California lawmakers just passed a bill to prevent racially motivated 911 calls.
The bill would make calling 911 to harass or violate the rights of a person based on their race, religion or gender a hate crime. Under the new bill, calls could result in jail times and fines. As for the bill, it already passed in both the Senate and Assembly. Now it's up to governor Newsom to review it.
It's illegal to make false police reports, but according to the law, it doesn't address discrimination.
