So attracting the attention of a swat team is grounds for exactly what, then?

From Wikipedia: A SWAT team is a group of highly trained police officers who deal with very dangerous criminals. SWAT is an acronym that means Special Weapons And Tactics.

I would say that if you were to attract a SWAT team that would be grounds for considering you a VERY, very dangerous criminal.

Go pay attention. This is not how SWAT is being used anymore. Only a fraction of their activities is for unusual situations.

Unless someone "made a mistake."

SWAT teams have been used to serve warrants for past-due student loans, rental evictions, traffic tickets, and for enforcing environmental regulations against land owners.

These days 'attracting a SWAT team' usually means the gearheads with badges are looking for something to do. If you want substantiation then read Radley Balko's “Rise of the Warrior Cop”.
