I wouldn't walk into the OJ Simpson house and start tromping through blood and then say "yup something has gone down here, dead body, better make sure she's not playing dead - before i call the police"
I'd then be charged with tampering with evidence.
I think you are missing the obvious middle ground. As a white person, your responsibility is to NOT CALL. That's the purpose of the law. IF you WANT to report something you think is a crime, then it is your responsibility to prove it. You are free to not report.
That bold part is patently false, if that's the case than I should also be the person in the courtroom trialing the case as the Judge, jury, DA, and executioner.
It's what the propose new law is. I'm confused where you are missing this. You keep saying "should" and stuff like that. I'm just telling you what the new law is stated as being worded to be (obviously, we are going by how the wording is reported, the law isn't written yet and likely will be changed.) But the stated, proposed law is what it is. ANything "should" isn't relevant. We are just discussing the proposed reality, not an ideal state that doesn't exist or isn't proposed.

The courts, prove or disprove guilt
The police, jail and collect evidence of suspects
The community has no bearing on either of the above two.Correct. But that's not really here nor there in the discussion.
It absolutely is because and I quote "IF you WANT to report something you think is a crime, then it is your responsibility to prove it".
It isn't the citizen's responsibility to prove jack-diddly

If this law passes I assume we are also getting rid of the Judicial system in NYS than. . . because that is what this law would have us do.

Nothing here is confusing. It's all very wide open and obvious. This simply makes certain citizens responsible for being able to prove a crime for certain circumstances. The judicial system is clearly unaffected as it still applies to normal crimes, and is needed to prove if the reporters are criminal. Nothing weird here. Horribly unethical, sure. But this is a super simple law (as described in the reports) and no reason for all this confusion. It simply does exactly what is stated, no extended changes to other laws.

My guess is that Netflix serves them in such a way that they are just another show.

That's not suggestive. Only a small number of people see them no matter what right now.

They're not ads in the sense we think of with ad blockers. They're inserting a few seconds of previews for Netflix programming during the 15 second countdown between episodes when you binge a series.

Exactly, it's just part of the show. No way, I would think, that an ad blocker could detect them.

Ah yeah, in that case I wouldn't have seen them anyways.
Just watched a single movie.

Isn't harassment already a crime?
I believe that a lot of laws are passed to try to outlaw people being ASSHOLES. It won't work.
