The stupid ass students laid their own grave by thinking they'd give the lady a scare she may have very well deserved. The only problem is.. it worked TOO well.
At this point, any sane non-idiot would have told the cop that immediately upon questioning, instead of being unhelpful and denying it. They would have been in some shit, but I doubt the interstate would have been closed, etc.
The part that made be absolutely livid about this, is their IDIOTS of a family. The sister saying how her life has been "irreversibly ruined" because they were detained for 16 hours.
Gimme a break. If I had done that shit, my parents would have been out there saying how I really am a good kid, but I excersized poor judgement and got what I deserved.
Let the guys cool off for a couple days in jail, and get a couple misdemeanors. Hell, kids get expelled from school for FAR less than that.
Repeat. It's not racism what the cops did. The kids got everything they asked for and more, play with fire and get burned so the saying goes. I understand why they did it, and I'm sure I would have been tempted to do the same thing, but I'm not a fucking idiot and would have realized what might have happened.
So, hit 'em with the book if for no other reason than their family trying to trump it up and use it as a means to further their agenda and play "victim".

You'd be scared shitless KNOWING that you're a) foreign, b) next potential target of a terrorist witch hunt, c) you'd probably be hung if you admitted to making a joke about terrorism. That's probably why they denied.
Look at what happens to kids who make guns with their hands (expelled but appealed).
If you and your friends are joking, it's not really your fault that some bitch is being nosy and listening in your conversation. Hell, me and my friends start talking suspiciously/stupidly when we notice someone is being nosy.
But I do agree that they should have been more careful if they were joking, if they were serious, then fuck 'em.
