“We did a TikTok in the video, but there was no reception,” she says. ‘So we came to go there and back to get reception.’
An officer leans through the driver’s window, visibly unimpressed by the reaction.
“Making a TikTok video is not a reasonable excuse,” she says.
Another video was uploaded to the social media platform showing the group of friends lined up against a wall brazenly pursuing their plans to film a TikTok.
They break into a dance before the two officers send them on their way.
“If they hurt you for doing a TikTok on the front of your building, but it’s okay,” read a caption on the video. ‘It got better.’
The footage of the encounter annoyed social media users who were quick to criticize their actions.
“That’s why we’re still in lockdown,” wrote one person. “People have to stop doing things like that and just do the right thing.”
Another person wrote, “But was it worth it? Enough attention? ‘
The single mother remained excused and replied, “Yes, it really was”.
Other social media users defended the women.
“I have a feeling that TikToks is a reasonable excuse,” wrote one person.
Daily Mail Australia contacted the single mother for comment.
