1: Good suggestion, but realistically you'd never ever open anything that interested you, if you adopted this policy. It's simply not a realistic suggestion. Get a good product that checks your eMail upon receipt.
2: Reporting anything these days gets a big fat "ho hum" from those you contact. I've contacted the FBI regarding issues and they couldn't be less interested.
3: Providing information is a joke, because the calls I've made were so insulting, they didn't even bother to take information. Believe me, I wouldn't call unless it was something very over the top. They didn't care.
4: Notice here they didn't provide an alternative idea that would feed into identifying the perp quickly? Don't capture a still frame only showing the face of the perp. I recognize the idea that viewing the material would be bad, but how do you identify this person rapidly without flooding the internet with this person's photo, so a person could recognize him/her and tell the authorities, who once again would just as likely yawn your ear off as not, when you call in?
Remember here: The quicker he/she is identified, the sooner the abuse ends. DUH!
5: Once again, I don't think these agencies have the slightest clue what the public faces when they call in. I've called in twice, and the persons taking the calls couldn't have been less interested. They took no information. They couldn't have cared less. It was infuriating.
The impression those calls left with me, was that I was a nobody, and they didn't need any help from nobodies. Never-mind the serious nature of what I was reporting.

If these agencies want help, they damn well need to clean up their act.
I can’t recall ever receiving a photo from a law enforcement agency asking if I had seen a certain individual.
Not once.
I’m not sure what process they use to find people, but it doesn’t make sense to me, if a broad segment of the public isn’t involved.
In the old days, they’d distribute photos of suspected/known criminals. Why don’t they use eMails to do that now?
Imagine people on FB passing on a picture to all their friends. “This guy is a child rapist. Do you recognize him?”
It would be like swatting. Good way to destroy someone.
