Yep

I actually know someone who dodged one of these stupid vigilante bs things

There was a road rage incident where someone got upset during a right hand turn at her, she said they suck at driving when they got agro and drove off. Basically, the driver was acting like they wanted to do a U-turn, but actually wanted a right turn

She pulled over away from them, but theypulled up near her, and started physically smashing her car. So to get him from her car, she damaged his mirror.

Few hours later, they're on Facebook trying to get information on her claiming she was on drugs and it was road rage by her. After she'd been completely abused, and they had ripped off mirrors, wipers off her car and damaged the door before she even went anywhere near theirs. Never mentioned they completely smashed her car

And all they wanted to do was report to police (playing innocent).

Facebook defended the aggressors strongly.. until people started posting photos of evidence and I managed to explain to the mods that the story was a lie. And eventually the person let slip their husband sometimes acted irrationally

If someone like hinch caught onto this story, my friend would likely have been targeted by the community. And to this day, I make it clear to people to never report people to report info to anyone asking on Facebook, but direct to police only

There is a reason it goes through courts instead where all evidence is shown, instead of people who are simply popular
