Pranks and social experiments are fairly common on the internet. Internet users have been calling out pranks and social experiments for a long time now, as they sometimes jeopardize individuals’ safety. A perfect example of such a case happened recently with Kick streamer Natalie Reynolds, who had a run-in with the police.

Natalie Reynolds and her crew were driving around the city in a van performing a “kidnapping children social experiment.” She would stop her fan in front of children and parents, then walk to the back of the van. She claimed that she was giving out free candies and treats and offered them many options.

Natalie opened the back of the van, claiming that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for kids to get something for free. She would then list off several candies that she had. However, in the back of the truck lay a man whose hands and legs were tied up. His mouth was also taped shut with duct tape.

The man violently banged his legs against the floor for help. Seeing this, the parents and their children would walk away uncomfortably. However, it seems that the police were made aware of this situation. Perhaps a good samaritan may have alerted emergency authorities of the situation. Or, the police got suspicious of the truck’s ‘free candy’ sign.

As Natalie Reynolds and her filming crew drive away from a location, someone in chat joked about an upcoming jail stream. Ironically, a police cruiser was driving next to them during this joke. Natalie and her crew got worried about the police presence. As they passed the vehicle, the Kick streamer commented about how “sus” her driver looked.

"Jail stream will be lit'? Do you guys just watch my streams to see me get shot? Oh another cop, another cop.

Moments after this, the cops turned on their sirens and pulled up in front of the van. The police officer got out of the car and started pointing his flashlight at the trio sitting in front. Natalie and the crew raised their hands in response. The police officer walked up to the fan and forced the three to get out of the car.

The police officer did not take the situation lightly as there could potentially be lives in danger, and treated the situation with seriousness. He made them lie on the ground and detained them. It is unclear whether they got arrested or not. Fans have called out Natalie Reynolds for undertaking such dangerous stunts for clout.
