Yeah in fact what they should do is punish the people who report the crimes, that would definitely drop the rate of crime reporting! You get what you optimize

  > Yeah in fact what they should do is punish the people who report the crimes This happens surprisingly often in the USA. I won't bother inundating HN with all the sources that a simple search will turn up, but aside from many reports of this happening, I have first-hand experience. I called the non-emergency police number because my neighbor's large dog had escaped and was kind of freaking out the neighborhood, growling at people it didn't know, barking at people through their house windows, etc... Police showed up 3 hours later, issued me a ticket for being parked 14 inches from the street curb, gave me a verbal warning about "showing more respect" to police when I re-stated the reason for calling them, then left without doing anything about the dog. Protect and Serve.
