>>You would think the police would dial back the number to see whether it was spoofed.
You’d think the DAs would file charges against the callers for making false charges and perhaps attempted murder (since that is the intent of swatting)
The numbers are “untraceable”. Unless of course, you do it.
I would wish that was the case. But it isn't.
Tracking down Swatters is technically possible. It is expensive and usually requires Federal assistance. Things get very tricky if the Swatter is in another State, as they often are. Your local District Attorney typically does not want to do that much work or let the Federales take charge of the case.
And if they are a "progressive" Soros DA, they probably approve of the Swatter target anyway.
You will see Swatters taken down very quickly if their target is a prominent Leftist politician or a supporter of same.
Can’t file charges against someone if you don’t know who they are.
