What happens if you call from a pay phone?.....
Now, that I can see. Call 911 when there is no emergency, and pay for the price of the response.
As for backcountry rescues, there is a service you can buy for less than $10 a year if you have a SPOT personal locator. I have one, and carry it whenever going to remote places. It does come with a warning that a frivolous call will cost you dearly, particularly if it results in helicopters being called out.
A Pay phone? Say, there's one, right over there next to the LP vinyl records, in the typewriter section.
There it is, next to the buggy whips.
There are still pay phones in my city......rof
Hell there are still pay phone on my campus. .

Good luck getting $300 worth of quarters to fit inside it! :mrgreen:
My Fellow Americans:
I know you guys love low taxes. I love low taxes. Everyone loves low taxes. Sometimes, however, it becomes clear that certain services are being underfunded.
How about we all agree that there are certain things that must be fully funded, regardless of what that price is?
LIKE THE ABILITY TO CALL THE POLICE
Thanks,

No, I don't agree.....
Life went on before there was a 911, it will go on without it....
For instance....
Everytime 911 is called here for any health emergency, a full size firetruck shows up, along with the cops....
You should be able to call the police & get the police without dialing 911 as part of the taxes you are already overpaying....

You can. You just have to know their number.
You don't get a fire truck on every call, that is totally incorrect. The dispatchers act as triage according to protocols. Yes, for a fire you get a fullsized firetruck, an ambulance with at least one paramedic, and most likely a cop car.
In the City of Seattle, you get one on any health related call......
If someone slips & falls in QFC a firetruck will respond every time, even if they only need an 'amberlamps'.......:lol:
Don't presume to know the protocalls for every juridiction....
That would be impossible.....
Medic One is a dynamic layered response system. A Medic One response to an emergency begins with a telephone call to 9-1-1. Calls are transferred from a primary call taker to emergency medical call taker who gathers information from the caller, gives instructions to the caller, and determines what types of emergency personnel to send. For very serious and life threatening emergencies firefighters trained in basic life support and paramedics trained in advanced life support respond simultaneously. Paramedics transport patients in critical condition. For less severe emergencies only firefighters will be dispatched. Basic life support personnel from either a fire department or private ambulance company transport non-critical patients.

You literally will oppose anything just because a liberal said it.
I could say "i like puppies" and you would stand up and say ALL DOGS ARE EVIL AND SHOULD BE EXTERMINATED.
I then say "You're right! Kill the dogs!" And you'd respond "WHAT? YOU MONSTER! I LOVE DOGS AND WOULD NEVER HURT THEM!"
This is you.
Those are my feet, btw, in case anyone wondered if I was white....
Damn man, you need some sun. Seriously. :2razz:
It's hard to keep a tan out here in the Northwest....
You're wrong, as usual, I love my dog.....
In fact, now that the wife just got home, we are going to the off leash park At Marrymor....

About time
As a taxpayer why on earth should I be subsidizing those morons who need to use emergency services.
If you dont want to pay the fee dont get into the situation where you will need the police in an emergency, or fire department or an Ambulance(sp)
Or so some might think
