Would you ring crimecall if you knew somebody they were looking for?

freshpopcorn

I probably would ring and give the persons name in most cases. The only ones I would be cautious about would be a gangland case.
I don't think my town has ever featured on the programme even when it was called crimeline.
I did have a dream as a child I was on it tough because I was in a shop with my mother at the checkout and I flicked a switch on the till beside me and it appeared to have powered off.
Would you ring crimecall if you knew somebody they were looking for?
Or were you ever on it?

I was going to call them when they showed a photofit of the sexiest man in Ireland one night but then I realised I was looking in a mirror.

Charlie19

I've rang crime-call....

Just to let them know. how annoying Philip Boucher Hayes is.

Yep. I'd call them.

I once chased a junkie who had mugged an eighty year old lady in broad daylight.

He gave me the slip across a very busy road. But, my detailed and accurate description of him caught up with him. He got six months.

Does that make me a " Grass " and a bad bastard?

Would there be a reward?

If they were wanted for anything gangland related the garda would already know their names.

It depends, I suppose. If they were wanted for ****ting in Bertie Ahern's garden then no I wouldn't. Those bastards that they are after showing robbing that old woman's pension I'd shop them in a heartbeat.

I'd have no problem ratting someone out. Maybe that would change if I was actually involved in something (for example if my husband (hypothetical) robbed a bank I might not, who knows.

But a random scum on the street? ****ed if I care. They don't get to treat people like dirt, rob and steal from them and then assume society owes them some moral code to stay quiet.

Maybe if it were low-call or freephone.

Well put.

No worries, scumbags don't become less of a scumbag just because it happens to be someone who I know.

I sit watching hoping I know someone just so I can call:D
The 2 that stole the womans pension tonight...I so hope they are caught! The way they did it you just know its something they do a lot:mad:

It would depend on what the crime was really e.g. if the person was in the frame for a major gold bullion/diamond heist I'd probably try & blackmail them for a share of the loot before doing anything so square as calling the fuzz.

Call them first, so they could tell me where they were, obviously.

Only if they had burned me on a 20 spot deal. Wreck my buzz,

Let's be honest,
If some scumbag gets shown on Crime Call, more calls would be made by people from he knows to let him know he was on Crime Call, than to the actual show itself.

So, traffic analysis would pinpoint him/her even if no-one dropped a dime...

Well I remember watching it two months ago and some scumbag robbed a shop. Caught on camera. Clear as day. Great CCTV. If you knew him, you wouldn't be mistaken.

So don't know what you mean by traffic analysis

Esel

The car is outside now...

B.A._Baracus

.... ok

Esel

Wear Chelsea boots (slip-ons anyway); trousers that don't need a belt; warm top. Try to get some sleep.

B.A._Baracus

You feeling alright Esel? :pac:

denhaagenite

After much soul searching I did one time. Apparently the person actually saw themselves and went to the station of their own accord. It was a terribly violent assault and very shocking to watch, also an escalation of previous crimes. Afaik they got a year.

Lavinia

I probably would but only depending on what the crime the person was involved with was. lol
There's no that option on the pole so didn't vote.
