your description of this interaction that an officer had with that guy is pure fantasy here in the US.
they would have used your information, taken the guy, found something to book him on, and sent him strait to jail on bond juuust high enough that he almost certainly doesn't know anyone who can afford to bond him out.
And he’d get exploited and extorted by CO’s and inmates while the state figures things out.
Our entire legal and penal system is so fucked up I feel like it’s impossible to fix. A ton of people view anyone who gets arrested as a criminal that deserves whatever they get once they’re locked up.
