> losing your Gmail account is as bad as having the police called on you in the first place.
Gmail won't chase you and throw you in a cell if you run from them. The police will.
Again, what does this have to do with this story? Having the police called on you because of something like this is not going to result in the police chasing you, so this has nothing to do with this story. It's just utterly unrelated what-aboutism.
