As a supervisor on the EMS firld side, I have always had lots of respect for dispatchers’ ability to tell what is a malicious false, an accidental false, and a person unable to talk due to threat or illness. Also, I will get called by dispatch and asked if I want EMS to standby while law enforcement investigates or have law enforcement on standby while we investigate in some cases.

Accidentally calls are not some new thing. Apple watches dial 911 all the time while people exercise.

The answer to this heavily depends on how the funds are supplied. If it is in an account I can buy stock with an instant transfer. if it is cash, it is essentially worthless since counting it and the transaction will take over an hour. If we are counting only the agreement to purchase then I would choose property. While this is sn interesting question, I think it is more of a question about how we define “buy”. One million dollars is a large enough amount to set off lots of red flags and questions, but not so large that you commonly move that amount of money. For someone who frequently does large transactions it would be basically business as usual. For the average person it would be a logistical nightmare.
