      I don’t know - but I’m willing to get the instances where people were saved weren’t calls from anonymous voip numbers.

        Not sure why your intuition would go there, I can imagine situations where the caller would feel/be threatened if they didn’t remain anonymous. After hearing about people suing for helping them in emergency situations and police abusing people’s rights to get evidence then if I felt I had to report something I’d want to remain anonymous.

      If there is a serious situation like human trafficking then it makes more sense. Also if they might blow down the door in a drug bust

      • @possiblylinux127 @tabular , well, regarding a married couple I know, the wife was away taking care of her granddaughter for a bit, came back to her husband having sketchy people in their home while she was gone. The wife wanted the police to sweep the house for drugs and alleged these people probably brought drugs in their home. The police said there was nothing they can do. Lovely double standards.
        Edit: Also, you could smell the pot off the people easily. They were definitely stoned.
