As horrible and cynical as this is, I feel like they probably should not publish this. I think there are more people who would abuse this information, than who could do anything about it.
- saagarjha 6y agoWhat kinds of abuse do you think this opens up? That DOSing the people handling this work?
- sgillen 6y agoI guess the perceived problem is using this fact to dismiss serious requests, or as defense in court of real criminals.
- microcolonel 6y agoYes, that is exactly what I'm talking about. Sadistic or Machiavellian people with an interest in it may get the idea that they can send false, marginal, or expired reports to waste their time; and equally I feel like this kind of writing is less likely to be read by people considering making a genuine report.
- codezero 6y agoMaybe that’s the point... Maybe they have some information indicating that false reports originate largely from actual criminals. So this article will bring more out of the woodwork. Perhaps they let their guard down and submit without hiding their identity, to look more legit, and this is how they bait them. It’d be a great honey pot.
