Pizza orders have nothing to do with the MPD response to swattings. The pizzas have nothing to do with his current lawsuit. I'm sure he'll want it brought up, but it does not have anything to do with whether or not the MPD violated his rights.
Rick will want to litigate issues that aren't on the table because he does it every time he's in court, and every time his lawyer has to shush him like a baby and spread his cheeks for the decision. Rick doesn't win in court. It's kind of his thing.
By help his case it would indicate that someone is trying to make trouble for him via the internet.
I am sure even the MPD would accept that he isn’t so totally dense as to arrange to have cash on delivery pizzas sent to them using his real name.
It won’t have any bearing on the case and what is being decided by the court, but it could motivate the MPD to at least see if it can be settled without going through with the hearing.
Fatrick probably won’t have it, as he will want his day in court.
My point really is that fucking with hooligans using pizza orders in Patrick’s name is one thing, but fucking with the police in the same way is not going to make life worse for Patrick.
Ordering pizzas to a bar which serves food is going to annoy the staff and managers because real customers will see the pizza guy show up and some will assume it’s ok to order pizza and eat it there, so will start doing it themselves.
Also when no one claims the pizza the delivery guy is going to be hassling the staff about payment and shit.
It’s more likely that the owners will jump to conclusions that Patrick is the one trying to fuck with them.
They probably won’t phone the police or anything but word will get around and then Patrick will be obligated to correct the record.
So sure, some milk may emerge with Patrick showing up at hooligans to protest his innocence, but get into arguments with owners/managers.
The police don’t have the same concerns however, it’s more likely that some copper/station staff will just pay for the pizza and eat it.
Plus as I say, Patrick’s name will get mentioned and the police are more likely to understand this is the work of internet trolls fucking with him.
