Sheriff: Man 'pocket dials' 911, drug talk heard
    #14497430 - 05/23/11 02:25 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Sunday, May 22, 2011

GAINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) - Authorities say a Georgia man "pocket-dialed" 911 and the dispatcher on the other end overheard people discussing a drug deal.

The Hall County sheriff's office says no one was on the call made around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Col. Jeff Strickland says the dispatcher could overhear several people talking about a drug deal involving prescription narcotics.

Authorities say a deputy was sent to a Gainesville Waffle House restaurant where the call originated.

Strickland says the deputy eventually discovered the phone in an employee's pocket. Strickland said the employee then discovered he had accidentally dialed 911.

Authorities say they confronted the 18-year-old Sugar Hill man and found that he had hydrocodone and alprazolam tablets and charged him with drug possession.

they can see where a 911 call originated on a cell phone by triangulating the towers i believe, most areas have it not all.

btw i kinda feel sorry for this guy, it could happen to anyone w/o a flip phone. ive pocket dialed family members while discussing stuff..

since when is this an emergency anyway? oh no some 18 year old is buying pills that we hand by the truckload...

To locate a mobile telephone geographically, there are two general approaches. One is to use some form of radiolocation from the cellular network; the other is to use a Global Positioning System receiver built into the phone itself. Both approaches are described by the Radio resource location services protocol (LCS protocol).

I am more curious as to how people keep pocket dialing 911. Karma?

on my blackberry, u can still make emergency calls by pressing a few buttons while the pad is locked.  Ill lock my keypad and have my phone in my pocket and often when i check it, its about to make an emergency call.

Ah... I see.

I would have figured a keypad lock would be universal on the keypad. (I've got a dumb phone)

Another unfair point in this story is that any well-off individual could go to their doctor (paid by insurance) and get a script (paid by insurance) for both these medications.  Anyone who doesn't have health insurance and/or prescription plan pays hundreds of $ (if they have it) for the doctor's visit and the pills... unless they want to pay smaller fee to a waffle house employee...
