Would a person get jailtime for repeatedly hanging up on a police station or just a fine?

I guess it would depend on if they have caller id or not....maybe you should find another way to pass the time, or hey they may find one for you.lol

Yes. They put me in jail when my ex lied about being beaten. She hurt herself and then called the police on me. It cost me thousands of $$ to beat the false accusation.\n\nBottom Line: If you are asked any questions by the police, refuse to answer. You don't have to answer! All you have to do is provide ID, nothing else. Their job is to put people in jail. The more you talk, the more likely you are to go to jail. Keep your mouth shut!

Contact the police and file a report.  After he does it a few times, file for a protective order (injunction against harassment) with the court.  The police will serve him and instruct him to stop calling.  If he calls again, it will be a violation of the order and subject him to jail.  Do not call him.

Sorry, cell phones can not receive a collect call under any circumstances. I learned that one the hard way when  a friend of mine needed help and tried to call me collect.\n\nI called my service provider and asked if there was some sort of option I could change or if I could even put a deposit down so that someone could call me collect - no dice.\n\nI believe that jails everywhere are the same, and they can only make collect calls. This is to help them keep a record of the calls the prisoners make and so that they can't bother people who don't want to hear from them. It may even be a law - I'm not sure.

Just call the police a couple times.  That'll do it!  The judge will give them the option of help or jail.

Dude, if you're talking to the cops you're goin' DOWN!\n\nBest way to avoid jail is not to do anything that makes the cops want to talk to you.\n\nUnder the radar, bro! Under the radar!

Varies from state to state.  At worst, you could go to jail, but most don't.  Check your local laws to get the full story.

They usually offer to drop some charges on you if you will agree to help them. If you don't comply, then they will press the charges. The other thing that could happen is they could make your life hard, depending on how bad they want the person they are asking you to set up. \nI recommend looking out for your own safety. If the person you would be setting up is dangerous, has lots of "friends", and would come after you, I would say no. \nI had a friend in a similar situation. He decided after he was released not to go along with it and all that happened was they pressed charges and he had to pay a bunch of fines. That's better than to risk his safety.

not to hang, that would be "the easy way out". he should suffer for what he did, stay in prison for a life time.

Depends on the country, or state.  In Canada, and in some states, it would potentially lead to a charge of obstructing justice.  Obstruction of justice can lead to jail if you are convicted.

depending on where you are from..I am sure laws change from place to place..I would suggest speaking to a lawyer..most will allow you an hour of their time to sit and talk..for free...but the police cannot continue to pull you over or stop you for no reason..4 times for me ..I went to the police station..told them one more time and there would be police harrasment charges laid...it ended there..good luck to ya..gotta hate the cops on power trips

If this was not his first offense, I would assume he has a probation/parole officer.  If so, have him contact his PO and turn himself in.  If it was a first time offense, call the DA and have him 'turn himself in'--he will probably be arrested on the warrant, but could be out on bail in a few hours.  Taking the first step by voluntarily surrendering will be much better for him in the eyes of a judge than being stopped for a minor traffic violation and arrested on the warrant because he got 'caught'.  Added plus is that if he is guilty--turning himself in may influence the judge's decision at sentencing.

You shouldn't go to jail at all. Just a fine. Unless you were drunk or had drugs.

They can. They will most likely issue a bench warrant for your arrest.\nWhether they come looking for you is the issue then. usually they don't even bother. However, if you get pulled over again with a bench warrant, it is straight to jail until the judge can see you at HIS convenience.\nThere are cases where they show up at your workplace and get you. they don't like it when you waste their time.Plus, to top it off, you have to pay to have the warrant removed, pay the ticket, and pay the failure to appear fine.\nNot worth it, just go!!!

The police can detain any person at any time for reasonable cause and you can be held under suspicoun until you have been cleared or charged.  I believe there is a 72 hour limit on how long they may hold you till they must either free or charge you.
