First of all, I have been a firm supporter of LEO for some time.
A couple of months ago I saw something I thought was sketchy, a guy in a pickup full of catalytic converters (harvesting has been an issue here from what I have heard) appeared to be selling them to someone else in a parking lot. I called it into dispatch, they seemed to be way more interested in who I was, DOB, address, etc, etc.
I asked if all this was really necessary to call in a tip, he said "have a nice day" then hung up on me.
Not sure if this is par for the course but doesn't make me want to call anything in. Had a talk with another gun guy (former LEO) that had a similar experience.
Were you talking to a dispatcher or a police officer?
