A Wisconsin woman called 911 over a KFC sandwich order. Now a state lawmaker introduced legislation to make it illegal for someone to call police when they are not reporting a crime.
woman's calling police in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on Dec. 15 after a KFC worker allegedly refused to refund her money"This is the type of absurdity that this bill aims to combat," Myers said of such incidents."There must be a penalty for people who misuse police services. There has to be a degree of responsibility when you contact the police; there needs to be a valid reason. Doing so flippantly can cause undue harm, danger and stress to the individuals involved.
Similar bills, some targeting racial profiling incidents, have been proposed by lawmakers in some other cities such as Grand Rapids, Michigan. Earlier this year,that would make it"a criminal misdemeanor to racially profile people of color for participating in their lives."
