If the police has reason to expect that the car will be the subject of a crime, then I think they should be legally required to act.

I know that in some places, the courts has ruled a police officer do not have a legal duty to protect citizens from harm or prevent crimes. Strangely, in places where citizens that witness a crime has a legal duty to report it, its unclear if the police has the same requirement.

But this is the FBI, so shouldn't they be held to a higher standard?
