A woman whose car was stolen, crashed, abandoned, and vandalized with her own lipstick says police told her the five people who took it would face no criminal charges because they had just been “joyriding.”

The 34-second clip framing the experience as a discovery about US criminal law has drawn responses from lawyers and victims of similar incidents that conflict with what she said the officer on her case told her.

The video was posted by Piper (@its__piper), a TikToker whose channel mostly logs everyday incidents and alternative beauty content. Her caption is “can’t make this up.”
