In reply to the discussion: Taking Guns Seriously [View all]Atypical Liberal
(5,412 posts)39. The 911 operators aren't police. Making false police reports through them is still a crime.
Often the 911 dispatchers are not police officers, and in many places, Sanford being one, you are not legally obligated to follow their instructions.
It is still illegal to make false reports of crime to the police through 911.
