Evidently not the morons that came up with this senseless BS.
The robber is the one it is supposed to control..which it will not because a bank robber doesn`t really give a rat`s *** how many moronic laws that we allow to be put on the books. It doesn`t pertain to their chosen occupation. It`s a feel gooder for the naive. It would, however, confuse, hinder and disrupt the average Joe`s normal, everyday life and put one more chip out the old people`s control dept.
You can also believe that any bank robber that isn`t flat lined in the upstairs dept. knows the response time way before entering the bank. It amounts to nada, zilch, zippo.
respond, to a BANK ROBBERY, not some domestic dispute
Their time would be more well spent responding to the domestic dispute since that is one of the most violent areas that most cops deal with.
Within 2 to 3 weeks of enactment of such law the button would have the enamel coating wore off of it from false alarms. After that time such panic alerts would be treated as such, a false alarm. Then it would be radio calls back and forth with confirmation phone calls, etc. Three minutes would be left biting the dust. It`s El Stupido.
