911 Service Flooded By Perverts, Prattlers And Butt-Pressers

The term 'butt-press' call refers to people sticking a cell phone in their pocket and then sitting, stooping, or twisting to make a 911 call.

The cops are steered to the location via triangulation and GPS.  In New York City an astounding 38% of the 10.4 million calls to 911 during 2010 were ass related “short calls” of 19 seconds or less — that’s an average of 10,700 false alarms per day.

Another class of problems arise from lonely and perverted people who abuse the 911 system with crank calls.
 
Oklahoma City arrested a serial caller of 911 operators who kept dialing to talk about sex. Clyde Dorain Hobbs, 72, called 911 on Saturday, May 5 at least 17 times. The report reveals Hobbs made sexually oriented comments to the emergency operators instead of reporting an emergency.  Hobbs has been arrested three previous times for the same thing.  The last set of called resulted in a resisting arrest beef..

Not all of these stories are funny.  Oscar Carillo called 911 to report an armed robbery.  Oscar was kidding.  The cops rushed to the scene and encountered a teenager who they thought was armed. When the teen allegedly reached for his waistband, an officer shot and killed him.

Sadly, the 911 service is a critical resource too easily abused by the self-centered numbskulls that lead such pathetic lives they would not think twice to disrupt and waste the resource.
