[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 731218, member: 18044"] Why assume that Raw's call to the police delayed their response to a real emergency. First, the chances of a real emergency occuring at the same time is very low. Second, there are other police on duty to handle the emergency. Third, police are trained to break off from a low priority call if a true emergency is announced nearby. Fourth, there's a 50% chance that the police are now [U]closer[/U] to the real emergency as a result of Raw's call, and so Raw would be a lifesaver by your logic. (In the other 50%, where the patrol car is now further away, the rest of the patrol cars would have been repositioning so as to maintain proper overall coverage of the city and maintain acceptable response time.) Of course, no one should ever call in a false report. That would be wrong, and illegal. [/QUOTE]
