That\u2019s exactly what a TikToker has claimed to happen to him and his friends. In a clip uploaded to TikTok earlier in April, user \u2018thickbwoy\u2019 showed off his bikini-clad friend on a boat preparing to square off against cops in a game of RPS. Using good old best of three rules (the only real way to play, let\u2019s be real here), the girl was able to best her cop opponent 2-1, losing to scissors in round one, winning with scissors to secure round two and paper to smother rock to clutch out the set. After winning, the boat\u2019s occupants erupted in cheers, and seemingly for good reason, as the uploader captioned the video, \u201cwe got out of a felony with rock, paper, scissors.\u201d (click here if TikTok fails to load) Viral \u2018rock, paper, scissors\u2019 TikTok sparks backlash While it\u2019s unclear if the caption was accurate and the crew really did manage to avoid a felony charge by winning a kid\u2019s game, the clip did earn its fair share of controversy. With 18.6 million views, it seemed like everyone had an opinion with many taking an issue with the TikTokers seemingly abusing their \u201cprivilege.\u201d \u201cWhat kind of privilege is this\u2026\u201d one user wrote. \u201cResults may vary on skin color,\u201d said another.

So far, thickbwoy hasn\u2019t provided any additional details about the viral post, so don\u2019t consider this to be the new meta if you ever find yourself in a legal predicament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TikTokers avoid felony by playing rock, paper, scissors with police TikTok\/thickbwoyA clip of TikTokers supposedly dodging a felony charge by beating police in \u2018rock, paper, scissors\u2019 has gone viral, resulting in a heated debate about \u201cprivilege.\u201d If you\u2019ve ever been caught speeding, jaywalking or some other offense by a police officer, have you ever wished [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61525\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
