I don't report crime to cops because they give your name/address to the criminal who is bailed out.

Star 67 (*67) and dial the business line, press 1 for dispatch, talk fast, then hang up.

Yeah law enforcement is a joke, they're only interested in arresting people with money/jobs who can pay into the system. That's why most "criminals" are immediately released, they're broke bums. Why would the man want to put a roof over someone's head that needs it?

not actually true

the only way to find that out is through discovery, which is usually months after being bailed out

I'm a law abiding citizen, but always ask for a lawyer even you're completely guilty. This is the mistake that so many criminals often make. Btw, I hate criminals. You should never hurt anyone unless you're defending yourself. The guy that shot the mall shooter dead is a hero.

and asking the cop...

only dispatch would know the address, a cop would have to look up your info from the case file database. if the criminal bribed the cop for the info then there’s bigger problems than this anyway
