Some police dept in Texas had my number in their stuff as some judges phone and would call with the craziest shit. Apparently the judge owned a tire shop too. The first call I got was from a sheriff that said he was going to get tires ln his truck and if he could get a discount. I told him to let his whole dept know they could come down for free tires.
Another memorable call I got was on a Friday eve, they had some guy that was a regular problem and he was drunk driving again, they asked if they should take him home or put him In the tank, I said to keep him there until Monday.
After that one I was a little afraid I went too far, but the calls kept coming but usually it was just dumb questions or texts that weren’t that interesting
I used to get calls all the time because a guy with the same first name as me put down my number on his business cards. The first few months I asked to let him know he's handing out the wrong number, but I eventually just told the callers that I changed my mind as was cancelling the contract. I stopped getting calls a couple weeks after starting the sabotage.
Hilariously I got my first call for the judge in like a year this afternoon after making this comment, kind of freaked me out so I just said wrong number and didn’t have any fun.
I mean if they never claimed to be said judge I'd be hard pressed to say that offering advice to someone who asked for it is illegal.
Like if they messaged "Hey, we've pulled over Jim again for a DD, should we keep him overnight or drive him home?" That's just asking advice on what to do. If they instead said "Hey Judge Stevens, we need more information about that case with Jim." Then you probably couldn't answer without getting in trouble excluding "wrong number" or something similar.
