Wait false 911 calls aren't illegal in the US?

We get fake 911 calls all the time for emergencies and they usually don't give a shit unless it's repeated a lot or something that is a massive use of resources (ie: a bomb threat)

They will once people start getting hit for abusing the system. And in a lot of cases the racists tend to out themselves rather quickly. Like that person with the dog who called the cops on a bird watcher.

Thats not what this law is doing. The law isnt saying the racist has to be kind. They just cant waste public resources because theyre racist.

Are you stupid? honest question.

This is clearly for people calling the police on black people walking about, like the numerous cases of people calling them on black people out walking their dog, or wearing something nice.

easy! Police shows up. Black dude has video evidence that he was chilling and karen approached him and went racist on him and called the cops. There.

Also the name of this reminds me of Boss Nass saying "weesa no Caren about the Naboo"

With racial shit it really is.

What it will do is prevent idiots from calling the cops just because they see a black person doing something they don't like for fear of themselves getting arrested

Eh, they'll just find better ways to describe it.

"Yeah, we got some suspicious men uh... existing outside. They've been in the area for a while (even if it was only for a few minutes) and they haven't left yet. They're just standing there... menacingly"

it'll do nothing that thecurrent laws don't do tho
