I'm not sure how this criticism is supposed to be valid. If someone robs a heroin dealer of their product, and the heroin dealer calls the police and honestly explains their situation then of course the police are going to arrest and charge both the third and the dealer - regardless of the fact that the latter was a victim of theft.

Yeah, it does mean crime becomes carte blanche to do against criminals of a certain caliber. But that's the consequence of deciding to live one's life outside the law.

If the crimes discussed on the phone are trivia in relation to rape (e.g. shop lifting, drug use) I highly doubt the police would bother prosecuting those crimes. How many minors who were raped while.drunk got charged with consu ing alcohol underage? I don't know of any, and the outrage over doing so would be immense.
