Thankfully, the days of “people being annoying online and calling it a prank” are mostly behind us. Now, the annoying people online are just annoying as part of their personality and not a gimmick. I’m not sure it’s better, but it’s something!
Still, there are a few YouTube pranksters out there — and they keep getting arrested.
The latest is YouTuber Calimar White, who was arrested after allegedly impersonating a federal agent in a video. White claimed he worked for a fictitious group called OCDA, which, according to a lawsuit, he suggested was affiliated with OSHA. White has since denied this.
From there, White allegedly “accused the supervisor of engaging in racial harassment and practicing nepotism, among other accusations.” He also allegedly prevented people from leaving a room (that’s a false imprisonment charge) and blew smoke in someone’s face.
The resultant video got over 120,000 views and also landed White *another* charge for defamation.
Remember, kids: YouTube pranks — not even once!
