Americans! *waves*
Nov. 21st, 2012 03:45 amSo, I was watching a show that I shall not name so I don't spoil people, but the thing was that they stole a cellphone which they needed to call the police with, and they couldn't because it was password protected.
That just confused the heck out of me, because at least in Norway you can call 911 both when the phone is password protected or if it don't have a sim card. As long as the battery is charged you can contact the emergency services with a cell phone.
Am I just being pretentious and assuming my country does it so every country does? Or was it a big fail from the show, where they just throw logic out the window in favour of making it more exciting?
