Interesting that they are showing how people were making up hoaxes.
It's a pretty common thing with the new generation of "activists" to fabricate shit to law enforcement. I am not even going to say it's limited to the right or left.
People make those fabrications with varying levels of sophistication and success, from famous ones like the Tawana Brawley hoax to the accusations against Charles Dyer. One of the most vicious was that surrounding the killing of Scott Woodring. That was done on the word of a 13 year old small town gas station slut who decided to be offended when he made a remark about how she was too scantily clad and she retorted that it was all she could afford (daisy duke shorts and a halter top), he apparently tossed her some cash and told her to go get some clothes. By the time her, her pimp and their friends were talking to police, it was the weirdo child molester had propositioned her out of the blue and made a down payment on a sex romp. Once the state troopers determined it was Woodring, they took it as their excuse to go after him.
Even from the "conservative" and libertarian side, we had the whole "trespass and squatting" thing with people who invited us to build up their survival retreats and keep it all off the books, then whammo, it's all a big ambush and ripoff scheme. In fact one thing the liberals tend to do less (but they do it) and is dirt common for "conservatives" to do is the fake job. You get "hired" for something, show up, and then whammo, you are accused of something out of the blue. Very common among conservatives hell bent on eliminating rivals, usually because once the winner sticks felony paper on the loser, then the loser has no future credibility even for counter-claims later on. With democrats and liberals, they don't care, its all about loyalty to the party so if someone does prison time, it just make them that much more the hero of the story.
The issue right now is that with those false accusations leveled against Trump, and then the flurry of stuff surrounding Bill Cosby, a lot of these cases which would have been prosecuted in the 1990s are getting double and triple checked before any arrest, and a lot turn out to be false, but the accuser is still protected.
