In response to "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?" by David

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.

Ideally the police training should diffuse a situation rather than send them in on autopilot.

Responses:

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
