Can you expand a little on how calling the police about something is more or less self righteous than doing the (at least somewhat dangerous) experiment on a public highway?

Never talk to the police. At least in places like St-Louis and other cities with historically bad police departments (most of the US).

It's interesting how you view this issue. If the researchers are more self-righteous than the person calling in, it justifies the latter?

No, it just makes directing that line of criticism at the caller pretty inane.
