The burden of proof shifts to me to prove that I wasn't doing what was reported and I don't want to go there.
How stuff like that is handled may vary in your locale, but in mine there has to be multiple calls coming in about it, also call takers/dispatchers are coached on how to weed out the cranks & sourpusses. If there is a response at all, it'll be downgraded to a return phone call, where the officer screens the complainer some more to see if it's even worth a report. After open carry came about there was a pretty good jump on crank gun calls, which followed a predictable and recognizable pattern of verbiage. The cry wolf stuff got old pretty fast.
