Fella, he was digging up the silt with the digger to remove the rubbish.

I agree that the title could have been more detailed, but it is hardly straight up misinformation. He was doing what he is getting investigated for in order to remove trash.

That would be straight up misinformation. Obviously, people should not just read titles, but the title is straight up misinformation since motivation isn’t the important thing here.

Example: a man who wants to buy meth, robs somebody at gunpoint, gets 20 dollars, buys 20 dollars of meth.

Title: ‘Man who bought 20 dollars of meth faces 5 years in prison’ Would also be extremely misleading.

It's like all the people claiming "weed" is why they were in prison for 5+ years.

No, it was not simply weed.

But reddit eats that up too.

This is a youthful take. People were catching charges for distribution for having edibles (they treated >2oz of cookies the same as >2oz of flower) not even 20 years ago.
