I could understand waiting to verify the caller was a police defective or even to wait on a possible warrant, I'm sure a judge could be interrupted to sign and fax a warrant in the afternoon. (After all, stalker can be police officers too) Asking for payment though is pretty bad.

Sign and fax?

These days an officer can request a search warrant from the side of the road on a traffic stop, and have the printed copy in his hand in about 5 mins.

Yes as we all know lawyers are mythical beasts like minotaurs and sphinx.

Bro lawyers deal with the LAW, the literal written rules - theres not much better you can cite than that. They deal with actual judges and scenarios

Police “defective” is probably my new favorite job title.

It was a screw up. They have a process in place to handle emergency calls like this which they don't charge for but somehow the person that they were talking to didn't get that information or screwed up. They probably got fired for it
