Anti-crime tipsters can tell Boston cops what they know - without saying a word - by zipping off an anonymous text message on their cell phones, under a first-in-the-nation effort to battle a street subculture that punishes “snitches.”Never mind whether anonymous tip lines are a good idea or bad - how do you anonymously txt someone even if you want to, I'm wondering. You have to give up at least your phone number, don't you? Granted, we're talking here about the cops that blow up cartoons so maybe they know something I don't, but still. I have no idea.
