Years ago I spotted a guy who was wanted by the FBI. I had just seen his photo on TV a few hours before and holy shit there he was down by the river in the park where I lived. So like an idiot I called 911 like the TV instructed me to do.
Holy fuck that was a mistake.
At that time I didn't think anything of it, so I gave them my name, address and everything else they asked for. Then I hung up and waited. And waited. And waiting. The guy hung for for about two hours then I lost him. The police never came so I went home. The next day the FBI is beating on my door, busting my balls about what I saw and my phone call!!!! It was like an interrogation and I was hiding the guy in my basement or something.
Never, ever, again will I call a tip line to catch a criminal.
