There's surely a threshold at which they will gladly incriminate you. The paramedics just can't reasonably foresee where said line is other than knowing it's far beyond the typical illegal activity you find in that setting. Moreover, I'm sure you could imagine in the case of federal crimes (drug trafficking, terrorism, high profile national news stuff, etc) the feds having no qualms about threatening to drag the paramedics through an expensive prosecution if they don't narc.
Did you really wonder if they meant "looking like a murderer is fine" or are you trolling?
What if you showed up with a bomb vest? Or showed up in a stolen military helicopter?
I’m not sure what the value is of these very obvious cases where common sense dictates that there is a plain and obvious limitation to this policy. The point is obviously to limit harm that people do to themselves and one another, not to function as some sort of philosophical thought experiment made concrete.
What is the purpose of this “what about”?
If the wording was something like "won't call the cops if you're way too fucking high" I'd find it more believable.
That’s exactly what they mean, and that is painfully obvious. I do not understand your point here. What exactly are you having difficulty believing? Do you think they intend to advertise that they provide blanket cover for every crime on earth?
I am having difficulty believing that anyone would actually believe that that is what’s intended by that statement. It is much more believable that a person would intentionally misinterpret that statement to make some sort of vague joke about language.
