It’s criminalizing false police reports. Maybe it’ll get people to stop calling the cops just because they saw a black kid wearing a ski mask dancing in the street on his way home.
Sure if you want to criminalize blatantly false reports only it would theoretically be okay.
But what if you see a bunch of people doing something questionable about criminality. People' are fucked up and there's certainly a grey area where you can't tell if someone's getting assaulted/sexually assaulted or if they're just freaking acting like a spaz.
Regardless it's extraordinarily dangerous to make people hesitate about calling the police, about fear of being criminalized
Or you know a crazy mob of people on the internet hell bent on ruining your life
