Ok, so to start off, i didn't 'harass' or 'prank call' anybody. I called a suicide hotline, when i thought it was just a 'free hotline', and i asked a non-suicide related question. They constrewed it as a 'prank' call and called the cops. Then the sherrifs office called ME, and i explained everything that happened, and she said not to do it again, and i said i wouldn't. The cops came to my house, rung the door bell twice, and left. My question is, did i do anything illegal? For one, i didn't KNOWINGLY call an emergency line, nor did i prank them. The law says prank calls are illegal, but the definition of a prank call is when 'you call a line, with the intent of harassing, intimidating or making a joke" Well, i DID call the suicide hotline, but i did not harass, intimidate or plan to joke. It was a serious question. I know when you call the suicide hotline, the cops sometimes come to see if your ok, so was that all they were doing? Abusing their powers to come check on me, just to mess with and HARASS me?
