I just think there is too much left to interpretation. The 911 told us he does not give orders just suggestions.
I think that it depends on the person who hears it and their experience.

Excerpts:
......"REMEMBER:
Neighborhood Watch members serve solely as the extra "eyes and ears" of law enforcement.
Neighborhood Watch members should report their observations of suspicious activities to law enforcement by calling 9-1-1.
Never try to take action on those observations.
Only trained law enforcement should take action.
Please share this with ALL of your Neighborhood Watch members and neighbors."
......"What is Suspicious Activity?
Someone screaming or shouting for help
Someone looking into windows and parked cars
Unusual noises
Property being taken out of houses where no one is at home or a business is closed
Cars, vans or trucks moving slowly without apparent destination, or without lights
Anyone being forced into a vehicle
A stranger sitting in a car or stopping to talk to a child
Abandoned cars
A suspicious activity is an occurrence that is out of place and should not be happening in your neighborhood. Report these incidents to the police department. Talk about the problem with your neighbors.
Our team formula is:
Neighborhood Watch + 9-1-1 = Safer Neighborhoods in Orlando!"
GZ KNEW, from being his Neighborhood Watch Block Captain, what the procedure was if he came upon "suspicious activity". Even with 911 telling him "We don't need you to do that", there is a specific protocol, which he was totally aware of going through the Neighborhood Watch program.
