I would greatly value your legal insights.
In order to minimize accidental 911/emergency calls, could I suggest a mini-topic for NerdVittles.
The solution would be a short, Allison voiced, prelude before making 911 emergency calls. This would add a few seconds to placing the 911 call, but would allow the user to hangup if the call was accidental.

Something like the following.

[e911]
exten => 911,1,Answer
exten => 911,n,Playback(msg-911-dialed) ; You dialed 911 to reach emergency services.
exten => 911,n,Playback(msg-911-error) ; If this is in error, please hangup immediately.
exten => 911,n,Wait(2) ; 2 seconds of silence
exten => 911,n,Playback(msg-911-connect) ; You will now be connected to the 911 operator.
exten => 911,n,Wait(2) ; 2 seconds of silence
;
; continue will normal 911 dialout
exten => 911,n,Set(CALLERID(num)=${YOUR_CIDNUM})
exten => 911,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${YOUR_CIDNAME})
exten => 911,n,DIAL(SIP/${YOUR_SIP_PEER}/911},120)
exten => 911,n,Hangup

Any legal issues? Would this be a good thing?

Thanks,

Lonnie

At $3/month it provides the Asterisk Community with a viable e911 solution. To my knowledge there is no "per use" charge and they provide assistance in configuring Asterisk to work with their e911 service to anyone who may need it.
