Yes, you’re being recorded and most people don’t realize that with a 911 call it is still recording everything your phone can hear 30 seconds prior to and after you hang up.

There was a case a few years back where a man was convicted of first degree murder over comments he made after hanging up. Absent those comments it looked like lawful self defense in every way.

I’ll clean it up but he stated to the person he was with that he was glad that the perp was dead because he’d been wanting to kill him for years.

I wish I could remember exactly when and where it occurred so I could give a proper citation.

Communication is key in any conversation. What is the message you are sending? Certain lines can mean multiple things where the massage you are sending can be twisted into other meanings. Be minimal on your words and precise on all answers. Do not elaborate, theorize, or just converse with the 9-1-1 person. As Sargent Friday would say," Just the facts mam’!"
