Stupid phone! Why is the mute button where my ear can turn it off?! Not great when calling emergency.

Yeah, thought I saw somebody sus casing the street. Non-emergency redirected me to the big guns. Was a bit surprised.

Ah righto. Yeah, I think from memory non emergency can't actually dispatch units to investigate crimes or suspicious people (at least that's what the people on Reddit always said when anybody asked about it)
