In Texas filing a false report is a crime and can result in fines and/or imprisonment. Details:

Furthermore, anyone who files a false report can be sued in civil court.
“The system flagged a gun, please check it out” is not a false report.
It might be, depending on the integrity of "the system".
I can make a system that flags stuff, too. That doesn't mean it's any good. If they can show there was no reasonable cause then they've got a leg to stand on.
It’s the literal truth. How can that be a false report? A false report means you reported something you know to be untrue, not that you relayed bad information.
