Pretty random and pointless comment. Unless I'm missing a subtle reference of some sort?

I think it was a confession.
It is the policy of the documentary crew to remain true observers and not interfere with its subjects.

You may be onto something. I did kinda wonder about that "stab in the dark" wording.

| #11 Posted on 30.7.10 1208.31 | Instant Rating: 6.43 | I'm not sure how this is even possible, but this story just keeps getting worse. According to ESPN, the police are investigating the handling of a 911 call that came from Lorenzen Wright around the time he was last seen. They say they didn't even know about the call until eight (8!!) days after it was received by the dispatcher. The article I just linked to doesn't say this but on First Take this morning they mentioned that gunshots (at least 12, I believe they said) can be heard in the background of the recording of Wright's 911 call.
Sigh. What the hell?

| #12 Posted on 30.7.10 1422.53 | Instant Rating: 5.67 | Even before reading the story, I was guessing it was a cell phone.
911 dispatchers seem wholly unprepared for the switch our culture is undergoing from landlines to cell phones.
Part of the problem is that some people give their old phones to their children, and any cell phone which has power and a SIM card is capable of dialing 911, even if there is no service to it. So you get a lot of prank calls. And there have been cases of someone repeatedly calling 911 from a cell phone and the operator just deciding the call was fake for whatever reason.
Secondly, cellular 911 calls often get misrouted to the wrong city. My bosses' house burnt down in part because it went to the wrong jurisdiction and therefore they didn't send people to the correct location in time. The local fire house was two miles from his house, they would have easily arrived in time if not for the confusion.

I read this two different ways. Are you saying if I take a phone out of a box, put a SIM card in it, and turn it on it'll call 911 successfully before you sign it up to AT&T or Verizon or whomever? Because if I read it the OTHER way, which is "no matter where you are if your phone is on, even if it says 'no service' you can dial 911", that ISN'T true, at least from my recent experience.

My understanding (not from Mr. Boffo, just from previous reading on the subject) is that any cell phone within reach of a cell phone tower can make a 911 call even if that phone isn't currently subscribed to service from T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, etc.
