Hmmm, I find it hard to believe they can actually do it. When my cousin got mugged by gunpoint, I was actually on the phone with him at the time it happened. I immediately called 9-11. After getting a busy signal three times, then the answering machine twice (another thread), I got through. The operator person asked me where the crime was taking place I said I didn't know, but that my cousin was talking on the cell phone at the time with me, so couldn't they just track it through triangulation or GPS? NOPE, was the reply, sorry.

If they actually can do it, then our 9-11 really, really sucks ass.
