How does one go bout reporting drug or criminal activity? can i do it anonymously for fear of the safety of my young children?

Under basic principles of freedom, a person has the fundamental right to live his life in any way he chooses so long as his conduct is peaceful and doesn't violate the equal right of everyone else to do the same.

Under what moral authority do you have to report a person who is doing nothing more than ingesting substances that other people disapprove of? Do You have incontrovertible proof or a just a suspicion ?

There are people who consider the consumption of meat to be harmful. Should the you have the authority to report them for eating of meat? How about sugar? Fatty foods?

Why shouldn't people be free to make those choices on their own? Why should a person's consumption habits be subject to the vote of the majority? Why isn't the exercise of such choices a fundamental right with which no one can legitimately interfere?

Will do-gooders ever stop finding problems caused by society? Not likely. If you are a General, you need wars to fight. If you are a surgeon, you need patients to operate on. And, if you are a do-gooder, you need good works to do. So, if there isn't an obvious problem that needs fixing, you must create one.
Don't  look at society and select something that seems to be "inappropriate" and make it an issue.

The issue is not whether people's choices adversely affect others. The issue is whether the choice is a peaceful one — that is, one that does not involve the initiation of force against another person (e.g., murder, rape, robbery). If the choice is peaceful, then a free society ensures that its exercise is protected regardless of its adverse effect on others.

ok well lets c where to begin.....i dont have a problem w anyone doin anythn so long as they dnt involve me or try to involve my children but when they try to get my 5 yr old to smoke a blunt n then cuss me out after i ask them to plz not do that to my child or anyone elses minor child or when my older child tells me that this person has shown him how to roll a bill n crush a pill n snort it then i think i should be calling. i understand that children r goin to c things on tv the internet or possibly do it themselves when they get older but no one should be doin those things to children that r very young n undr the age of 18. N its not a suspicion, i dnt point fingers or accuse without evidence.

ANCAP, you my friend are awake and seeing the world in the light of day. I also see may others that are emerging into the real world from their media induced slumber.

I salute you my friend!

Anyone who has information regarding neglect or abuse due to parents engaging in illegal drug use have a moral and legal obligation to report such incidents to protect innocent children. Yes ADULTS have the right to do whatever it is that makes them happy but when it places a child in jeopardy then they are to be held accountable for neglect/abuse or injury due to their life choices. This is simple if you want to live your life and not be expected to answer for the way you live your life then do not subject children to a harmful lifestyle.
Since above posters are so super intelligent maybe you should check out the statistics on the horrific abuses and neglect to children due to parental drug and alcohol use. No one can argue you the point if a parent is under the influence of drugs they are being a responsible and safe parent. How many children die or are hospitalized because they found mom and dad's "stash". How many meth addicts sexually assault and kill young children while under the influence. How many pill heads drop babies or are just too messed up to adequately take care of the children. How many drugs addicts can take care of their families and financially support their drug habit. If you aren't rich there is no possible way. So please continue on. If you have so many issues with the drug laws in the United States then go elsewhere. Oh wait you don't have the money to move because you're living off SSI or some other government funded aid probably getting medicaid and foodstamps while you sit back play video games and gripe about insignificant bullsh*t. Or you're selling on the side. Get a career get off your butt and go live with the Rainbow Family.

So let me make myself perfectly clear: drugs are bad. But this doesn't mean that there should be a law against doing any drug. And it is a myth that those who favor marijuana legalization or drug decriminalization just want to get high without being hassled by the police.  I will have to take you at your word that your child was solicited by this individual. Since I don't know your curium stance I won't judge you, but perhaps more involvement in who has contact with your child is in order. That being said keep your children away and let this individual do what he pleases.

The catchphrase of  "love it or leave it," which means, in the parlance of idiots everywhere, that anyone who happens to doubt the government’s greatness or legitimacy should expatriate. The phrase is invariably used in a last-ditch attempt to avoid having to confront political ideas that are challenging or uncomfortable. Unfortunately for the idiot, and I suppose this is part of what makes him an idiot to begin with, the phrase is as absurd as it is overused.

What also escapes his notice is the circularity of his reasoning in trying to use the phrase "love it or leave it" as a serious argument. But, the phrase itself assumes that the government and its policies are legitimate from the outset, because it assumes
1) that dissenters are the ones who should leave, and
2) that the dissenter’s only legitimate options are to love the government as it now stands or to leave.

If these are not assumed to be the dissenter’s only legitimate options, then what’s the problem with hating the government? But, how could those be the dissenter’s only legitimate options unless government itself is assumed to be legitimate? In other words, the idiot’s only argument to defend the legitimacy of the government boils down to nothing more than saying "government is legitimate because government is legitimate." Needless to say, unless one is speaking to an idiot, this sort of circular reasoning is silly and absurd.

