I recall hearing of a mode one time where elevators would only go to the 2nd floor and not the 1st. Something for crime, etc.

Maybe it was from a movie or something ...

Edit : Thanks! Found it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator#Riot_mode

Riot mode.
So only going 0 to 2 and that’s it? Not sure I understand the use case.
1st floor, for many people, refers to the ground floor.

Basically, it excludes the ground level/publicly accessible floor, like a hotel lobby.
