I have a couple of rules, though, when it comes to pranks, and that is, they shouldn’t be mean or hurtful, and they should not cause any property damage.

Now, in this case, I’m still getting a grasp of the prank and whether it violates those standards.

BLAME THE TOK!

It all comes from a TikTok trend or challenge (doesn’t everything these days?), and it’s now made its way into Alabama.
It’s been an issue in Prattville, Alabama, in recent days.

It has led the police department to send a notice through its social media accounts, making it clear they don’t find it funny.

The prank centers around someone pretending to be a transformative artist and making it appear that way. They are “relieving themselves on objects around town”.

There are tons of examples on TikTok that are NOT REALLY SAFE FOR WORK, so I absolutely will NOT include them.

However, it's a pretty juvenile prank that involves using a water bottle and turning your back as you "relieve yourself."

The police department in Prattville, Alabama, wants it known that, whether it's real or a water bottle, it could get someone in trouble and lead to an arrest.

They also want to make it clear that following any Internet or social media trends can have serious consequences, including being harmful and in violation of local laws.
