When do we "jump in"

I think it comes with experience. Aside from safety, I try to roll in like a local, as opposed to the local Gestapo. If you wish to dial things up, do so slowly, gently and low keyed. If it's a new location, I'll try to get the lay of the land, and see how lax the enforcement is.

Tomorrow, I'm working a state championship game, and we're all going to be new to each other. So our crew gets to set the tempo, and we're going to set the bar pretty high. There's a time and a place for cracking the whip, and we'll get our chance tomorrow. This game is pretty far down the line though, and I'm sure these guys have seen some pretty good crews. So ours won't be any shock to anyone.
