In America we have a government that is basically a nanny. They believe we need someone to save us from our own stupidity, and to enable young children to call 911 and receive help if a parent/guardian/baby sitter is disabled. So they have set up a system that upon dialing 911 will automatically give the emrgency services the address that the call was issued from. While all the other articles had valid points they didn't answer your question.
