    Anonymous tips are a thing. Call from a burner phone at a crowded bar, send an email from a temp mail site you accessed on public wifi using a laptop you bought that day from AliExpress that was shipped to a fake name and public addess that you then donate to goodwill. Create a mechanical pigeon out of scrap you find in the trash while wearing gloves whose entire purpose is to play an recorded message using a common AI voice tts that gets left outside a precinct by a bike courier that you paid in cash while wearing a mask.

    Be the slop drama hero the media has trained you to be since birth.
