(10,201 posts)I was once asked by a 911 operator if anyone was bleeding. I replied no. She then told me that there would not be an officer coming. The robbery victim would have to go to the police station if they wanted to file a report.
I once saw a car with a smashed front end, driving up the wrong side of the street, with no headlights at 3am, while dragging a newspaper vending machine by a chain. The dispatcher became upset and threatened to fine us we placed any more non-emergency calls.
The only time after that, where I used 911 was to report a dead guy on the sidewalk and my fist thought was oh god I hope I don't get fined for abusing the 911 system.
