A couple of weeks back I had a couple of police officers knocking on my door
saying someone had placed a 911 call from my home. When I denied it, one of
them got a little angry and insistent. After I managed to calm the
discussion down, they asked me to check my phone line, which turned out to
be noisy static with no dial tone. They sounded almost disappointed and
left.
The whole conversation had an unreal feeling about it, as if they were
fishing for something. If so, they were at the wrong place since I'm a
63-year old retired public servant who leads a very quiet life. But my
question is, can static on a phone line cause a false call to be placed to
911 (along with the number identification obviously)? I live in the country
near Ottawa Ontario and there had been a light rain the night before. The
dial tone came back the following morning.
