There might be a version of this system that works, but currently Citizen is not it. I suspect that nobody will be able to get it right until they remove the money and focus on credible reporting.

User posts should be given the same credibility as a stranger on facebook or twitter. Even user posts are "real", unless you think they are psyops/bots.

There are many many many instances of assholes and busybodies calling 911 to report a crime when the reality was that they were irrationally upset a black person was in the park. We have videos of these exact people pulling guns on someone with no justification.
