Commuter calls 999 to moan his bus is late so police shame him with call log

Cops have shamed an 'idiot' commuter with astonishing audio of him phoning 999 because he was furious his BUS was late.

The clip from North Yorkshire Police features a man despairing that no buses are 'forthcoming' and even when staff point out the line was reserved for emergencies he angrily claims that it is one.

The force, who receive around 8,726 ‘999’ emergency calls and 12,278 ‘101’ non-emergency calls a month, released the footage in a bid to remind people of the importance of only dialling the numbers when appropriate.
