6. Yes--because they TOLD the company to NOT call them.

If they hadn't done that, and instead "answered all calls," we wouldn't be having this discussion.

The "lock 'em up" question is a separate debate. If the police had not told the alarm company to not notify them for short interruptions, and instead, investigated every single one, that crime would not have happened.

The police are trying to shift this to the alarm company, for doing what they TOLD them to do.

Investigating every bathtub bump is the price of running an ankle bracelet program...perhaps they should have issued each convict a few sheets of bubble wrap or foam, and a bungee cord or even a roll of tape, to put around the ankle bracelet, for use when the perpetrators were in the tub to avoid those sharp bumps?

Makes more sense to me than abdicating responsibility for their prisoners.
