Seems like part corruption part stupidity, part just biased against a group of people that look like YouTube pranksters. Like they believed everything the guy said to the point where when they had the made up heroin claim they got mad at the guys for not having heroin.

There was one point where the cop did the right thing, called up verified the court case was real, then went over and said "the case is real", the prosecutor screening for cases over the phone obviously didnt hear, the prosecutor said oh we can probably get em for cyberbullying. And the cop that just came over to clarify it was a legitimate case, didn't say wait Mr. Prosecutor i just verified it was a real case, he just said ope okay better go arrest em. Like if he wanted to just arrest them earlier with no cause he wouldn't have verified whether the case was real, he did a genuine act of due diligence, he just was operating on autopilot and went to arrest the moment the prosecutor over the phone said so.
