I guess one last question, if someone calls in a guy with a gun, are you (the PD in general) required to check it out? Lets say a lib says that there is a suspicious guy walking down the street with a gun on his hip.
Generally yes. It may depend on your jurisdiction, however we respond to every single call for service no matter how selective we would want to be. This goes back to the neutrality and the government service. We can't pick and choose. A citizen called in a suspicious person we will have to respond.

Imagine if it sounded like nothing and we didn't go and this guy shoots up a building full of people...we would be held accountable that we didn't respond and investigate
