Find answers to your legal question.





If a got arrested in a foreign country and call 911 would they transfer my call to the embassy?

If i had only one call and dial 911 from my personal phone, would they help me and transfer the call to the embassy or the law doesn't require any help since your out of the united states.Are they obligate to help anyway?

What makes you think 911 will work anywhere other than North America?

911 only works in the US. However, if you are arrested in a foreign country you can request that the arresting entity contact the nearest US embassy or consulate and they must do it; they must do it even if you don't ask. The Geneva Convention on Consular Relations says so.

BTW, the "one call" rule is a US television convention: it doesn't actually exist.

First of all 911 system is North American countries. Before traveling to a foreign nation you should find out what the laws are and carry with you contact information for the U.S. Embassy or consulate for each country you plan on visiting. Laws in many countries can be much harsher and the system of trial vastly different. Your protections under our Constitution end when you set foot in a foreign land, there you are subject to the laws and methods of that country. So avoid being arrested, as many countries have little love for Americans and little tolerance for us violating their laws.

NO i just left Mexico city and we did not get any help from any body until the FBI AGENT from the US embassy office came to our rescue,no 911 in foreign countries and it goes to the nearest local of 911

Contact your embassy for assistance when you are arrested in another country. It is the duty of your diplomats to protect your rights in another country.
