I looked around, and I think it depends heavily on where in the world you are. Over here I think only calling emergency numbers knowingly in error is a crime, but there are provisions that in extreme cases you could be held partially liable for someone else’s harm if you are actively wasting the time of the police or the firefighters.
In the UK it is against the law to waste police time, since we don’t have a 5th amendment equivalent you would probably just get instantly hit with that if you tried this and didn’t leave when told to
There’s probably a law against wasting a police officer’s time…
