We're the Only Ones Retaliating Enough

Kansas ‘retaliation’ bill would allow police to arrest people who complain about officers [More]
While I don't agree with special privileges for any class of citizen, I do believe in equal protection for all. So if someone is knowingly and maliciously filing false reports, if it rises to the bar for libel that the rest of us could sue for, the falsely-accused cop(s) should do what the rest of us would do.

The question also arises about expending resources reacting to a false report. Didn't Martha Stewart and Scooter Libby get in trouble for lying during official investigations?

As for anonymous tips, hey, sow the wind and guess what can happen?

Me, I'm worried more about lies coming from the enforcement side...
