In the committee hearings even the republicans said that they never wanted anyone to feel they couldn't call 911 if they were concerned about someone they saw with a gun. I won't hold my breath hoping that one of the MDA moms gets charged for calling in a MWAG.Tracker wrote:If MDA floods 911 with exaggeration about what you are doing.....jmra wrote:Don't worry, I'm not revealing any secrets or anything the opposition hasn't already stated they plan to do.
Victim of a Fake 911 Call? What Can You Do?

4. File a police report. Falsely reporting a crime to police is a misdemeanor. Whether it's part of a bad revenge plot or not, making a false report or misusing the 911 system, with the added danger of an innocent victim potentially getting killed, can warrant pretty serious criminal action. Initiate legal action against whoever made the call and don't treat it as a practical joke you can just ignore.

Re: An honest response from a local LEO (HB910)
Here is the problem I see with LEO responding to every call of someone OCing a handgun...groups like MDA will start patrols looking for people OCing and will flood police departments with calls (this is assuming people actually OC when/if this bill passes). These groups will start campaigns to recruit mindless robots to do the same (there are a lot of mindless robots out there).
No, I believe police departments have to train 911 operators to ask the right questions to determine if a crime is being committed. It is my understanding that much of OK has taken this approach and it has been very effective in limiting unnecessary dispatches of LEO.
