect them for the remainder of their life.
We created a fake human (dummy) to assault in the proximity of surrounding members of society, a lot of people did nothing, however the experiment climaxed when a man began to threaten us and furthermore, continued to do so even after he realised it wasn't a real scenario. His wife had called the police and ambulance, stating that we killed a man and attacked him additionally even though he was dead. However, we were unaware of this call at the time. And as we were packing up to leave, we see sirens blazing, two police cars and two ambulances.
We jokingly uttered, "imagine if they were coming to save the dummy" and moments later, that's exactly the predicament we found ourselves in.
The Police began questioning us, we told them what we were doing and that we were sorry for the unanticipated inconveniences we have caused. We made sure they knew we had good intentions behind what we were doing, which would ultimately contribute to the betterment of society. Two of them were fairly nice, however the one in charge was being quite arrogant.
I can't remember what we were charged for but they ended up taking our DNA & interviewed us. They also told us we will have a court summons.
1) Are we completely guilty in this scenario?
2) Is it possible to get my cameras back before I attend court?
The reason I undertook this idea is because my brother was beaten up by 5 men with golf clubs and was severely injured, many people did not intervene which ultimately worsened his condition. It's a shame that a man kicking a fake dummy caused more controversy than 5 men committing assault against a real human with golf clubs.
Thanks for reading.
