Tracing Calls / Police Dispatch + Wiretaps / Bugs

Recommended Posts

When a person calls 911 (or 000, depending on what they go with), the police should be able to detect where the call is coming from, as long as the person stays on the line for long enough. It could take, for example, 1 minute, or 2 for the police to properly trace a call, and if the person hangs up before then, it fails. 

Say somebody is in a hostage situation where talking on the phone would get them killed, they could call the cops and leave the line open so the cops can hear everything that is going on, and also trace the call so that they can find out where it is going down. 

Also, wiretaps really need to be in the game. For phones, so that the feds can listen in on organised crime related calls, but also bugs that can be hidden away in houses. I just can't see them not being in the game.

And of course if there are going to be wiretaps, there really need to be payphones. Mobsters often use payphones because they cannot be bugged, whereas their own phones will often be bugged. Having bugs and wiretaps would add more to the FBI job, because not only would they have to install them, but they would also have to listen in on them for incriminating information.
