California law states: “Officers can rely on reports of other persons in order to issue a citation for a misdemeanor or infraction. They do not have to personally witness the offense, but they do have to have some information from some real person in order to substantiate probable cause”
easiest thing in the world to look up
The cops can investigate anything with reasonable suspicion
A phone call is not a police report.
I didnt say they couldnt.
Excuses.
If they can nuke comments in minutes, they can nuke threads in minutes. They aren’t.
But you don’t see the consequences…
skeptical pikachu
I said reports of other persons. Not a police report lmao
Cmon now
911 - 911, what is your emergency?
WoW player - Someone used a curse word, please mobilize the swat team.
You feel a random person calling in and saying “I saw soandso swerving” is enough, on its own, to get a ticket and have it hold up?
Are you going to show up in court as a witness?
I’ve had a ticket thrown out for a cop seeing me speed.
If they call on me to do so, yes.
I literally gave you an exact excerpt of a single state’s law that literally proves that police can act based on testimony alone. I’m not sure why you’re still fighting me on this issue
Because we both know there is more to it than that.
Eyewitness testimony from one person is rarely enough to convict anyone of anything in this regard. An eye witness report from a cop is not even enough.
But please pretend that a single random phone call is enough. Could you imagine the chaos that would ensure if it was?
I am sure you have another tv show to cite.
The karens in these threads always shock me. Shouldn’t you be down at the local park, calling the cops because somebody’s kids are playing and you don’t like it?
Hacks team handles the anti-cheating detection and ban waves.
GMs handle the social infractions based on player reports.
Two very different teams.
I hope others are at least enjoying their Sunday. Coffee, sunny weather, and trick or treating in game so I can get the cosmetics I want. Heh. Perfect relaxed chilling between flight points. 
You’re hurt that I proved you wrong, I guess.
I’ve done all I needed to do to prove you’re lacking the necessary knowledge to engage here further. It’s on you to refute what I’ve given you.
You sound like a flat earther that was just given several instances of the earth being round and you still cling
What in the world are you even talking about. How is this in any way related to the thread.
You people always looking to argue about the absolute dumbest crap. So weird.
I am not hurt at all and you havent proven anything.
“I cited tv cop shows” isnt the knowledge you think it is.
What california law do you cite?
You are mixing up convictions with justification to send an officer to investigate something. YES, a 911 call reporting suspicious or dangerous activity is justification in many areas to investigate. This is how people have cops show up when they are watering the flowers for a neighbor - and another neighbor calls the cops to investigate.
No, I am not.
Never debated it, and it is my entire point.
Once again.
I will try to explain it.
If I report someone in game, they get judged on the specific action they committed. A GM can see exactly what I saw and judge their actions as needing consequences or not.
If I “call the cops”, the cops show up and look for future actions. Things other than what I saw. If the person in question does not mess up again, they do not get in trouble.
Here, I’ll do all the work for you since you can’t handle it yourself. I’ll give you an exact case to read.
2006 case of People v. Wells 38Cal. 4th1078
Witness testimony on a drunk driver, police intercepted, arrested, and prosecuted.
I appreciate you being willing to put out the evidence that supports your statement.
But I am not asking for a case. I asked for the law.
I also appreciate the case you cited fully supports my statement.
But they did not arrest her because of the call. They stopped her because of the call. And she was “punished” due to future actions.
They arrested her because she failed a field sobriety test and literally had drugs on her.
