Public service announcement from DCPD chief

The DCPD has been made aware of the high school students’ JR/SR challenge game and the list of tasks. To students thinking of accepting any of these challenges, be aware that many tasks involve committing crimes such as battery, disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property, theft, lewd/lascivious behavior, reckless driving, drug possession, minor in possession/consumption of alcohol, criminal trespass, kidnapping, hosting minors consuming alcohol, conspiracy to commit, interference with law enforcement, promoting obscenity to minors and various dangerous traffic violations that could easily take a life or end yours. This is not a complete list of crimes that could be charged based on the “challenge list” these kids have come up with. It should also be noted that the challenge requires video proof to get the points, so since numerous sex acts or acts involving nudity are minors, you can also add the federal felony offense of creating and/or distributing child porn or the mere possession thereof. Those caught committing these crimes will be charged accordingly. Think before you decide to participate, as you can drastically alter your future opportunities by engaging in this stupidity.
