  - Approximately 2012 -- nm - Beryllium Dec 30, 15:13
- Over a $1 or $2 wager?? -- nm - . Dec 30, 14:21
- Let me ask a legal question. Why don't the cops require some sort of verification when they're prepared to send in a SWAT team? - David Dec 30, 14:19 23
  - Because they have to take threats at their word, due to the risk of it being an actual life or death situation. - znufrii Dec 30, 14:51 8
    - Is it more liability than they're facing for killing an innocent person? - David Dec 30, 14:56 7
      - Not to mention why would an assailant be interested in providing that information? - znufrii Dec 30, 14:59 6
        
        I don't follow your reasoning. Did you mean to say assailant? -- nm - David Dec 30, 15:00 5
        
        That's what this call was. The prankster/murderer was claiming to be the assailant, holding his family hostage. - znufrii Dec 30, 15:01 4
        
        I really don't follow you. Why would you think such an assertion shouldn't require due diligence? -- nm - David Dec 30, 15:05 3
        
        It should. And it should also require a response to protect against a potential threat to public safety. - znufrii Dec 30, 15:41 1
        
        They could have done something as easy as call the home, or the neighbors -- nm - . Dec 30, 15:50
        
        its more fun being an ahole when you have an audience -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 30, 15:20
  - I imagine govs will tell you that requiring ID is a disincentive to reporting, and when a life is potentially on the line they need to respond asap. - Max Dec 30, 14:26 3
    - Could they at least verify that the call came from where it said it was? -- nm - . Dec 30, 14:31 2
      - calls from landlines and cell phones yes, they will still ask your number just to verify your are telling some truth, VOIP phones not so much. - zeitgeist Dec 30, 15:25
      - Saw the post below of how it was reported, so no. -- nm - . Dec 30, 14:45
  - Because they see themselves as a military strike force. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 30, 14:23 1
    - This certainly is not a wrong answer. -- nm - Qale Dec 30, 14:31
  - the whole thing is maddening. He called city hall, not the police, didn't have a local number and refused to give more details to the dispatcher. - Reagen Dec 30, 14:23 7
    - Jeez, I hope he doesn't get off from charge of making false police report because he didn't actually report to the police -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 30, 14:55 3
      - He can probably be charged with some level of murder - manslaughter, depraved indifference... -- nm - . Dec 30, 14:58 2
        
        I hope so, he knowingly put someone in danger, it was a forseeable risk (and he had been charged with swatting before) -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 30, 15:15 1
        
        I expect they'll also look at the past threats he's confessed to on Twitter. -- nm - Ender Dec 30, 15:33
    - There's obviously some steps missing here. -- nm - . Dec 30, 14:45

    - First of all, don't buy Ripple right now. It's in the profit-taking phase. Second, I'll talk about this in a later post. -- nm - David Dec 30, 14:20 1
      - I knew it, night Train and Boones farm for the win -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 30, 14:53
