"999" seems like it would be awful prone to butt-dials.

Years ago I was sitting on a park bench out on a local bike path, a good mile to mile and a half away from the nearest location where auto traffic was permitted.

A city police car came prowling down the bike path, pulled right up to me, and asked if I was Mr {MyLastName}....that 911 has received a non-responsive call, and they just wanted to make sure that I was alright. Sure enough, the cell phone in my pocket had jangled up against my keys, and butt-dialed 911.

Big Brother is all around us,Like Gene Hackman said in the movie "Enemy of the State", once you start using the high tech available to you, they already own you.

Many non thinkers in the universe... I had an issue and wanted to talk to our police dept and dialed their front desk and got a person to voice my issue.

Ya sometimes I wonder if these phones actually DO NOT DIAL 911 .. The police can listen in whenever they want and JUST TELL US THE PHONE DIALED! (As they dont want people knowing they are listening)
