I don't understand the OP. Clarify


I think he means that if you call someone with the intent of just leaving a message or just listening to a recorded message on an answering machine, and someone answers the phone, and you hang up because you don't have the time to talk to the person, or don't want to talk to the person, it is illegal.

It's called a crank call.

Most all states have similar regulations. This seems like faux outrage over nothing to me. Do you think if you call someone accidentally and hang up you're going to be prosecuted? These laws are in place to stop harassment. I'm not sure I see the problem?
 
we get cold calls like these on mobile phones - to see if your number is still connected. If you answer, they know you are connected, and start spamming you.
 
Up here they have this thing..."Call Display". It shows the dialer's number within the first ring...so I know everyone that has called me. Crank calls don't hardly exist around here unless you have your phone set up to block display.

Arizona has some of the best gun laws in the country. What's so bad about AZ other than the nasty heat?

WA is only crazy because of the number of Seattle type nuts and the constant ability to only elect one party into office and everyone wonders why our taxes (and business taxes) are so nasty....oh and the number of guys who are into bestiality seems high.
 
My home state is a cesspool of corruption, graft, and fraud. If the US got an enema, it would be inserted here. It should be rented out by the acre for target practice.

Think about it.

It's an attempt to reduce crank phone calls or calls to see if a phone number is valid for telemarketing purposes. If you put some thought into it, you'd realize it's not such a bad idea.
 
It is illegal to honk in Illinois unless it it is specifically to warn another motorist. In other words it is illegal to honk just to say "hello"

Lest I mention that us "Seattle type nuts" aren't the ones with the, ahem, proclivity you mentioned later. That seems to be more popular out in the sticks. Just sayin...

Heck of a think for a state to be known for, huh?
