I really think the people doing this are committing acts of terrorism and should be treated as such.
This kind of thing is rather unnerving. I would not be surprised if something like this would end up with people getting killed.
With police thinking they are going into a danger area and people who could be well armed and thinking they are being home invaded, I could see it getting very ugly. There have already been a few episodes where law enforcement has been killed using no knock entry and such, and several more than that where people in their homes who were killed.
It's bad enough when you just answer the door with a video game controller in your hand you get killed, if anyone remembers that from a while back. I really think the people doing this are committing acts of terrorism and should be treated as such.
Already has, here is a story of a raid on a wrong house. http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=95475Something like this is eventually going to cost someone their life...and it isn't going to be the police at fault. Some dude is going to think he having a break in...go for his gun and get shot all to hell. The cops aren't expecting a prank, he isn't expecting a police raid.
Any freedom or rights that's just given to you by the gov't, can just as easily be taken away by said gov't. The founding fathers had to earn those by beating the British.
What happened to sending a squad car out to just check if the threat is even real?
Natural rights aren't given by a government, son.

I <3 you.
except calling an armed response team to raid your home isn't a prank, it's borderline attempted murderI've heard this term before but had no idea that it was something like this. This is so fucked up.
Seems like every generation that comes along is trying to bet bigger then the previous when it comes to pranks.

On a moderately related note I've just had a google search return a list of results including this:
"In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at ChillingEffects.org."
I'm not sure if this is common now but I've never noticed it before. Throw in the bizarre right to forget laws in Europe and it feels like we're seeing the beginning of the end for the freedom of the internet.
RIP nugget porn.
Perhaps if we catch any of these swatters we can treat them like the terrorists they are and send them to Guantanamoexcept calling an armed response team to raid your home isn't a prank, it's borderline attempted murder
