Even though it is not exactly SAR-related, I agree with you, and you provide a good example. However, take the same person being rescued repeatedly because of his idiotic drug-abuse problem in SAR scenarios and I think you would get more of the same, even if you charged him as a deterrent (unless there was a legal way of making him pay like garnishing wages, etc.) wouldn't you?
