Got the door slammed on me as I posted right as the last thread closed so bringing this over here...
Realizing that most WSers also probably have paid far more attention to not only POIs, but also the specifics about them, and have sought out or at least have seen more on TV or online than a large majority of the general public, and also are more apt to pay more careful attention to details, I'm especially curious about this!
What would all the WSers do if they believe they possibly saw a POI from a wanted poster that has been disseminated about and LE is looking for and requesting information on the whereabouts of the person?
Would you...
Look at someone and try to determine if it was the person you'd maybe seen on TV or on a poster once and call, even if very unsure if it's the POI?
Or look several times, trying to catch a clearer image, perhaps even end up taking an extended look, or even staring (intentionally or not)?
Or maybe even take several looks at a person, possibly also looking at a phone trying to look at the POI picture, and perhaps end up taking a longer or lingering look to confirm or deny your suspicions after looking at a poster/picture/whatever?
Or would you talk to someone else, trying to get a second or third (or some other additional) opinion on if they thought your suspicions were valid? And/or if they thought something should be done?
Or would you do nothing unless you knew for certain?
Or would you do nothing? (Meaning period - regardless of degree of certainty)
Or _____ (fill in the blank)?
Would your answer vary if you thought you saw a possible missing person and not a possible person of interest or possible suspect?
