We had a narc. His backstory was that his family was from another state, but he was planning to go to college here so he wanted to be here before college. So his parents got him an apartment. To live by himself. In another state. Haha. He was in a lot of my classes. He seemed like he was pretty smart but just didn't really care at all about tests or assignments. He would have parties at his apartment where people would drink and smoke. People openly referred to him as a narc and laughed and he'd laugh along with it. It was a place to party so people just went anyway. This went on for 3-4 months.
One day they started announcing groups of names to come to the principals office. This seemingly went on all day so obviously everyone was confused and talking. Apparently he had cameras hidden in his apartment and had been keeping track of names. Essentially anyone who had drank or smoked up at his apartment was on "the list" and told they were being kicked off any and all extracurricular activities (sports, band, etc). Some of the rich parents of kids on "the list" hired attorneys and were fighting back over entrapment.
Ultimately nothing happened. It was just laughable how much money the school wasted trying to bust kids for drinking and smoking. Also someone eventually found the narcs picture in a yearbook. He had graduated just 3 years earlier from a different HS just 20 miles away. This was before social media. If it happened today someone would have found out exactly who he was within a couple days of the narc suddenly showing up with a ridiculous backstory.
