I don't see how it's worse than a false alarm delivered via telephone, although the consequences for the target can be much worse nowadays with the prevalence of so-called "no-knock" warrants. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Another probably worse problem is that SWAT teams are now armed like the military, and the attitudes of those officers can often be as if they are in a war zone, instead of a downtown apartment block or suburb. -- |

I read that this is where the photo came from. "16 Year Old Boy Sentenced 15 Years To Life For Killing A 23 Month Old Baby" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsYVVJywU20 [EDIT] Wikipedia said: Phreaker Matthew Weigman pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy including "involvement in a swatting conspiracy" and attempting to retaliate against a witness. He was sentenced to over 11 years in federal prison. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |
