Making a false 911 call is now a felony under an Illinois law sponsored by state Rep. Lisa Dugan, D-Bradley, and signed Monday by Gov. Pat Quinn. Dugan introduced House Bill 6101 in response to the bogus emergency telephone call that led to a car crash that left Kankakee County Deputy Sheriff Dave Stukenborg severely paralyzed. Stukenborg and his family joined Dugan, Quinn and others at the bill signing Monday at the Rehab Institute of Chicago.

I'm still wondering why these people like to do some prank calls on call centers. Like in 911, the average call of the operator per hour is about 100. And 30 percent of the calls are just the serious ones, and the rest are plain prank calls.
Also in other call centers, there will always be prank callers. And I feel sad because these operators been working so hard all day just to cater callers' needs and yet, prank callers still want to do their nasty job. So it's great to know that the local government's been responding to this concern.
