OJR Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things. He phoned the police, who asked "Does someone live in your shed?" and he said no. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available. George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. "Hello I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now, cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung up. Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed. One of the Policemen said to George, "I thought you said that you'd shot them?" George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available?"

[/ QUOTE ] Sir, you are under arrest for Falsely Reporting an Incident. NYS Penal Law § 240.50 Falsely reporting an incident in the third degree. A person is guilty of falsely reporting an incident in the third degree when, knowing the information reported, conveyed or circulated to be false or baseless, he: 1. Initiates or circulates a false report or warning of an alleged occurrence or impending occurrence of a crime, catastrophe or emergency under circumstances in which it is not unlikely that public alarm or inconvenience will result; or 2. Reports, by word or action, to an official or quasi-official agency or organization having the function of dealing with emergencies involving danger to life or property, an alleged occurrence or impending occurrence of a catastrophe or emergency which did not in fact occur or does not in fact exist; or 3.

Falsely reporting an incident in the third degree is a class A misdemeanor. It's subsection 2....I would have had the last laugh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Re: How to Call the Police! [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I think Swampy is SubSection 8!!! [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] Subsection 8. The Cotswold Line as a freight route. Introduction of freight services depends upon infrastructure improvements, but would contribute to their capital and maintenance costs. The CLPG welcomes the proposals of Hereford & Worcester County Council to establish a rail based freight concentration depot at Honeybourne to cater for fruit and vegetable traffic to and from the Vale of Evesham, both self-generated and in the Vale’s rôle as a major distribution site for such produce from elsewhere in the UK and Europe. Of equal note is the interest expressed by major supermarkets and the major freight operator, English, Welsh and Scottish Railway (EWS). Given the predicted increases in road-borne traffic of between 36-57% (Developing an Integrated Transport Policy: Discussion Document - Department of Environment Transport and the Regions, 1997) in the next 20 years, it seems unlikely that the Cotswolds’ primary trunk route, the A44 from Oxford to Worcester, will be able to continue to cope with the Vale of Evesham fruit and vegetable traffic without major environmental damage. Such initiatives should form part of the Cotswold Line Strategy, and the CLPG urges the new Worcestershire County Council, (the successor authority to Hereford & Worcester County Council as from April 1998) to continue to promote this proposal. In addition to freight services relating to the Cotswolds area itself, the line may also offer a future strategic route, either in its own right or on a diversionary basis, if Railtrack and EWS’s hopes to increase freight volume by rail and fully utilise the Channel Tunnel’s potential are to be realised.
