I got a ride in a cop car once. I had not done anything wrong but was in a fender bender and was really young and shaken up that I locked myself out of my car so the cop had to drive me to work, which really sucked because I was a pizza delivery driver! Anyway, a call came in on the radio that a call came in regarding one neighbor calling on another neighbor because they were "stealing apples off their tree and throwing them at them when they told the to get off the property." They cops said these people call all the time...

LOL! It makes you wonder how these people survive in the wild!
I sat in on a hearing where a man was arrested for drunk driving. His argument against the arrest was that he was already out of his car and at the front door when they cops arrested him. Like its okay to drink and drive if you make it home....

As a student in the ER A police officer brought in a man who miss dialed 911 hung up and thought that would be the end of it, however the officer said when he knocked on the man's door he opened it saw the officer and slammed the door shut and ran out the back door in to the path of another officer. This guy was making his own drugs. Needed to have test before jail to find out what he was high on for everyones safty.

I was talking with a friend who works with EMS and one night they were dispatched to a residence of a man with a little too much time on his hands. It seems he was in the hot tub and got a little curious, and in the process got his member stuck in the jet. a neighbor was walking by and he asked the neighbor to hand him his cell phone, and he called 911. They had to drain the water and dismantle part of the hot tub to get him loose.

I remember that episode.

I worked as a telephone operator for several years and a lot of the smaller counties that we provided service for did not have 9-1-1 in place yet. So they would just dial O for operator. Every full moon we got a phone call from a lady that just wanted to let us know that she was going to go stick her head in the oven. Yes I did ask, her oven was electric. The saddest call though was from a lol who said her husband left that morning to work outside on their farm and he never came back. Her call came in at 11:00pm and she sounded very upset. I didn't know if she was confused or if her husband was still outside so I called the sheriff's department but I never found out what happened.

There was a case recently with a young (6-9 yo range I think) boy calling 911 because his mom was unresponsive and the 911 dispatcher didn't take him seriously right away and the mom ended up dying.

Three hours later-he calls back repeats his story, and a DIFFRENT DISPATCHER still won't believe the poor kid. Threatens to send the cops out if he doesn't stop playing on the phone. An hour later the police arrive(sure it was sent out as non-emergency)
Mom is dead on the floor-heart problems...
The dispatchers were suspended and after an investigation now face a year in prison
That is unbelievable!!! I worked for San Francisco 911 for three years, and we always had to send the police out for any child that would call. We would even have to send them out for a hang up if we could not get a response on the call back. This is absolutely terrible. Those dispatchers should have been fired! Sad.

There was one on the TV not long ago about a guy who called 911 4 or 5 times because he thought the folks at the Burger King told him they were out of what he wanted on his burger (like no tomato or something). He ended up in the county lock up because he also had outstanding warrants....

Guess he took that "have it your way" thing WAY too serious.....

This happened about 10 years ago in South Carolina. Nurse was going to meet her hubby for lunch, he didn't show, she goes to the ATM for money. Punk comes up to rob her.

Cops make the scene, the nurse has dislocated the punk's shoulder, broken his arm, and is slamming his face into the ATM, punk is screaming for the cops to save him. They showed the "dash cam" and you can hear the cop trying to tell the nurse to stop while laughing his head off.

Lesson: never get between a hungry nurse and her food.
