A local news report about a woman who ordered a pizza on a 911 call to discreetly signal domestic violence and give her address to the dispatcher. The coverage includes the actual dispatcher call.

Cited as a real example of coded language used to get help in emergency calls without alerting an abuser.

People also sometimes talk in coded language to avoid alerting suspects. I'm not sure LLMs would be capable to pick up on that. Example: ▶ this video

Your comment reminds me of a video clip I saw where someone dialed 911 and proceeded to "order a pizza," thus giving them her address. She got lucky and the dispatcher was fairly quick to figure it out and didn't hang up on her. ▶ this video
