Alternatively, you could contend that the caller intended to defraud the citizens of the community the use of the PD resources that were tied up with the call, and therefore not available to respond to other needs in the community.
You also have false police report/official statements violations, and depending on local statutes, I'm sure that you could add more to the list.
If this is in fact happening, there are multiple ways to prosecute it.
911 doesn't use Caller ID; it uses a totally different system. That's all I will say about that.
Yeah the call of this nature is illegal for sure...the perps will most likely be identified and prosecuted.
