Yes, of course. It's just a convenience tip.

No, each police department handles it their own way. Some have a regular number for non-emergencies, and some direct the non-emergency number to 911 dispatchers after hours. Some don't have a number dedicated as "non-emergency " so you either call their main local number or 911. It's all up to the individual police department to decide how they want to handle calls.

I have no idea. I do know that I have seen numerous reports of people being charged with abusing the 911 system for trivial complaints. I suspect they are serial abusers, though, that call 911 for ridiculous reasons.

Hey, it's just a tip. Take it or leave it but some might find it useful. None of these LPTs are for everyone. Use the ones you think are useful to you and ignore the rest.

Reply to LPT: With winter weather coming along, consider adding the phone number of any railroads you pass over on your daily commute. by [deleted]
While the RR does not own ALL the trains on it's tracks, it DOES know exactly where every train on their tracks are at (almost) all times.
That being said, there might not be time to stop a train for a car stuck on the track. Get out of the car fast and THEN call 911. Some trains take over a mile to stop, depending upon the grade and speed of the train.

It would be both easier and quicker to have it in your contacts though.

Reply to LPT pour liquids from cartons with the opening at the top and closer to you, rather than directly over your container from underneath. Doing it this way allows airflow and a smooth pour and you won't end up with an inconsistent flow and a potentially messy spill. by basementdiplomat
Not sure what they are trying to say.

Wow, sorry that happened to you! I would have called 911 for that situation also.
