If you are suspcious of these claims soley because you have done "the crime" and gone unnoticed--then you are naive to the point of being stupid.
The essence of power is to know what others are doing and to have a means of controlling it.The policing powers of American cops were made weak for a reason--power tends to corrupt.
If you ever care to see dumb in action,do something "suspicious" like walking late at night.Cops will be full of stupid questions,just for you.
Dumb-bell clerks are perfect reporters of "crimes":they would not know one way or another what constitutes one.
In addition it makes them "a crime fighter" in thier minds and the battle is won.
They would not think of slowing down to help an attack victim,but this way the can do it-and feel good.
I refer you to "No guts,no glory" as a proper guage of crime fighting.
What you have when clerks are rats is a lessening of the rule of law,not a bolstering of it.
