I’m trying to find the statistic, but it’s something like 75% of crime reporters in the US end up facing prosecution - i.e. if you report a fire, there’s a good chance you’ll face arson charges - if you phone the police to report an assault, there’s a good chance they’ll arrest you for calling them. Made that mistake as a kid when I saw a guy dragging his girlfriend down the street by her hair - turns out the guy was a local politician’s son, and I ended up facing a civil suit for her emotional distress caused by me interfering. I’ve found vulnerabilities in US government technology, and I know that the sensible and sane thing to do is just move on, ignore it, let it be someone else’s problem - I have no desire to end up in prison for being a Good Samaritan. If some greater fool can deal with it, let them deal with it. People don’t want help. They want someone to blame.