It completely escapes the notice of the idiot that the question of what dissenters can or should do is completely irrelevant to the question of whether or not the there should be a law against doing any drugs.

Just leave? Sorry, try again.

"Let me make myslef clear:drugs are bad" Do you think so? Why not make drunk driving legal? You can live in your fairy tale land, but as for drug users and sellers, we should round up the whole bunch, get them off their high and then let every parent who has lost a child due to drugs or a drunk driver have their way with them for about an hour or more. Drugs are regulated and otherwise illegal for a reason. People abuse them and cause danger for others, because they aren't going to think in their right mind. So ANCAP, get off your high and come back to the real world.

Why do you let your children go around these people? Your kids should be at home with you and then you will know that they are safe! Why would you leave a 5yr. old kid alone with someone who you think is a drug dealer?

Stay informed. Set your security to the max on facebook! Encrypt your hard drive.

Example; Russell county cops have facebook pages. You simply go to the county website and get a list of the officers names and look at their facebook pages.
Pull up their friend list and save a copy as a PDF file so even if they set their privacy so it is un-viewable you will still have a list of friends, known associates and potential RATS.
Now if they already have their privacy set you can make up a fake personality with a fake picture and an interesting story so they will add you as a friend then you can view their information.
You can us this tactic to provide miss-information or other things to waist their time and money on bogus crap.
A fun thing to do is park somewhere and look suspicious. you can learn a lot about the cops, their movement and the people who call them with this tactic. This only works if you are well schooled in your legal rights. You need to assert your rights when confronted but the information you are looking for about rats and cops is worth it.
Get in their business and personal lives. Knowledge is power and the more hooks you get in them the less likely they will want to come around where they run the risk of getting jammed up.

A little anarchy goes a long way.

Be the monkey-wrench in the machine!

look into an RF detector but make sure you get a good one. They are getting smart and use "hoppers" that jump from frequency to frequency. The 10 gig "superbug" is now in use and the older RF detectors will not find it.

They have some other things they are doing but I will not talk about it because of countermeasures that are being used.

Cell phones should never be used... ever.

The best source of information is word of mouth. People love to talk and churches are a clearing house of information. I love a gossipy church lady!

You can even buy micro-transmitters cheap enough to ball up in a scrap of paper and drop them in a trash can the next time you have to go to the courthouse or have to sit in one of those cops office.

Keep the goons guessing.

923 hahaha, what a joke!
you are being watched.

you can call the sheriff's dept and block your number and tell them that you do not feel comfortable giving your name but could they look into it

these days they need all the help they can get

Pick the Washington DC field office.

If I were you I would go to a public library, Russell County, SVCC, VHCC or use your laptop in the parking lot of a place that has public internet service, McDonald's, or motel.

This way our local LE get involved at the end.

Grow some balls and stand up for you kid and don't be a coward. I real parent would never hesitate to take an issue like this to the police and be loud and proud about it. Wonder what else has gone on around your kid that shouldn't be. If you don't stand up for your child then who is going to? Change the company you keep and you shouldn't be afraid of a drug dealer or drug user you should make them afraid of you!

The problem you have in Russell County is that the cops are friends with so many druggies/dealers you risk telling them about one of their own and they will rat you out to the one you're reporting, then you will have all hell to pay. move out of county best solution

Being serious. I never have and never will understand why people don't go the whole nine yards for their children. And why when it comes to protecting your children would you need to do it anonymously. You as a parent are what these children have. They need you to protect them in everyway. I dam sure wouldn't let my child be around anyone high. I have nothing against people catching a buzz of any kind just leave the innocent and unprotected out of it. It just amazes me how people change when they are on drugs of any kind! And considering the fact that it alters people so much CHILDREN should not be present in these circumstances! Protect them! Love them, and CHERSISH them. It is not like you own them They are all gifts. And if you are lucky enough to have any you should automatically consider yourself Grateful and be willin to do anything for them. Calling the law or whoever you think protects you, I don't necessarly dissagree with But Protection should start at home with you as the parent. Just an opionon. Speak your voice, we still have that. However they take a little more away everyday. No matter what All children deserve our Voice, Our Protection, our love, and Guidence!

Legalize all drugs, and let God sort them out. 2 weeks tops and the majority will overdose and die. Then you wouldn't have to worry about it.

I agree with hotel California! As soon as drugs legalized and people can buy as much as they want of what they want when they want it. The population in this country would go wayyyy down! I personally don't have anything to do with drugs or alcohol but I know people that do. The world would be a better place without them in it!
