653x. (a) Any person who telephones the 911 emergency line with the
intent to annoy or harass another person is guilty of a misdemeanor
punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000),
by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than six months, or by
both the fine and imprisonment. Nothing in this section shall apply
to telephone calls made in good faith.
(b) An intent to annoy or harass is established by proof of
repeated calls over a period of time, however short, that are
unreasonable under the circumstances.
(c) Upon conviction of a violation of this section, a person also
shall be liable for all reasonable costs incurred by any unnecessary
emergency response.
Yes, all 911 calls in California are answered by the CHP and all speaking, caller ID info, which phone line was answered, if it was transferred to another operator as well as all radio traffic (on a channel-color by channel-color basis) is recorded on a "voice logging recorder". Currently, CHP uses a brand called "Voice Print" from a company in Camarillo, CA. They have them at all 25 comm centers, from the little one in Truckee to the two huge centers in Vallejo (Golden Gate Division) and the new Los Angeles Regional Traffic Management Center (LARTMC) that they share with CalTrans.coolusername2007 wrote:There is a way to file for and get audio copies of the 911 calls made in your instance (don't know which forms to file). I would do this and make sure you get every audio clip of every call that was made regarding your legal activity. You may need them later on.
ill look into this.
does anyone know if its possible to get recordings of the radio traffic from the incident?
The above is from 1999. There are many press releases announcing local routing of cellular 911 calls since the mid 2000's. Local jurisdictions can request 911 calls be routed to their local Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP).Q: I called 911 from my cellular phone, why did the CHP answer?
A: Cellular 911 phone calls are answered by CHP communications/dispatch centers in the state of California.
BACKGROUND
When wireless cellular telephones were initially introduced in California, their predominant use was in automobiles. As a result, all 9-1-1 cellular calls were routed to the nearest California Highway Patrol (CHP) Communications Center PSAP. Use of wireless cellular telephones has now overcome the traditional landline telephone and this rapid escalation has seriously inundated CHP PSAPs statewide with wireless 9-1-1 calls. Many of these calls must then be transferred to the appropriate PSAP nearest that wireless 9-1-1 caller location.
Passage of an Assembly Bill (AB 1263) in 2001 provides conditions that allow PSAPs outside of the CHP to answer wireless 9-1-1 calls directly from wireless service provider cell sectors that do not cover a CHP jurisdiction. These conditions include jurisdictional considerations and technological feasibility with agreement among the CHP, the PSAP, the 9-1-1 Office; and, consultation with wireless carriers, providers of 9-1-1 selective routing services, and 9-1-1 Database providers. These entities are referred to as wireless stakeholders in this chapter.
Cell phones with GPS now get routed (generally correctly) to the primary jurisdiction you are calling from (much to the relief of CHP dispatchers).tall_tree said, "BTW, CHP only answers *cellular* 911 calls."
DOH! I meant to say that! (about cellular) Good catch!
One time I called about some asshole slamming on his breaks into me and the dispatch lady told me what street I was on, I was like :uhoh:nukechaser wrote:Cell phones with GPS now get routed (generally correctly) to the primary jurisdiction you are calling from (much to the relief of CHP dispatchers).tall_tree said, "BTW, CHP only answers *cellular* 911 calls."
