When a citizen causes someone to be swatted for a bogus reason, he faces criminal charges, fines, and payment of restitution. But when a police officer or police informant causes someone to be swatted for a bogus reason, no charges are filed, no fines imposed, and no restitution is ordered to be paid.

Of course this SWATTING is less effective than the disgruntled wife SWATTING, which takes place when the wife calls the cops and tells them you are barricaded in your garage workshop with several weapons and have threatened to harm anyone who comes near.

Point of order: an AK-47 fires rifle-caliber ammunition, and is therefore not a submachinegun.

It’s not even a monetary thing. This could be deadly. The way some SWAT teams act nowadays in terms of making entry? Somebody could be sound asleep and wake up to the sound of their door being broken in, and if their instinct is to grab for their gun in self defense...

"All await sentencing, and all face up to five years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine and payment of restitution, according to court documents." Looks like the punishment to SWATTING is a "BITCHSLAPPING".

... They were charged with conspiracy to use access devices to modify telecommunications instruments and to access protected telecommunication computers. ...That's an interesting charge. I expect the authorities couldn't make anything else stick. Lying to police officers isn't a crime and filing a false police report requires, I believe, an actual written document.

I want to know how they manipulate the phones so the caller ID comes from the swat recipients number...I thought they went in to the PSAP as DID’s and the caller ID comes from the #5ESS

Well, if Proulx really had been high on drugs and shot up half his family, these pranksters would be hailed as heroes.
Did anyone ever think about that?
I’m just sayin’ is all...

A thought just occurred to me, could it be “SWATTERS” playing the tip line with bad info and causing SWAT raids on bad information?
