In many jurisdictions you can just file a police report on a self-serve website. This avoids them showing up and shooting your dog and usually suffices for a claim.
I mean, yea, don't ever call the emergency number for a non emergency.
Where I am, you actually have to call the non-emergency for emergencies. 911 is like a ten minutes wait time, but if you call the small town police non-emergency line and tell them a car just flipped into the ditch in front of your house (again) they will get the first responders there a lot faster.
I'm told this is because when there is an accident on the freeway 500 people call it in, thinking they are saving the world and it clogs up the line.
Bruh, thats some shenaigans.
Feels so "ghetto"... its like calling the a friend that happened to be a cop, instead of actually calling the cops.
