Is a report on Australian gun control and crime statistics true?

Firstly the reporting of crime is a duty of good citizenship and helps obtain a little more value from the taxes we all pay.

The reporting of crime provides important intelligence to the police and other public services so crime trends can be monitored, resources reassigned and performance statistics compiled.

Reporting crime sometimes leads to a solution to a problem, the prosecution of an offender.

On the downside, reporting crime can be time-consuming, sometimes incurring expense and often with no tangible result and often with officers being less than grateful. There is also the possibility of reprisals from an offender...

Follow these five steps:

1. • 1 Locate the serial number for the gun you want to check. If you are purchasing a gun or checking one that is already in your possession, you can check the documentation that came with the gun. In many cases, the serial number will be noted in the owner's manual. If you don't have the owner's manual you will need to locate the serial number on the body of the gun. The serial number is usually located on the handle or inside the gun, but this does vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
     
   • 2 Contact a reputable gun dealer in your area and ask them to run a serial number search for you if you're looking to buy a gun from a private party. In most cases, the dealer will charge you a small fee for this service. However, this is often the fastest, simplest method. Many gun dealers will be able to give you basic records about where and when the gun was registered.
     
   • 3 Check your local department of law enforcement's website to see if you can run an online gun serial number search. Some states do not maintain a database that individuals can access, so this method may not work in all areas. If you can't find the database, contact a law enforcement representative and ask if an online gun serial number search can be performed in your state.
     
   • 4 Contact your local police department or sheriff's office to run a gun serial number search if you are looking to purchase a pre-owned gun from a dealer. Police records will indicate whether the gun has been used in a crime or has been reported lost or stolen. Checking the serial number with the police department or sheriff's office is beneficial if you're considering buying a gun from a dealer because they can quickly check whether a gun was used for a crime or reported stolen in all states using the national ATF database.
     
   • 5 Check the Gun Verify database if you are purchasing a pre-owned firearm from a dealer or individual to make sure that it is not stolen. Gun Verify is a user-based database, meaning gun owners input their own information if their gun is lost or stolen.

It depends on jurisdiction. Some localities have personal privacy laws which would enhance the charges of criminal tresspass, breaking and entering, etc. Of course, a crime is a crime whether it is reported or not, just as it is still a crime even if there are no witnesses. The likelihood of succesful prosecutions, however, depends upon citizen reports and credible eyewitnesses. Evidence also helps to convict. If you believe your privacy is being invaded, I would advise you to report this to your police department. If there is any physical evidence, such as the camera someone placed in your home, this would be invaulable to their investigation. I would also take steps to secure my privacy by changing locks, using blinds, and I would inspect my residence if I felt a neighbor was trying to invade my privacy. The best thing I believe you could do for yourself would be to report this to the police, for the deterrent value alone, if for no other reason.
