In my experience we treated the nutty requests with full respect -- but they tied up the system. We had a full office dedicated to responding to requests but it still was a slow process. It was a poisoned well in the sense that it was the public with unreasonable requests that messed it up for others in the public. Most of the games I've seen were at local and state level where the sheriff or police chief would just say "nah" or ignore with no accountability.
