911 prank calls are now a capital offense (for dogs).
How are the cops, or anybody, supposed to ascertain that a 911 call is bogus?
They don’t know who made the call and, are the cops supposed to really go away upon somebody answering the door saying that it was a mistake?
That’s a good way for a murderer to throw off the police, by answering the door and saying that it was all a mistake, so the cops can go away now.
