I read about a fuckup in the 911-phone-system in some jurisdiction, some years ago:
they had blaring-siren hammer any phone which dialed 911, & someone who was hiding-from a house-invader dialed it, … thereby blowing their concealment.
PLEASE get them to understand that they NEED to make their alarm-system NOT override any emergency-services-hotline call, for the sake of people in such situations.
It wouldn’t kill many people per year, but I’d rather have that be none, than few, right?
( I’m not Aussie, & have zero clue who’d need to be informed of the risk )
