My friend sometimes calls 911 for no reason, and he said that he cant help it..?

Question

he said that his mind keeps on telling him to call call and call. any advice?

Answer 1

he needs help

Answer 2

There are other such cases out there.  If he gets to a shrink before the courts get to him, he might avoid jail.

Answer 3

well sometimes people call actually for help and they have an emergency..... when your friend calls...... he might be distracting the cops from actual emergencies!

Answer 4

either your being funny, or he needs help.

If he keeps calling the police will get pissed off enough that they will do more than just write him a citation.

Answer 5

It is illegal to call 911 for non-emergency. I imagine a couple $300 tickets from me would fix your friend's problem.

Answer 6

he's probably lying to try to be funny or get attention.

or

he's just really crazy and needs to seek therapy.

or

he should join the YOung Democrats of America so he can be with people of his own kind.

Answer 7

He's Crazy x]

Answer 8

that's retarded and if the police have to come to your residence for a fake call they charge you $50 bucks.

Answer 9

just force him not to or cancel the call, or just let him learn by his self why not to do it even if its paying couple of 100$

Answer 10

in my state they charge you , for the service,  if the cops come out,  and for harassment if you do it for no reason,  

so he wants to be  childish,  then he Will learn , he can even be prosecuted in some jurisdictions,  

good luck with your decision

Answer 11

perhaps the next time he calls he can explain this to the person on the other end of the line. they are the profesionals. they will be able to tell if he is just pulling a prank or has a problem and in either case, they will know what to do.

Answer 12

If he doesn't knock it off, the Police will use all the radio room documentation to take action against him. He better stop AND get some help. (Or the Police will eventually put him in a position where he has no options)

Answer 13

Soon the police will have had enough.

They will take care of it.

Little jail time with Bubba should clear it up.

Answer 14

If he is under 18 talk to his parents. If not you cant really do anything.

Answer 15

He needs help.............

Answer 16

MN just passed a new law, making it illegal to falsly report a crime (finally!!!).  Also, calling 911 for no reason is a waste of resources, which can result in a charge such as "harrassing communication."
