I found this on the street while walking in my neighborhood yesterday. Turns out even the police send postcards - though I imagine the recipient didn’t register this one
I especially love that they used such an whimsical stamp
(and in case anyone in wondering, no I did not try and deliver this card to it’s rightful owner. I already have a regular job and don’t have time for a second one serving arrest warrants )
I think this sums up the absurdity of our criminal justice system right now. Threaten to arrest someone in public and charge them additional fees for doing so, but use the least private and reliable mail option to inform them of this.
Are these a scam, then? The idea of a police department sending out a postcard (instead of just arresting the person) is so strange, that I can’t quite wrap my head around it.
Not as far as I can tell. The phone number and address match what’s listed on the police department’s website.The card doesn’t ask for any personal information - it just instructs you to call the phone number listed. Still, very strange.
wow…it’s almost a shame attempt with using a post card…like hey if you don;t want us letting your mom know you are in trouble, best not get a warrant in my town! at least if it was a letter, not everyone could read your business and then you could at least play it off like oh yeah they were just looking for a donation, nothing to do with my current incarceration status…
that is too much! and so random to find it on the street i love finds like that…

Amazing
