The MO is almost always used. You would think the police would dial back the number to see whether it was spoofed.
They did this to Marjorie Taylor Greene, twice!
>>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.
That was a stupid stupid comment and is not allowed on this site.
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.
Sorry for this outrage, but hope the dude changes the name of his site.
Every Judge in America should be swatted regularly and it should be LEGAL to do so if the intend4ed target is a Public Servant.

Nope!
If you swat a private citizen, they’ll just say they are ‘investigating’, which of course, they aren’t.
If you swat a judge or even a bureaucrat, they’ll sick the FBI on you, and they actually will “investigate”.
Two tier America.
Been around a long time..................
They relish the opportunities to keep us in a state of terror and easily controlled.
The Public Servants came up with these No Knock Raid policies which appear to be sanctioned with little or no evidence of Probable Cause. They deserve to LIVE IT.
I think I’ll put a sign on my door, “Are you here to swat me again?”
At least if I ever was swatted, it would give them pause...

In the old days, we just used a phone booth. Obviously that was before cameras everywhere as well. Now you need a burner phone, that you bought at a convenience store while wearing a disguise, which you changed into from a men’s room somewhere in a different city or, if you are really paranoid, a different continent.
Bottom line: If they want you bad enough, they will find you.
Yep. see my post above this one, I’m only “sort of” kidding in it.
I think they use Internet and IP spoofing to mimic a phone call.
Can’t file charges against someone if you don’t know who they are.
Why isn’t swatting prosecuted as attempted murder?
And murder if successful?
