"We try to give a message that we are serious about transparency. In addition to dealing with serious crime, we are actually addressing some social issues and some things that might surprise the public," said Peter Fahy, one of the police.
Indeed, some people reported the incident to the police quite laughable. For example, there are disturbing reports of a rat house. There is also a woman for help on how to sue a social institution because he had no money.
During the experiment, the police arrested 341 people and detained 126 of them in jail. And apparently, the public was quite impressed with the publication of police activity on Twitter these.
