The reporting numbers are public and may be monitored by the police.

If you are using Twitter, a record of your message will be published on your Twitter page.

If you are taking pictures or video, respect other people’s desire not to be filmed. Pictures and video can often help people prove their innocence when arrested, however they can also incriminate people, so think about what you shoot and be aware the police sometimes try to confiscate recording equipment, media and film.
