Cops think cellphone case that looks like a gun is bad idea

Why has a cellphone case been causing a stir on social media lately? According to some law enforcement off♌icials, a case that looks like a gun is a dangerous product.

On Tuesday, New🍌 Jersey State Police posted images of the “faux gun cell phone case” to their Instagram and Facebook accounts.

“This cell phone case is a terrible idea,” the police department wrote . “Officers do not have the luxury of time when making split-second decisions, while interacting with the public. We strongly🅘 recommend that you do not use this product both for your own safety and the safety of law enforcement officers.”

Some of the police department’s🅺 social media followers agreed that the case could pose a potential risk.

“I agree. Horrible concept,” wrote Instagram user “foosestang.” Another user, “misstadoodles,” agreed, writing that “someone is going to get hurt because of it, be the owner because someone thinks it’s the real thing or someone else i൲gnoring a person with a REAL gun because they assume it’s that phone ca♑se. Bad idea all around.”
