999 Police Calls - Don’t Try These From Home!
December 30, 2007 11:49 pm Funny StuffBefore Christmas, Cambridgeshire Police released an article on their website by way of a seasonal appeal.
999 emergency call centres (911 for those of you in the US) have always been abused by the ignorant & the stupid, but Chief Inspector Mike Winters decided to publish some of the more idiotic nuisance calls on the internet in the hope it will help get across that abuse of the service can cost lives:
“The message is; don’t put lives at risk by calling 999 when you do not need an emergency police response.”
