Perp walk

Hi there! Do you know what a "perp walk" is? It's when a police officer leads a suspect who has been arrested out of a building or into a police car in front of a lot of cameras and reporters.

Okay, let's break that down a bit more. Imagine you did something wrong, and the police found out about it. They would come to your house or your workplace and tell you that you're under arrest. That means they think you did something that is against the law, and they are going to take you to the police station to try to figure out what happened.

Now, if you're a famous person or if your case is really interesting to the public, the media might want to take pictures or videos of you as you're being taken to the police car. They might want to ask you questions or take your picture, so they can tell people what happened.

That's what a perp walk is - it's when the police officers and the suspect walk through a bunch of reporters and cameras so the reporters can get pictures and video of the suspect being arrested. It's called a "perp walk" because "perp" is short for "perpetrator," which means someone who has done something wrong.

So, when you see pictures on TV or online of someone being led out of a building in handcuffs or getting into a police car surrounded by reporters, that's what a perp walk is. It can be a little scary and embarrassing for the person being arrested, but it's important to remember that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, which means that just because someone is being arrested doesn't mean they've done something wrong.
