Hey guys,

Personally I find this kind of thing pretty intresting, but it makes me feel sad for the world about the douchbaggery of people. Not the hackers nessarily, because anything like this was always going to be targeted by pranksters, but more why people ring the police.
One thing id be more intrested to know is which calls where acturally responded to/investigated/had officers sent....some of them are stated or followed up later with outcomes.
The arguement that it was waste of resources,money and man-power to twitter is kind of void since officers have got to log every call anyway, and it would only take a custom script to also put the heading/title of that call into Twitter....meaning no time was acturally lost by adding it to twitter.
What do ya all think?
