No, it is not a good idea, because you WILL get arrested for doing it. They can easily trace the phone call, and you will be sent to jail for misusing the 911 service.
Added: Most (all?) 9-1-1 centers in the US have the capability of tracing incoming calls back to a specific number (even cellphones) so that they can backtrace the caller should they get cut off in the middle of their call, or for some reason be unable to complete it.
