Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
LOL I wouldn't worry. Even if someone did call in a tip. They wouldn't do anything. You posted on a public forum uncircumstantial evidence that you may know of a felon through hearsay? It would cost actual money to prove that said felons are actual felons and said felons actually possess said firearms that you "heard" about.Originally Posted by Goodburbon
Exactly. Fremont would also be a little out of their jurisdiction.
You miss the whole point. It doesn't matter what Fremont does with it, what matters is that the right thing was done, and quite frankly if I wasn't beaten to it I would have done the same thing.
You did a little more than state that criminals don't obey laws, you presented a very nonchalant and apathetic view towards an event that you yourself were involved in. Like it or not, someone told you they had committed a felony, and gave you details as to the what and where. Enough for a search warrant? Nope, but that's not your job. Your job is to do the right thing. If someone else drops the ball your hands are still clean. Taking an apathetic and haphazard approach of "Meh, not my problem." especially when the views you've presented here, about ignoring crimes of illegal firearm purchases and possession by convicted felons can color the forum and its members in a very negative light.
How do you know they aren't currently under investigation? What if that's a missing piece of the puzzle? What if they are being investigated for something totally different and giving them the heads up about the involvement of weapons saves someone's life? Wait...what's wrong with me, not my problem right?
I apologize, I don't know what came over me. It was totally absurd of me to be concerned about a convicted felon in possession of an AK and a Glock. Carry on, nothing to see here, I'm going to go outside now and try to nab me a J walker.
So lets pretend that you are being a "decent citizen" and reporting something that should be reported. They could be being investigated for rape or murder. But more then likely it's drugs (over 80%). It's no secret the cartels have infiltrated our justice system and kill people to protect their drugs I actually can provide statistics and percentages here but it's a very small number as most drug king pins don't entrust millions of dollars worth of drugs with random people...? The cartels use fully automatic rifles, often. They traffic drugs in dead corpses. We have whole DEA teams who track said individuals who traffic this shit and usually don't get a conviction (it's funny what good legal representation and money can buy.)
At the end of the day you're more then likely just causing a PRODUCTIVE US citizen who is legal, legal problems. Which are costly. Is it funny that one could report you for said offenses and you would be treated the same way? Meaning ANYONE could say hey i heard fucking lead_magnet is trafficking improvised explosive devices. You would likely be tied up in court for years, any income you made would likely goto legal costs unless you're independently wealthy. Even if you were independently wealthy you would be in the "system" for years.
Dear Mr sheriff. Someone on the internet whose reported location is in fremont CO has said that he overheard felons tell saying that they have guns. Kthxbye.
See something, say something.

Well, with all due respect, it might be in your best interest to delete or change your original post. There is a little known federal statute in 18 USC 4 called "Misprision of Felony" sometimes used to apply pressure to family members and associates of individuals under investigation. What this means is that, if you have direct knowledge of a federal felony and either conceal it or fail to report it, that is a crime one can be prosecuted for. However, hearsay or an overheard bit of conversation taken out of context does not constitute "direct knowledge." You do not know this to be factual, and it is possible you misheard or misunderstood or they were either confabulating or discussing some other guy or even something they saw in a film. You do not know for a fact they are prohibited persons, and you have not seen them in possession of a firearm . . . if that were so, you might have something to worry about. Everything you post here can be subpoenaed, your IP address can be tracked to your physical location, and several BATFE agents are members here . . . actually, I'd be surprised if at least one wasn't a moderator.
this! lead you should try to get on the force out in jersey you would fit right inSee something, say something.
