Tracy, California residents will now have to pay every time they call 9-1-1 for a medical emergency.
But there are a couple of options. Residents can pay a $48 voluntary fee for the year which allows them to call 9-1-1 as many times as necessary.
Or, there’s the option of not signing up for the annual fee. Instead, they will be charged $300 if they make a call for help.
As far as we know this is the only City that has taken this type of approach anywhere in the Country.
I would have to contest the Constitutionality of this issue.
This sort of thing should be Illegal.
I bet we are going to be hearing about Legal Action’s being taken against the City.
If so this will be one hell of a Governmental Tort Action.
