911 calls are recorded. We see it all the time in various cases. Those tapes are transcribed. We see it all the time in news clips. Those transcriptions are also more easily searched. Why is this any better?


How does that help someone who has already died ?


You know it's the news orgs that transcribe the calls, right?


Of course. Not really sure what you think is a gotcha here though


It's not a "gotcha"?

It's just that not all calls are transcribed, and thus are not easily searchable. An extremely small fraction of them are transcribed, and I don't really see how one searches through those that are.

Maybe I've missed something here though.
