“The police have got to find a way to combat this SWATting.”
Yeah, it’s called “the Fourth Amendment”. Worked quite well until the courts eviscerated it at the request of law enforcement.
Yeah, that doesn’t work so well anymore. The police and the surveillance state need to be motivated to solve this. If they don’t care that they kill or maim a certain percentage of innocents, then they won’t look for a solution very hard. If real terrorists start using it against the authorities, then they will find a solution.
