This thing about them not getting the promised reward needs to go viral so in the future whenever someone's thinking of turning someone in to get the reward money, they'll know they're highly unlikely to get a damn thing.

The average citizen doesn't know, care, or even understand. Nor do they want to.

The average can shift marginally over time and this is a good start.

That's why everyone who cares needs to spread the word.

People don't need to care. They might share it as a fun factoid, they might just say that's crazy and never think about it again

Until they're in a position to get a reward... They'll care then. That little idea they heard in passing will pop up... Maybe it gives them pause.

$10k is pretty tempting for a lot of people...a chance at a $10k reward they've heard rarely is paid out is a lot less tempting

Maybe they Google it first, maybe they think twice about if the crime is worth reporting. Maybe they see the world in black and white and believe it to be their duty

It's worth spreading some information, even to people that don't care
