Surely we have to blame the police a little. (Procedures I mean, not individuals.) I mean, it's true that every anonymous call is a potential life-and-death situation, but it's equally true that every call is a potential prank.
To put it in a fire department metaphor, if someone anonymously calls in a fire, naturally you send out the trucks. But you need to check for smoke before you turn the hose on, right?
