Who would do this? Just spam false reports on this form that takes just a couple minutes to fill out?
Edit: this is a very serious PSA. If you are wasting people’s time and resources, they won’t pursue your leads if they are obviously false. They need to be realistic. But like… don’t waste their time, that would be mean and maybe illegal
It would terrible for anyone to file a false report.
Especially if they use full sentences explaining a mundane part of their day, a random Dollar General address in Utah as well as the phone number.
If they make it look like what could be a legitimate report, it would be difficult for the system to weed out reports.
I hope no one does that. As I said, it would be terrible.
I was thinking maybe the names of certain Utah politicians who have definitely been seen using the "wrong" bathroom.
Generative AI, your time to shine.
