Aw, thanks very much!!
These are very good points, and you're so right. Pretty sure I read a whole bunch of articles, etc. about people being angry and annoyed and complaining about amber alerts recently. Thanks!
dont quote me on this, I'm no expert, but I do find that RCMP and Canadian police in general tend to be more tight lipped and to answer questions more succinctly than US police, leaving me feeling more in the dark and less likely to try to interpret anything they say. That's just IME and IMO. While I was watching the presser, the quote was in response to a question regarding whether or not foul play was suspected, and he answered the question in the same manner as all the others, basically 'we don't know.' I took it more as him repeating it in the same wording it was asked, in order to prevent any kind of interpretations. Given the context and the way he answered everything, I personally didn't take much from it. But I wouldn't bet anything on my own opinion.
I know that with the Noah Chamberlin case the volunteers became a detriment at times. If people don't know the area or what they're doing they can get lost, hurt, or mess up the area for those who know what they're doing. Inexperienced and untrained volunteers need to be supervised, and they probably have so many people there right now that they can't supervise any more of them, which means people could be milling around trampling tracks or requiring resources they simply don't have. This is just what I've heard following other cases.
