How is this even possible? A tiny man dressed as a women walks into a bank and writes what to get them to give them money?
"You are being recorded and will be outed as racist AND transphobic if you don't put the cash in the bag!"
I grew up thinking bank heists were something risky that you planned months in advance. Has it been this easy the whole time?
We live in a timeline where full grown adults are given safe spaces with coloring crayons and think misgendering someone should be punished with prison.
This does not surprise me at all.
Generally the idea is that if you rob a bank, you're going to get caught sooner rather than later. It's easier to just give them the money with can, and is, easily tracked through dye packs and the like. Hell, if it's in 100s the bank reports the serial numbers and they get picked up as soon as they try to spend or deposit the cash at any legitimate business, not to mention the amount of cameras watching your every move in and out.
Whenever I hear about a bank robbery in the present, I assume the perpetrator is either incredibly stupid, or was really in it for the thrill and accepted the eventual arrest and prison sentence in advance as part of their mental calculation of whether to do it. Because of all crimes it must be the one you’re least likely to get away with, by far.
Do you mean for you, me, or any other average person? Or are we talking about someone favored by the administration occupying the White House at the time?
Which is why a lot of robbery has moved to the things that can easily be converted to cash later: jewelry, gold, hard goods.
Amusingly enough, there was a case a few years back where a jewelry store in DC got robbed buy a four man team in suits and clown masks, which caused a lot of players of a certain bank robbery simulator game to break out in a cold sweat.
Minor PL, but I used to work at a bank. We were told that if someone comes up and tells you to empty the drawer, you do it, no questions asked. It's not worth risking your life for the couple thousand bucks they keep on the floor at any given time.
The type of heist you're thinking of is a vault heist, which is virtually unheard of these days and would require, at the very least, an inside man. Standard bank robberies are insanely high risk, very low reward, and are reserved mostly for the mentally retarded.
Theoretically could someone come along, ask you to empty the drawer and then leave without taking anything and would that still be a crime or just a massive dick move ?
Like some joke out a batman parody where instead of the riddler you have the inconveniencer
That's such a bizarre edge case that I'm pretty sure they'd have to come up with a new law just to address it. If that were to happen we'd probably call the cops, tell them about it, then put the money back. From there it's up to a judge to decide if what they did was illegal. If they didn't use any threatening language at all, probably not.

We don't live in a timeline at all. We live in a punchline.

It's risky after the fact nowadays.

Less likely to get away with than smuggling hard drugs into the white house?
