in Montreal and New York, it is possible to …

It may sound crazy, and yet. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the Montreal and New York police forces have set up online whistleblower tools. From now on, the inhabitants of these two cities can report any situation affecting the instructions in connection with the Covid-19, reports Metro Montreal: a gathering, neighbors who receive in their homes, businesses opened without permission or failure to respect safety distances.

The goal is not to encourage denunciation, specifies the Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal (SVPM). “We don’t want people to spend the day at the window looking at what their neighbor is doing. This is not the aim of the exercise, ”André Durocher, spokesperson told AFP.

The goal is actually to unblock emergency telephone numbers, taken over by people who want to denounce inappropriate behavior.

To avoid anonymous reporting, reporters should provide their name, address and phone number. The principle is the same on the platform set up by the New York police.
