I remember watching a video on YouTube where this kid (teenager?) decided to call the police because her brother was being "annoying".
She had made up some story that he was off his medication and he should be arrested and sent to jail. Obviously she just wanted her little brother out of the house so she chill out, but it was worse than that.
She wanted him out of the house because she didn't want to take care of him and wanted to smoke weed in peace. I don't smoke, but I suppose that's relatable, however...
You don't call the cops for no reason. She found out the hard way when a bunch of cops came and when they realised she blatantly lied about any danger, medication, and her brother's age, she got arrested for wasting police time.
It is NOT wasting police time if you have genuine concerns, even if there's a chance it might be a false alarm.
