Re: They shouldn't be able to call it "9-1-1" said by fiberguy:You are allowed to place a test 911 call as long as it's brief and you notify them in advance you are performing a "911 test." That sounds reasonable though how do you notify them ?? Calling the non-emergency number will do what ?? Maybe they can suggest a "slow" time to call or that you need to say a certain thing right off the start...
I just keep remembering dialing 911 on the interstate (in the middle of town) trying to reach the highway patrol to report a drunk driver or something. I was routed to the city of Dayton's 911 center and the 911 bitch operator gave me shit about it being a "non-emergency". I started to reply "Look, I'm trying to reach...." and stopped, knowing I'd "lose" the argument (signs along the interstate say to dial 911 to reach the highway patrol). Who knows the non-emergency number for cities when you're just driving through ?? |

4 edits | You never know. In California we have a similar sign program. On Cal-Trans electric message signs over the freeways and during holidays (like New Year's Eve) they put up messages saying stuff like "Report Drunk Drivers Dial 911". We also have permanent blue highways signs saying to call 9-1-1 to report drunk drivers.
They even got an award for the program »www.dot.ca.gov/hq/paffairs/news/···7pr5.htm |
