Shiga man arrested for calling 110 number more than 12,000 times [quote]Police arrested a 61-year-old man on Tuesday for obstruction of duty after he allegedly called the 110 emergency number over 12,000 times. Hisao Sumitani, a resident of Otsu, has admitted to the charge but was quoted by police as saying “the whole case is ridiculous.” According to police, Sumitani called the Shiga Prefecture emergency number 12,300 times between December 2006 and Sept 30 of this year. Sumitani would shout into the phone at operators, and is accused of disrupting their duty. He also reportedly dialed the Otsu fire department 1,390 times on the 119 number. Authorities visited Sumitani’s home four times requesting him to stop, but he refused to comply.[/quote] [url]http://www.japantoday.com/category/crime/view/shiga-man-arrested-for-calling-110-more-than-12000-times[/url]
Huh?
Why did they stop him at 12,000 and not 1,000 or even 50?
Probably one of those crotchety old people that calls over anything and everything.
911 emergency, please speak [B]HOLY SHIT LADY THERES A BUNCH OF KIDS ON MY LAWN AND THEY WONT GET OFF[/B]
[QUOTE=UserDirk580;17942795]Why did they stop him at 12,000 and not 1,000 or even 50?[/QUOTE] It says they did try to make him stop 4 times already.
Anyone who's had to take care of an old aging grandparent who's mind is going knows exactly how insane the ideas in their weary minds become.
This man is a hero.
[QUOTE=jA_cOp;17943585]It says they did try to make him stop 4 times already.[/QUOTE] 4 times out of 12,000 calls... obviously they're not making enough of an effort.
