Law enforcement should be able to submit reports that carry real weight.

I don't know why people would report this behavior to the app and not the police. But the apps should be telling people to file a police report and have the police contact them.

There are enough brain damaged people out there (and definitely on dating apps) that would file a baseless rape report for being stood up or lied to, so the bar should at least be with letting the police handle it.

Rape is underreported because this attitude is so prevalent. Reporting a rape is incredibly difficult and traumatizing and rarely leads to a conviction. It also exposes you to violence and harassment to the person who raped you in the first place.

		Parent comment meant that people would report rape on the app for trivial reasons, not that they would falsely report rape to the police.
