Out of curiosity, where in the law does it say one must call 911? Let us suppose that I have averted a crime via self-defense. If I call a police/state system to report a successfully averted crime, am I waiving my right to silence, or my right to representation by an attorney. 911 calls are recorded and used as evidence, as is everything you say. I looked and cannot find a statute that says one must call 911, but how do I request an ambulance, maybe the criminal has a chance because I used a 9mm or maybe he got me and I need help. If I say the wrong thing being as how I might be scared to death, or if I am to calm it is all recorded and used against me. What to do?
I would imagine that comments of bury the body or some such really wouldn't be very constructive. A seemingly reasonable suggestion has been to have an attorney on retainer, call him, let him call 911 and come to speak for you. But in reality I don't know any lawyer that hands out a home number, and if somebody attacked me at 2 am would an attorney really come?
