If a person suffered from obsessive complusive disorder and they had to call a police information desk 12 times in a row from their home phone, then the next day do the same thing 12 times in a row each time asking a real legit question, also they are asking this question 12 times in a row to the same phone operator. Do you think this would be considered phone harrassment and would the person who called the police station 24 times in 2 days be arrested?

Well, you were only calling a police desk, not 911 right? So I'm sure you probably won't be arrested. If there is a problem, just explain the situation. Maybe consider seeking cognitive behavioural therapy, so that you can deal with the compulsions and deal with them more efficiently, which does not cause a nuisance. Trust me I know how you feel, I'm in the same boat, but there comes a time when we have to try to help ourselves, as it will only become progressively worse. Good luck : )

Get away with? I don't think that person is "getting away" with anything! Seems to me that they're already in a prison.
However, the police may have the authority to refer the person for mental health evaluation, which doesn't sound like such a bad idea to me. Some help would be in order.

you probably won't get arrested, but you can be fined or (since you're calling the exact place that can order this sort of thing) they can make you go into treatment for the OCD so you don't have and/or can control those compulsions.
