we had a loose dog show up on our security camera. I sent the pics & vids to our local police. I wasn't making any assumption that they wouldn't do anything, or couldn't do anything. I merely reported what I saw & where I saw it. it was up to them to either do something or not. later in the day, they contacted me to thank me for the pics & vids & that the dog was reunited w/ it's owner. they didn't say my pics & vids had anything to do w/ it. it's not my job to connect the dots, but if we don't provide the dots, the ppl whose job it is to connect the dots, won't have any dots to connect
if someone comes racing out of the woods on an illegal ATV after they committed a crime & the popo has a clue where they went, that's a good thing. I have no idea what happened prior to what I saw, only what I saw
how severe would someone person's actions have to be, before we said something, or did something? what's our threshold?
