I've personally had to deliver the message that, "Your misuse of 911 can land you in jail, 911 is for emergencies only, you call again and I'll send up charges" One lady in particular...my foot hurts I want a ride to the hospital. Mind you it was hurting and she didn't break or hit it on anything. Ring Ring 911 what is your emergency. I want a ride to the hospital. Ma'am this is 911. Go to house, remind lady of 911 use and leave. Not two minutes later same thing. This time I go to house she asks me to take her to hospital. I pull out my favorite one liner. I only give rides one way and that's to jail, if you'd like to go hop in the backseat".
Somehow she was mad at me but found a ride to the hospital.
