Oh no!

Post Reply New Topic

I was laying in the bed reading a book earlier when the doorbell rang. It was our police chief, and he wanted to know if anybody here called 911. No, we don't have phones here. That wasn't the bad thing. He was a big man and now he weighs about 130. He looks gaunt. I didn't know what to say, so I complimented him on his weight loss, but didn't remark that he looked half dead.

Oh no! He's such a nice guy too! I PM'd the assistant chief on FB and asked him whats up. I'll let you know when I know. I hope he doesn't have cancer or something.

Dude. I dont mean to be rude or whatever but your life almost seems like a bunch of made up stuff. First of all If 911 was called they have computers that do all that now and know exactly where the call was made from. So if that really happend, Someone would have to have made a phone call from your location.

There are no phones here. It's not made up. This happened once before, late at night. I have a safelink phone but it's out of minutes and off. My daughter's phone is off. He said did somebody make one from a cell phone here. So, yeah, yes it did happen. I got no reason to make s**t up, just because it doesn't happen to you. You wanna call him to ask???? If so, I'll GLADLY give you his number!! !! !

You dont have phones in the house yet you and your daughter both have cell phones? Do you see this as a bit of a problem? You either Do have a phone or dont. I've read some of your other things on here and alot of it just does not pass the smell test. IMO

It's what happens when you go outside. As far as her crazy life, well, mine would probably be equivalently crazy if I like, decided to go out and have friends and stuff. Why?

Having AS makes you weird. So you can't hang out with "normal" people as much, as they don't like you. So you hang out with weird crazy people because they're the only people who accept you. AS="crazy" so you attract literally crazy company.

Also, some people just seem to have a knack for attracting crazy. I have a friend that'd call me up with all kinds of crazy stories he'd have happen, and I'd not believe him. Then I'd hang out with him for the day, have a crazy day going on adventures with him, and go "you know what, he's probably not lying..."



Some people got that going on in real life.

I dont deny that crazy things happen to people or even that some people attract the crazy. I like to think so when I read something and if it doesnt add up then I say something. For instance, What police chief makes home calls these days to a home with no phone for a possible 911 call?

Does that make sence?

Her entire town has like 3-4 cops. She lives in the poorest state in the Union, Mississippi.

And this means what? Do you know how 911 works? Not people knocking on your door asking you if you called, without a telephone. I'll tell you that much

She said,

But apparently nobody butt dialed and All of there Cell phones were off. Even though she said she had no phone? So. how, why, then would the police chief ask if someone had called 911?

Did anyone stop to consider that a person standing outside her home might have made a 911 call from a phone with its Caller ID shut off?

It is possible to triangulate a cell phone's location from two or more nearby cell towers - the more towers, the greater the accuracy.

Stand just a few feet away from someone inside the house, and you may as well be "inside" the house as well, as far as the cell towers are concerned.

She may have been pranked ... perhaps by the man in whose bed her husband found her in the night before...

They can triangulate a sell phone depending on how many towers ping it less than three it can be off by miles. The statement we have no phone could as easily meant we have no time on our cell phones, however most cell phones can call 911 even when they are out of time.

I think its a law that most cell phones can call 911 even though the bill hasnt been paid. I know on my smartphone (wich is pre-paid) T-Mobile They gave me a little thing that said even if I didnt pay my bill I could still use the phone to call 911.

As for being pranked, I guess that could happen. But the way the guy was described to me anyways was of a nice understanding coffee maker for both her and her husband. Not a prankster

Cell phone triangulation collects data and traces the approximate location of the cell phone in question. Because cell phone triangulation requires tracking the strength of the signal from cell phone towers receiving a signal, normal citizens will be unable to perform this function without paying a company for their technology. Once the information is gathered the coordinates will pinpoint you to the position within 25-100 meters of said cell phone. 25 meters is less than 1000 feet. That's less than two-tenths of a mile.

Triangulation is an analog process.

Pinging is a digital process.

A cell phone “ping” is quite simply the process of determining the location, with reasonable accuracy, of a cell phone at any given point in time by utilizing the phone GPS location aware capabilities, it is very similar to GPS vehicle tracking systems. To "ping" in this context means to send a signal to a particular cell phone and have it respond with the requested data. New generation cell phones and mobile service providers are required by federal mandate, via the "E-911" program, to be or become GPS capable so that 911 operators will be able to determine the location of a caller who is making an emergency phone call. When a new digital cell phone is pinged, it determines its latitude and longitude via GPS and sends these coordinates back via the SMS system (the same system used to send text messages). This means that in instances where a fugitive or other missing person has a GPS enabled cell phone (and that the phone has power when being polled, or pinged, but is not necessarily switched on) that the cell phone can be located within a reasonable geographic area -- some say within several feet of the cell phone. An active account may not even be necessary.

Voila!

So, either OOM is lying or ignorant about a 911 call being made by a cell phone from her home, or someone intentionally "pranked" her to draw the police to her home -- perhaps to time how long it takes for the police to respond to a 911 call at her location.

Well considering she said her cell phones were off and we will of course completely ignore the fact that she said she had no phones in the house. Her boyfriend seems like such a prankster.

Rules out pranking.

The only thing left is lying. I know what I believe,

From what I understand, OOM's made herself lots of enemies and less than reputable "friends" over the years. Besides, have you ever heard of this thing called passive-agressiveness? People can act nicely and be complete jerkfaces later.

I don't see why OOM would have any motivation to lie about this on a message board. I mean, she's given her personal information on this board, has offered for many people in the area to hang out with her in real life, talk with her on the phone, etc. If she was anonymous, then maybe she'd get a kick out of posting fictional accounts of fictional OOM's life on this board, but she's probably one of the least anonymous people on this board with the personal info she'd provided us all.

Honey did you remember to take your medication this morning?

WTF, she's just commenting that she's sad someone she knows on a personal level is possibly sick and may be dying. That is the in fact the point of this thread. Not how 911 got called.

Talk about seeing the trees and missing the forest....
