I disagree, IF I call in and say that I see someone who looks suspicious to me, and the 911 operator does their job and questions me to see if my concern is at all founded, they can choose to not send out an officer if they determine there is no real risk. IF they have no choice, then I could call in and cause illegal searches all day long. So like the guy in the video said, if he sees someone he thinks is suspicious for some other reason that the officers do not agree with, they will dismiss it. He made a solid point.
we will surely never go back to the 2A side if guys like this give up and we don't support them......
I respect your perspective, but as a fully trained and certified Emergency telecommunications specialist I can say that you are exactly wrong.
The 911 operator/call taker will and should interegate the caller but has zero choice as to passing along the call to the police or not. The police make the decision to follow up on the call, not the call taker/dispatcher. IE, see the 'litigious society' comment again.
