A friend of mine got into a traffic collision (he's fine) and had to wait two hours before the police showed up. And it got me curious about something, that maybe you legal-learned can answer.
What constitutes as a misuse of 911? Obviously, the first call isn't going to be. But how long would you need to wait for police in order to be within your rights to call them again? An hour? A day? Are there certain conditions that have to be met, like a change in circumstances or a completely new threat arising? Or is it purely up to the discretion of the police? I'm guessing there has to be a change in the situation, but I'm really curious on any specifics that I was perhaps unaware of.
Again, no one is in any danger that I'm aware of, this is purely a curiosity post. Thanks to anyone that chips in!
I apologize for posting this to the main subreddit and breaking the rules, I was unaware.
