Steve,
I stated proven negligence as the trigger. I, also, used as examples cases I know that caused the use of SAR.
If they won't call if there is a charge is a valid argument, then if they won't do something stupid, if they know there is a charge is also a valid argument.
If it is an accident...like slide down the side of mountain off a 4' ledge into a creek when an arrest was missed, I do not believe this person should be charged.
I would even be open to community service as a charge or mandatory participation in a WTC type course. Something that says stupid behavior has a cost.
