Now that we have thousands of examples of false IP address associations, via “SWATing” political opponents, isn’t it time LEOs update their execution criteria?
File a lawsuite, walk into court and demonstrate that there is ample evidence to cite that IP address associations ARE UNRELIABLE!!!!!
That is, unless, you have a static IP, like I do.
In that case, it’s likely that these people had a wide open wireless Internet connection, used simple WEP encryption on their wireless router, or simply didn’t change the defaults, like so many retail-level, non-technical people fail to do.
Using programs such as KeePass (search KeePass on SourceForge.net) to generate complex random passwords or entering some numbers and symbols into your standard passwords makes cracking your wireless network that much harder.
If you don’t know how to secure your wireless network, either abstain from having one or hire someone to do it for you.
Update Hell! And lose this cornucopia of opportunities to practice their methods and maybe shoot some dogs or even citizens and get paid vacations as rewards for their “mistakes?”
