And they would have to lockup the 5000 or so people who sent in psychic tips.
Bingo!
I believe in such things. Also I know that some folks think they can, but don't. And then there are the others who have had a dream and think that this one time it might be related.. cause they heard such things happened with someone else.
Not reporting such things, makes some folks feel guilty. Like they know something and are holding it back. No way to know what is truth or not. The reality is, they get so much of such calls, it makes it see like unrealistic leads. And it is. 5,000? Way to many to check out on limited funds. However, if someone gets it right, they just made themselves the target of investigation. AFter seeing so many such leads that are false, no way will they believe the person just 'knew' it. So they are going to think the caller is involved.
Personally, I think I wouldnt' ever call such a thing in. I would be afraid I was right. I couldn't afford the stress of the cops trying to pin it on me.
