Yeah sure let's turn it off in places where there's no ski slopes or rollercoasters just in case a mountain or theme park sneaks up on someone and prank calls the police. In fact let's block the number altogether so that no one makes a false call manually because those outnumber the genuine calls as well.

Realistically, if the false positive rate is as high as it sounds like in this article, first responders are eventually going to be forced to ignore the thing. At which point it looses all value anyway
