My CW got the cops called on her.

[Mr Hero]

This happened yesterday morning. I got to hear about it from her just now.

SC comes to the desk to get his deposit. CW denies him the deposit because he had smoked in the room.

SC: I didn't know I was in a non-smoking room.
CW: Yes you did. You signed for it.
SC: Where?

CW shows him the signed registration card.

SC: Fine keep my money. (leaves)

He comes back a couple minutes later.

SC: Give me my money back
CW: No.
SC: You're robbing me blind. I'm going to call the cops on you.

SC calls the cops. Cops arrive to get the full story. Cops tell SC that he violated a contract so we are in the right.

In RI, it's illegal to smoke in any hotel rooms. I don't know if it's a misdemeanor charge on the guest if they do so, but there was a chance if it happened here, the SC would have been at least fined by the city or state.

Proof that threatening to call the cops isn't always the "trump card" some people think it is.

Heehee, would have been the icing on the cake if the man had had a few warrants out too...

And/or got fined for wasting the cops' time.

Cops must just LOVE these kinds of calls. Not only is it not an emergency of any kind ... there's not even an issue for them to deal with. Except that of an SC who figures that "I'm calling the cops!" ranks up there with "I'll sue!" to get companies and their representatives to cave in instantly to whatever sucky demand they're making.

I used to do IT support for the Police here. I day I was visiting the CBD station and the police auxiliary behind the counter was very happy. The station was having a very good day. An idiot walked in to renew their gun license and had about 10 traffic warrants outstanding. This idiot had left the NT and came back thinking they were safe but instead got to see the inside of the cells. A foot patrol had spoken to a interstate person sitting outside a cafe in the mall. The interstater was having a meal with one of local persons of interest. Turns out the interstater was the 2nd most wanted person in the country and was arrested with little hassle.

POD. i'm surprised the cops don't take the clown downtown and have a long chat about wasting their time on frivilous crap like this.
