From a legal standpoint, it seems this would open up a dept to an insane degree of legal liability. I can't see something like that even happening... would be interesting to see how it would be worded.

I know at one point they were working on it for exact things like this.
And why I said it would be limited in scope. For instance. the 911 operator told him not to follow or approach this " Potentially dangerous " person. ( based on the way Zimmerman called it in ). To then approach would have been doing exactly what he was told not to do by these people. It escelates to an issue that may not have happened.
Like I said it was being tossed around one time when I read about it but I was not sure how far it went.
