I feel like I am missing context here. I don't understand why clicking a phishing link leads to getting beaten by cops and charged with a made up offense.

They were already targeted. The phish click gave the powers that be their IP. Search through the ISP or the VPN provider who's the client and their address. Make up a false report, give a heads up to the police officer to rough up the target.

Literally don't click strange links through text or email. Source is a friend who did some shit in Afghanistan.
