RAAFASA very valid point. I have a question though;

I have fortunately not busted airspace without a clearance as of yet however I am curious to know the leniency between you and your fellow controllers before you hop on the radio and track down the intruder.

I do my best at all times to maintain spatial awareness of airspaces, but if I say clip a step on descent or infringe on CTA in the vicinity of the boundary should I expect a VCA or just a kindly reminder?

Now I understand every situation is unique and there are many variables, but I am curious to know. Not so I can push the rules but if I ever find myself in a situation like above, what would you as a controller appreciate the pilot doing? Letting you guys know or expediting the area unannounced?
