The program, a partnership between Crime Stoppers and law enforcement agencies, will offer a $500 reward when an anonymous tip leads to the arrest of a person in possession of an illegal firearm...
Initial rewards in the fund will be paid through the sale of candies, confections and other items bought by prisoners in the Marion County Jail.
So if I want to get rid of a rival gang member, all I need to do is phone in an anonymous tip and let "The Only Ones" do my dirty work for me? Or if I'm a cop and I don't really have enough probable cause to stop and search someone, I can do the same? Nice end run around the Constitution, that one!
How fitting that this criminal activity will be financed by criminals--oh, and also prisoners...
