Nobody can trace a call.
Odd.
And those cowboys are only too glad to forcibly remove a peaceful citizen from his residence.
why do the cops feel the need to show up like they are larping Seal Team Six in Fallujah?
Sure the callers are scum, but do police stupidly have to show up like this for every anonymous, VPN internet call?
I don’t think people making these calls are allowing their real numbers to be discovered. They could use burner phones, ID spoofing, etc.
Someone is going to get killed. The fact that they NEVER seem to trace the calls or seem interested in stopping this and punishing the perpetrators is maddening. Sleepy Pam needs to multi-task.
If caught, they should be charged with attempted murder. Make the punishment so severe that no one dares do it again.
There are ways to hide and replicate phone numbers, and you can bet the left will take advantage.
Says a lot about Austin police department. Seems they are way eager to do this.
I thought every 911 call could be immediately traced. If you accidentally dial 911 and hang up, they generally call you right back.
The problem with swatting is precisely that the police can’t know if an incident is real or not.
The cops are in on it.
The people to question there are those who do the training. I'm betting there's even a trade association for the consultants that channels LEO groupthink.
He then got a pizza with Jaime’s name on it. So did someone else who was swatted.
They are being targeted for more than nuisance pranking.
The numbers are being spoofed.
What we need is a law that says the police can’t act on anything from these calls unless they can confirm the identity of the caller. They can investigate, but they cannot take any aggressive action.
IMO anyone convicted of swatting should receive the death penalty.
There are people who do murder their whole family . So when the claim is made they have to investigate.
This is a huge problem. Many of these cops who have been subjected to this didn’t even know this was a problem.
The “Pizza” connection seems to be the ‘Tipoff’ here to see if the intended Target is at the Residence.
How do you propose to do that?
Someone invades my house, kills my dog and husband, and I am cowering in the bathroom on my pay as you go phone completely terrified.
