Re: OCing, Sheeple, and 911
Ok, thanks for the reply...it was just an idea that I thought may be an arguable stance.
The reason being is that I was told by a 911 operator that calling 911 for non-emergency issues was a finable offense.
Backstory: I called 911 one night due to some kids that threw fireworks into a dumpster ouside my townhome at 3:00 am. The dumpster caught on fire, and had 15 foot flames coming out the top, and I thought that it could cause close by vehicles or buildings to catch on fire, so I called 911 to report it not knowing the local Fire Dept's. number. The operator said they had a crew dispatched already, and that I should have looked up the number for the Fire Dept and not called 911 because it's not a life or death emergency. He also noted that I could be fined for any further non-emergency calls made.
