I overheard some guy on the bus say he was going to burn his church down, like he was going through the details of it with a guy on the phone. He thought I was asleep but i was just shutting my eyes, we were the only ones in the back of the bus. If i tell the police anonymously can they even do anything about it since there is no trail. Im pretty sure he's going to get away it it.
>>34395729God will stop it
>>34395729it's just a church, nothing of value will be lost
>>34395744yea, naw lol>>34395753idgaf about the church but this guy seems like a real piece of shit, he said he was going to do it at night so the cameras cant recognize him then ditch on foot, do you think theyll catch him themselves or prolly not
>>34395729Churches can be rebuilt. That guy's soul cannot. He'll burn along with the church one day
>>34395753>t. Mohammed
Report it. At minimum they can probably figure out what he looks like from checking cameras on the bus you were on. There's also plenty they can do with the fact that it took place on a phone, the fact the guy has a phone, and more. Just share what you can to them and then let them take it from there.
>>34395729It's much more likely that you'll be able to help if you don't try to conceal your identity.
>>34396046>There's also plenty they can do with the fact that it took place on a phonehow?>>34396017god forgives haha>>34396084why?
>>34396098>why?They'll have questions for you.
>>34396098Police love to skirt around getting warrants by buying data/ asking companies to give them data. I don't have all the details for you, but I promise you that shouldn't be a problem. Like >>34396084 says without an anonymous tip they have a good shot of finding the guy. Basically, the idea being that you need to be available for them to ask follow-up questions.
>>34396117why do i have to reveal my identity to answer questions?>>34396121how the fuck would they find one random guy though with no information except the bus time and vague description
>>34396229>whySo they can speak to you and ask you questions.>howAre you a police officer? Are you planning on finding him yourself? Do you have the same tools they have? No? Didn't think so. Instead of asking how and delaying what you allegedly set out to do, do it. You've already gotten answers explaining that they can find him and having the ability to ask you follow-up questions will help. They only have a chance to find him if you actually speak to them. At this point you're just looking for an excuse to not make that call.
>>34396229>why do i have to reveal my identity to answer questions?Are you actually retarded? Because otherwise they can't find you to ask the questions! They can't possibly know everything they will need to ask you when you make your initial report; they need to investigate a bit, then get back to you and ask some more. >>34396229>how the fuck would they find one random guy though with no information except the bus time and vague descriptionBuses have CCTV cameras. That gives them a picture and a time. They can also get a list of the phones that were making calls in that area at that time, and determine which ones switched phone masts in a way that matches the movements of the bus. There are various other possibilities too. Now, are you going to wait until *after* the guy has burned down the school and murdered someone before you tell the police what you know, and spend the rest of your life thinking about how you could have saved someone from being burned to death but didn't? Or are you going to get up off your fat, ignorant ass and tell them now? Stop wasting time and do the right thing for once.
>>34396349what country are you from?
>>34396349are you telling me every single phone call ever made is recorded and with vague description like time and place they can just rummage through a fuckton of recorded phone calls with nothing more than "probable cause", man the state is so fuckin corrupt lol
>>34395729Cops ain’t gonna do shit. Mind your own business or they’ll probably start watching you. Talking on the phone is not a crime.
>>34396391>are you telling me every single phone call ever made is recorded and with vague description like time and place they can just rummage through a fuckton of recorded phone calls with nothing more than "probable cause"Preventing a large public building from being burned down, possibly with people inside it, would certainly justify that, yes. And of course every call ever made is logged. They don't necessarily record the audio, but the fact that a call was made from one number to another is logged; of course it is. Otherwise how could your provider give you an itemized phone bill?
>>34397313oh so no audio?
