The sensible thing to do would be for the suspect to use this opportunity to your lawyer, best friend, or relative, who will help them take care of the matter. But in comedies, this call is often abused by using it to be a nuisance, or to call someone completely unrelated. If the arrest was for harassing someone over the phone, the character will most likely call them one more time. If the arrest was for something else, they might do something ridiculous like order a pizza.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'': In the B-Plot of "[[Recap/TheLooneyTunesShowS2E15TheBlackWidow The Black Widow]]", Daffy and Porky get arrested for public nudity (which they have to point out since they're [[AnimalsLackAttributes cartoon animals]]) and incarcerated in a prison in Tacapulco. Slowpoke Rodriguez, the sheriff of Tacapulco, allows them to make one phone call. Daffy first tries calling Bugs, who ends up getting detected by the museum's guards for trying to help Lola return the Elmhurst diamond she stole (long story), leading to him getting arrested for breaking and entering. Fortunately for Daffy, Slowpoke allows him to make another phone call since Bugs didn't answer, and this time, Daffy calls Speedy Gonzales, who makes an eerily accurate guess that Daffy is in a Mexican jail and goes to Tacapulco to bail him out.
