Because, even in the worst areas, the scumbags are still the minority of the population. I live in one of those areas, and I've been asked, why don't you give the police information?

And when I have chanced upon information, finding a way to pass on the information is pretty much impossible. I understand the tipline, but any information I might get would need to be passed
