Kevin was ready to go and had all of his equipment on.
Traffic surveillance equipment have the capability to read the licence plates of vehicles in a matter of minutes. If anything out of the ordinary is found, the appropriate authorities are contacted straight once. The only things need to trigger an alert are an unpaid speeding ticket, a stolen vehicle, or something much more serious than either of those.
Officers have a responsibility to respond to a person who calls for help in the same manner that Kevin did when he arrived on the scene, regardless of the reason why the person called for assistance. Kevin didn’t realise he needed to take action until he heard the alarm go off, but by then it was too late.
