Even if they know it's not legit, much safer to show up anyway, career-wise at least.
- defrost 3y ago> and they all face disciplinary action for dereliction of duty. I can find no examples that this happens to US Police. In several minutes of skimming forums with US Police commenting on variations on this question they seem to all agree that it is safer, career wise, to do nothing than it is to do something that they can be blamed for or that can be viewed as insubordinate, etc.
- metalcrow 3y ago> dereliction of duty The supreme court has actually explicitly ruled that the police have no such duty.
- standardUser 3y agoTell that to their boss. You don't think cops get in trouble at work for ignoring important calls?

- al_borland 3y agoI think it’s a question of how they show up. After the pattern has been establish, they this is a prank, it should be more of a wellness check than kicking down doors.
