    @Benhm3 Crimestoppers is a Canadian police program (public). They contracted a private company to process all their tips.

    Edit: it's not. See reply from Jerome below.

    @mayintoronto @Benhm3 im
    Not familiar with the org but CBC says they are registered with the CRA as non profit and: Crime Stoppers is a network of civilian-run non-profits that collects anonymous tips on crime and suspicious activity. It operates independently of law enforcement, though it refers a portion of tips back to them to assist in investigations

    I saw their signs before. Thought it was a police service but looks somewhat independent

    @mayintoronto @jerome

    There's a US corp that controls the worldwide corp, that has in-country corps. (I am NOT an MBA.) All non-profit, but someone's benefiting. That they get apparently licensed cops to do sales is, well, hat's off to them.

    But I propose we put them in the "scum of the earth" category, pending eventual admission to the "Outright Villains" group.
