There should be a fine involved with 911 miscalls. Seems to me it gets misused a lot!!
That won’t work just saying if we don’t hold criminals accountable how can we expect parents to pay a fine because they aren’t paying attention to the kid playing with a phone ?
@awwww…… When I read these police logs a lot of the 911 calls are from adults not children. Many of them pocket dial or dial the wrong number. If they charge for misusing it this way they surely should charge for lots of other things like a concerned citizen called police because of suspicious persons but they ended up being a power man working. The cops went there and nothing was wrong. Should the caller be fined ?
Children calling 911 happens with some caretakers and it’s usually not because they’re being harmed thankfully. Children are curious .
@ tax payer I understand what your saying but if we don’t actually give the criminals in franklin county consequences for their actions why would we fine someone that pocket dialed or mistakingly dialed. Wether it’s an adult or a kid. As far as people calling on water or power or phone workers maybe their hoping it will slow the bill down if they interfere.
Not @ Awww but was meant for Just Saying!
Taxpayer: Just curious how you pocket dial 911….unless the number was already in the phone? I get that children make mistakes!! My point was the police have to investigate each call as if something is wrong. That is costing money. It was just a suggestion…
