odd law lesson.

this used to not be illegal in california.

fun fact about orson welles. at the point when he was doing a lot of theater work while directing citizen kane, there was no rule about how an ambulance could be used. if he didn't want to drive, he called an ambulance. if he was running late, he called an ambulance.

that said, benjamin dewer, 26, is no orson welles.

dewer called 911 twice, to let them know that he was hungry and needed a ride to the park.
needless to say, not an emergency. he was charged with making false 911 calls, and is being held on $1,000 bail.

so hooray for creative calling, and HOORAY FLORIDA!
