I’ve been watching a lot of those documentaries and they are just making me hate the police even more. Most come down to complete ineptitude and ignorance by the police who are ignoring red flags and being lazy idiots
That's why my dad told me to always get a receipt. It's not a business thing, it's an alibi thing!
Is he still getting cigarettes?
Mines got a twenty year trail of receipts. The stores keep mailing them to us & it’s the only way we know where he is
Yeah
This is why it's common in the black community to get a receipt whenever you buy anything. You can't prove where you are at all times, but you can prove that you were at a particular time and place. Might save you from being railroaded for a crime you didn't commit.
And not so you are not accused of stealing? That's my reason of getting receipts.
"When the heck would I ever need to prove I paid for a doughnut?"
"When you're being tried for murder and the only alibi you got is buying a doughnut."
I have never heard that before, but that makes a depressing amount of sense.
Damn, never thought of that. There's a REASON I might need to prove I bought a doughnut!
It's ok, your phone tracks your location.
So leave it at home when you go on that crime spree.
How will I be able to get anyway without map on my phone?
even better, lend it to a friend to carry around town
I like all the suggestions in here about how to avoid getting caught for murder through your phone
My tip for not getting caught would be: probably don't murder someone in the first place unless they really really deserve it
I guess we're all Luigis now.
That doesn’t protect your ass when you get accused of a crime you didn’t commit.
There are nearly 3000 billionaires worldwide. Collectively they own 14 trillion in wealth.
This is nearly double all of the wealth held by every other person in the world, combined.
Why don't we just get rid of them? Are we stupid?
Yes
Yes. Very.
fr -- but /c/wooosh, it's batmanarkham reference
Perfect cover, Scott....
what is the definition of really really deserve it?
Being too inquisitive
Brian
top marks for not tryin
He was clearly a foot man, it is in the Bible.
I think if you have a Fitbit or something similar on they can prove where you are?
Just having your phone should do that.
So, so many crimes are solved mainly through phone metadata
Just remember boys and girls, leave your phone at home when you go murder.
Yeah turns out, "sitting in my room alone playing video games," isn't much of an alibi. I should get some hobbies that involve people. Like...multi-player games.
This is why there are so many Twitch streamers. They get nothing out of it except for a perfect alibi.
I am envisioning the perfect mystery novel for the proper author.
Sounds more just like a one-off episode of Poker Face or Elsbeth or some shit...
Shitty Pro Tips:
Turn on Google Maps Location History and act like a "normie". (You should probably do this for a few months to establish a good and lenthy history)
Then when you want to do ~~murder~~ surprise deprivation of someone's life, leave your phone at home and use a pre-recorded voice of you that would activate and use the Google/Siri assistant at the same time as when you do the deed.
Voila, ez alibi!
What's far more likely to happen if you do that is that you get caught up in a dragnet and accused of a crime you haven't committed because they know you were nearby and need a fall guy.
To be fair, if you're going to do something really illegal, you shouldn't bring your phone with you anyway, or at least put it on airplane mode. Even without Google Maps, the cell towers will triangulate your approximate location and time, and it's basically the first thing police pull if there's a crime in an area.
You'll also probably need to make sure you conceal your face as you walk by a million ring doorbell cameras, because those will rat you out and disprove your alibi.
Even better, my location history proves I regularly go on 5 hour drives in the middle of the night so it's not at all out of character that I drove to the middle of the woods where the body was found at 3am
wait that's not a good thing is it
what do you mean they found more bodies
