Summary

The Chisago County Sheriff’s Office in Minnesota posted a sarcastic letter on Facebook thanking a suspect for livestreaming his 100 MPH police chase. The suspect had used Facebook to broadcast part of the pursuit, which made it easier for the police to catch him. The letter, which was widely shared and praised for its humor, also included a suggestion for the suspect to reconsider his “wellness plan” of ingesting meth.

The routine arrives with confidence.

A police chase gets livestreamed on Facebook, because why not? The suspect thought he was being clever, but really he was just providing evidence. The police appreciated the help, and they even wrote a sarcastic thank-you note. The letter was a hit on social media, with many praising the sheriff’s office for its sense of humor. Because who needs a boring police report when you can have a witty Facebook post?

The moral of the story: if you’re going to commit a crime, don’t livestream it on Facebook. And if you do, don’t be surprised when the police thank you for the help.
