[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a student attending Jackson Reed whose family tells everyone she got in through the lottery 2 years ago. Now we all know that’s not true. I’d like to report them. Thanks. [/quote]

Can I have your home address so I can research reporting any home improvements without permits, immigration status of your family and people you employ, have the IRS look into your tax returns, and ensure neither you or yours is having an affair?[/quote]

DP but these things are not the same.

1) Unpermitted construction work can be hazardous. I have no issue with neighbors reporting work that appears to be dangerous or illegal, or is producing negative consequences for them. If a row home neighbor decides to do an unpermitted renovation, it could compromise the shared wall, produce construction debris or air pollution that negative impacts them, etc. I have zero issue with people reporting stuff like this -- just get the permits. Just attend your IB or use the lottery. Just follow the rules which exist for a reason.

2) Reporting someone's immigration status in the current political climate could get them violently injured, get their family separated permanently, result in them being shipped off to a prison in El Salvador to disappear. Reporting immigration status under our current laws and regime is immoral. If we had fair immigration laws and an administration who treated immigrants as human beings with rights, I might feel differently about this depending on the situation. But no one is going to be disappeared out of the country if they are reported for boundary fraud in DC. These are not the same.

3) I have no sympathy for tax cheats. Pay your taxes. I have no issue with people reporting known instances of tax fraud. It's really important that our tax system be fair and that people follow the rules. The vast majority of the time none of us have any idea what others are doing with their taxes so there is no reason to do anything, but if someone had real knowledge of tax fraud I'd have no problem with them reporting it to authorities. It's a crime.

4) An affair is not illegal and has nothing to do with anyone outside the marriage. But if a person suspects *their* spouse is having an affair, they are welcome to look into it IMO. The school system is not like a marriage between two people. It's a social good we all contribute to and are supposed to have access to. So a neighbor who suspects you of boundary fraud is more akin to a spouse who suspects you of cheating on them, than just some random person trying to nail you down for having an affair. The people who are adversely impacted by your immoral or fraudulent actions of course have a right to report them. If this bothers you, DON'T CHEAT.[/quote]
