The thought process of “why should I care?” is a very slippery slope. This entire line of work is fraught with danger. That can’t stop us from doing everything we can to ensure we help the citizens of our community. If we get a call of a vehicle theft in progress, do we send units and utilize lojack if available, or wait til the owner finds it and then send them to make a report? Not to offend, but you need to rethink you’re views on call handling.

But the article also seems to point out exactly what you stated–it IS fraught with danger, so agencies should consider how to handle these situations before they occur.

Let the caller track it down then call and I’ll send the cops out to take the theft/follow-up report. But no way am I (and I would guess, my agency) going to be logging in to anyone’s account to track it. What agency would? Fraught with danger.

I should have added that other wireless devices also have location features similar to Apple’s.
