‘Fish Bandit’ arrested for taping fish to ATM machines
His Instagram bio: “Live, laugh, tape fish on ATMs.”
This was a hilarious read. Thanks for posting.
I personally think arresting the kid was a step too far (this is the kind of policing that is rather unwarranted), but it is a rather bizarre choice of behavior
I agree. A fine for damage could've been used instead.
Fish bandit94 has fallen. He's now a martyr and people all around the world are tapping up fish.
Automated Teller Machine Machines, eh USA Today?
At the risk of sounding like an old dragon;
The world just ain't like it used to be...these days you can't get away with half of what you could 10, 20 or even 30 years ago...even if what you did was largely completely harmless.
As for damages...what damages? Maybe a little cleanup would be necessary, but I doubt any of these ATMs were actually physically harmed by the prank(s). I will admit that it's a little bit irresponsible for the child to have actually done this internationally; but I suspect it wasn't the same kid. I doubt one kid could've traveled the world to fish-tape ATMs thousands of miles away; and instead this is a rather large "group" of kids doing this for the lulz, and they only caught the one kid and are trying to make an example of him. >_>
Agreed. While it's not very fish-friendly and a definite waste of food, this is not even kind of a big deal.
Low key though; taping a fish to a cop car isn't very classy and it only invites the cops to come after you instead of looking the other way.
There is no way to sustainably tape fish to ATMs. Source: Seaspiracy
