OOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!!!!
Seriously though (for Jayrow) I agree with What Limits. You have to know the particular circumstances of the callout.
I remember looking for a scroat who had nicked a bottle of booze from an off-license. Now normally you wouldn't consider it but in this case we were in the area, 5 minutes from base and it was reported he'd made off along the railway line at night, so a reasonable chance of spotting him. He is an offender, after all and where do you draw the line as to when you don't go looking for these people. What would PC Plod on the ground have thought if we had just continued to base over his head because his offender wasn't important enough for us? (No, we didn't find him)
