This same behavior is why the IRS does not allow for anonymous reporting of tax violations. I think this article is overreaching in their fear, and perhaps fear-mongering. If a crime has been committed then a citizen is well within their rights to report it. You may not like that as a matter of politics, but it is legal. We should not be afraid to report behavior we feel might be illegal due to political correctness[0], or politics but at the same time, retaliatory use of law enforcement for crimes not justified should be punished.
