I guess that's a risk

. . . polygamists must be willing to take -- that someone will call in a false, but entirely believable report that spurs an investigation and verifies the claims made in the report.

Kinda like if a someone calls 911, falsely indicating they just bought drugs at a particular house. Police show up, and sure enough -- there are drugs there.

Think it'd work to argue in defense that the caller was lying?

Not likely.

The claims were proved FALSE! No charges were filed and all the children were returned to their families. The state of Texas wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars on a bogus call.
