This is actually more important then it sounds. Not long ago I was
driving around in Northern New Hampshire on I93 and saw a situation I
believed should be reported to the police. I used my cell phone to dial
"*SP" (which I saw on many signs in Massachusetts claiming it was how
you called the State Police).
Well, someone answers "State Police" and I begin to describe where I am.
Much confusion results until I realize that I am talking to the
MASSACHUSETTS State Police even when in Northern New Hampshire!
