Wrong again. They had 9000 cops in the area. They violated the 4th all day long then held a news conference and stood down to a fraction of that number (officially they said Watertown plus an equal number of state troopers but they probably had more). It was at that point that the citizen called 911.

If the police were there all day, then so was Joker. He did not get out of their perimeter. When they stood down to a fraction of their numbers, Joker was still there because of the prior actions of the larger number of officers. Then the 911 call came in. And then he was arrested.
What Joker was facing was, obviously, a huge police presence. Some stood guard on the perimeter. Some went door to door contacting the citizens. Some were on the ground searching the area, and some were in the air. Joker couldn't move freely, so at some point he simply hid. The police got a break when the boat owner went out to get some fresh air. Luck played a part in this, as it does sometimes in other incidents. And now, Joker is in custody.
What I am waiting to see is a good diagram depicting where they picked up his trail, and where he was finally located.
