The cops DO know she’s being swatted repeatedly. They need to work something out with her .... maybe she could give someone in the police department (SWAT commander, police chief, etc.) a private number. Set up a code word that only MTG & designated police personnel know.
Swatting call comes in:
~ police call MTG on designated, private phone - she gives them the “code” word meaning all is ok - no SWAT response, but send two* officers just to check on things in general.
~ No answer - SWAT responds.
~ No code word if phone is answered by MTG or it’s not MTG who answers, SWAT responds.
Just an idea to keep police resources from being wasted & also putting MTG in danger. The goal of swatting is to get her killed - it’s attempted murder & if they catch the perpetrator(s), that is what the charge ‘should’ be.
MTG is a sitting member of Congress. The local cops should have additional, technical resources (Capitol Police, likely FBI) available to try to catch the perps.
*two officers are the usual to send on certain calls (domestics, for example) & that should apply here.
I agree and that sounds like a good idea.
I think their goal is harassment - get her to think being in congress just isn’t worth it and resign. That ain’t gonna work.
Your solution makes sense, as would giving her a police radio, but having to validate the call with police in the middle of the night would be equal in terms of harassment.
Modern technology probably makes it possible for the perps to remain anonymous.
