This is the one that gets forgotten. Before you hit post:
Start the post, then tap the 🌐 audience / globe selector.
News Feed audience & targeting → Location → North Carolina.
Post it. NC targeting puts it in front of the local people who actually care.
No location = wasted reach. Every card, every reel.
📏 2. The non-negotiables
Post the card image / reel — never a raw booking photo.
No links in the caption (kills reach). Site link goes in a first comment only.
Space posts — a few minutes apart. Never dump a batch at once.
🎵 3. Reel music
When you upload a reel, add audio from Facebook/Instagram's built-in library (never outside music — it gets muted).
Pick trending audio with low/no vocals so the on-card text still reads.
Vibe: tense/dramatic "news" or deadpan/ironic — matches the tone.
Trim to the reel length (~15–25s). Let it loop cleanly.
📝 4. Caption — pick ONE, swap the name
Rotate — don't reuse the same one back-to-back. Replace [NAME] and [COUNTY].
Meet [NAME] — arrested, not convicted, no matter what the comment section already decided. In this country the burden's on the State, not on a mugshot and a bad day in [COUNTY] County. A charge is an accusation, not a verdict. Wild concept, we know. Presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Here's [NAME], currently far more innocent than the internet would like. A booking photo proves exactly one thing: someone got arrested. It does not prove the case — that's the State's job, and they haven't done it yet. Save your verdict for the courtroom. Innocent until proven guilty.
[NAME] got booked, and somewhere a keyboard detective is already sharpening the pitchfork. Slow down. An arrest is a claim; a conviction is a fact — and those are not the same thing, despite what the mob insists. The Constitution still applies on a Tuesday. Presumed innocent until proven guilty.
This is [NAME]. Before you decide their whole life off one gray-wall photo, remember the part everyone skips: the charges are allegations. The government has to actually prove them. Until then, they're as innocent as you are. Due process — it's not just for people you like.
[NAME], [COUNTY] County. Arrested — which, believe it or not, is not the same as guilty. Cops make accusations; courts decide the truth. A lot of these charges quietly get reduced or dropped after the screenshots stop. Presumed innocent until proven guilty. Let the process work.
Fun fact the outrage machine forgets: [NAME] is legally innocent right now. An arrest report is one side's story, told before anyone's cross-examined a thing. Maybe it holds up in court, maybe it falls apart — that's exactly why we have courts. Innocent until proven guilty.
Introducing [NAME] — trending on your feed, untried in any court. The State gets to make the accusation; it also has to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. Big difference. Everyone's a hanging judge until it's their kid on the wall. Presumed innocent until proven guilty.
[NAME] was arrested in [COUNTY] County. That's a fact. That they did it? Still just an allegation — the kind that has to survive a courtroom, not a comment thread. Innocent until proven guilty isn't a loophole, it's the whole point. Reserve judgment.
▶️ 6. YouTube Shorts + TikTok — the link advantage
Unlike Facebook, these platforms let you post links. So every video sends people to the site (traffic + attorney leads). The reels are in the shared Drive folder RB_Reels_2026-07-29.
Put the link in the description (YouTube) / bio (TikTok).
📺 YouTube Shorts — @RecentlyBusted
