The Ultimate Consequences: TikToker Urges A Teen To Run Into A Field

Lawyer explains why TikToker urging a teen to run into a baseball field is a felony.

People are chatting on social media about a TikTok video. It shows a woman asking a teenager to run onto a baseball field during a game. Nevertheless, Attorney Ugo Lord has shown why such an act is not only foolish but also a serious crime.

A Crime Prank

The reaction video, posted by Attorney Lord, has nearly 500,000 views and shows the TikToker trying to persuade the teen to disrupt the game by running onto the field.

“Trying to convince this kid to run out on the field. Do it! I’m TikTok famous. I’ll give you famous on TikTok, too!” the TikToker says.

Then, the crowd celebrates as this young man eventually starts to jump over the barrier and go across the field.

Before we can see what happens next, the video cuts off. However, it’s likely that the guards would bust this young man.

Attorney Reaction

Maybe this was just a harmless joke to the woman in this situation. However, she and the other young man might find themselves in a very challenging legal scenario in the interim, according to Attorney Ugo Lord, who has 6.7 million TikTok followers.

“Running out into the field of a professional game is known as criminal trespass. And, it can land you with a felony in many states,” Lord says.

“And, if you tell someone to commit a crime, that is known as solicitation of a crime.”.

“It makes this TikToker guilty of solicitation of a crime,” Lord concludes.

Crime Solicitation

Solicitation of a crime is a type of inchoate crime, which is incomplete or preparatory. It means asking, persuading, or commanding someone to do a wrongful act so that it allows, assists, or benefits from the commission of that crime.

Both solicitation can occur at federal or state level, and the consequences differ according to the severity of the crime that was solicited. Furthermore, soliciting someone to commit a crime of violence, such as murder or terrorism, can result in up to 3 years in prison.

The crime of solicitation does not need the person whom the solicit is made for to commit the crime, or even agree to do it. Even the mere act of making the request, with the criminal intent, is enough for constituting solicitation.

How Does Solicitation Apply To This Video?

In the example of the TikTok video, the TikToker who told the teen to run into the baseball field could be charged with solicitation of a crime because she obviously asked and encouraged the teen to commit the crime of criminal trespass, which is considered a felony in many states.

There was also the teen, who in fact did run into the field, who could possibly be facing criminal trespass charges. Punishment for criminal trespass varies depending on the state but can range from fines to jail or even both.

The TikToker might try to claim that he was just kidding or that she didn’t mean it when she made him do the crime, but this might not be enough to escape prosecution or find themselves innocent in court.

There are the video evidence from the TikToker and the testimony of the teenager. As a result, these could show that the TikToker had the appropriate intention and she made a serious request.

Hence, both the TikToker and the teenager might suffer considerable legal repercussions for their actions.

Public Attention

Since Dr. Lord released his reaction, numerous comments have been made by other users. While some laughed at this young man, others found this action amusing.

“Remember kids, if an adult tells you they are TikTok famous, you should not trust them. If they tell you they’ll make you TikTok famous if you do what they say, do not do it” One joked.

“The more I come across “famous TikTokers” whom I’ve never heard of, the more I believe I’m doing something right in life for not knowing who they are.” Another added.

It was also questioned whether it was ethical to use TikTok fame to encourage others to commit a crime.

“ “I’m TikTok famous I will get you famous on TikTok too” is the cringiest thing ever she should go straight to jail for saying that.”

Conclusion

This video at the end shows how that influence could sometimes result in such harmful and lawless behavior. Users should be required to comprehend the possible legal consequences of their actions, both in virtual and real life.

Although TikTok can be pretty fun and creative, it is very important to remember that “actions have consequences”. There’s a chance an innocent joke could soon become a rather serious legal matter.
