TEXT ♞ IT WASN'T ME, MA

If Retrospec gives you an item that you suspect is a murder weapon, what do you do with it? Should it be turned into the police or do you just keep it somewhere...? And what if you accidentally already got your fingerprints all over it...?

... hypothetically asking.

Threaded | Flat

Why did you kill someone?

I've got some of those. Just wipe the blood and prints off. Good as new.

what makes you so sure its a murder weapon?

Put it back.

Have you murdered somebody?

well, it's a murder in another world, right?
I mean, I have a weapon from them which I'm pretty sure has been used to kill a lot of people, but since it was in like in the 1860s or something it's kind of hard to see how that would be relevant to the police (-｡-;
if they don't actually have an open case related to it I don't know what they're supposed to do with it

Hypothetically speaking, we can put things back in the mailbox. That would be the simple solution.

But please, do not give it to the police. Any crime that might have been committed with this hypothetical possible murder weapon before it was given to you by Retrospec is completely outside their jurisdiction anyway. It would just confuse the non-app police.

If someone was curious about said hypothetical maybe murder weapon and wants to determine if it really was used in a violent fashion, I happen to be a CSI and can examine it for them.

You can feel free to hand it over to the police.

If you'd like to get arrested.

What?? What do you mean you have a murder weapon?

If you want to get arrested.

First, what did your mail ticket say the item was?

Second, you do know there's no way anyone is going to think this is hypothetical.

And what in the world did our police force do to deserve someone doing that to them? The majority of the police force isn't on the app, and as such...well, you're going to confuse them at best, and at worst they're going to assume that you murdered someone here and you're delusional about it.

I can confirm that anything that happens in other dimensions entirely is completely out of the local law enforcement's jurisdiction, if it comforts you any.

drop it in the river

You do realize there are police officers on this network.

[ Right? ]

display it!

maybe not tell the entire world you have it would be a good start?

You put it back in the mailbox.

Well, for starters, I wouldn't be posting about it all over a public network.

But that aside, that all depends. Since it sounds like it's something from your memories, having been sent to you by Retrospec, then you can't really be arrested from a crime you committed in your past life, can you?

Not unless Retrospec is trying to frame you for something.

[ AT LEAST, he hopes not ]
