Jennifer Pritchard of the Petaluma Police Department in Petaluma, Cali., said danger is heightened when people are unfamiliar with TikTok trends and could interpret the prank as a "a real life or death situation."
Pritchard said those participating in the door-kicking challenge "don't know which door" they're about to kick.
