    The phone tracing one is misleading. It might take hours for the police to get the location from the ISP (I doubt that), but the phone call doesn’t have to be hours long.

      Im wondering about the grenade one. You would have no teeth afterwards? does it take a special leverage tool to remove or a supreme amount of burlyness. its not easy for teeth to be pulled out.

      Are they talking landlines? Because I’m pretty sure if Police already had contact with cell provider they could find where your phone was (within reason) by seeing which towers it is currently pinging off.

      It takes typing a single command to trace a call.

      What takes time is getting the authorization to the person who has the password permission to issue that command.

      Very few people at the phone company are allowed access to those commands.

      I think it’s the total time including the warrant order
