Apparently this was in Detroit in 2020. A similar thing happened a few years earlier in West Seattle. Black guy went into a Wa. Mutual to deposit a check and the bank people thought it "didn't look right" so they called the cops and charged him with check fraud. During the week or so he spent in jail, he lost his job, got evicted from his apartment, and gf broke up with him. He sued the bank and it took a couple years but he won.

If you found out the person you were dating was a criminal (according to the authorities), would you stick around?

Under and acuusation? No, needs to be proven first before anything.

depends on what it was for lol.

way to out yourself as an unsophisticated, sheltered suburbanite.

child molester or abuser = no way

any rich people crime, like embezzling = no way

drug crimes other than crack, heroin, meth? who cares...

anything else = whatever.
