English teacher, obeying policy and procedure, gives device to school administration.
School administration wonders why a kid brings this to school and, obeying policy and procedure, calls the police.
Police arrive and student will not answer questions, other than state it is a clock, and does not cooperate. (to me this is weird, why not open up to the police)
Police, following policy and procedure, cuff the student and take him to the station. Reminder - to be a hoax the object must only arouse the suspicion of an "authority figure", the kids intention does not matter. And nobody gets in the back of a police cruiser w/o being cuffed.
Police, following policy and procedure, decide the kid, though uncooperative, is no danger to himself or anyone else.
Police release student.
Now it may come out that student was treated poorly somewhere along the line. There may be a racist element somewhere though it is not obvious. Many students get in trouble for all kinds of weird things. But I'm betting it is just bureaucracy run amok.

And that is the own teachers fault. If you look at the red digital display, it looks EXACTLY like the red display on my clock. Plus, it had numbers on it that read the same exact time as the teachers time on their computer. Anyone who owns an alarm clock can look at the display and immediately tell it is from a clock! It doesn't look like anything else! what else is in the format of "xx:xx"? nothing in this world except something to do with time. I will blame this on the teacher 100%. Forget the wires. Some defenses say that the teacher didn't understand the wiring. You don't need to understand the wires to tell it's a clock. If everyone had some common sense, this wouldn't have happened. And every clock makes the same exact noise for the most part. If you played a sound effect of that clock's noise, 99% of America could tell you it's a clock. I'm not trying to be rude. i'm trying to figure out how a teacher can be so stupid. maybe she didn't open it. I'm not sure. The whole situation was just dumb to begin with.
