Hopefully the case will be handled with respect to the laws of the United States and the several states involved, not the personal feelings of a public employee.
Has it almost been a year since a bomb threat was called into Ottawa... the wrong Ottawa?
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/swatting-wrong-ottawa-1.6343819
(In the Ohio tradition of pronouncing the names that our cities share with foreign ones differently, Ottawa sounds slightly more like Ottowa, perhaps influenced by the nearby Ottoville.)
Indeed! Just a few others from Ohio:
Russia = Roo-shee
Rio Grande = R-eye-o Grand
Versailles = Ver-sales

Really?
Give an example of what you mean.
But let's be fair. While I, and I think Americans who vote Democratic
in general, would not fail to recognize SWATting as a serious crime
even when the victim is someone such as Marjorie Taylor Greene
(described as loathsome in another post here)... because the intensity
of conflict between the pro- and anti- Trump political groups has
reached such a height...
even _though_ they might recognize SWATting MTG as a seriious
crime, they might still leave it to her political supporters to make the >effort of arousing public indignation about that crime.
Given that, it's easy to become confused on this point.

The phone system needs to make spoofing of the origin of calls
flatly impossible. This needs to have been done way back when
SWATting first raised its evil head. I'm generally leery of
government mandates, but I'd definitely support a government
mandate requiring the phone companies to do this post-haste.

The other problem is people hack into private phone switches and then
sell time on them. It has happened to my primary business with our 8x32
(8 outside lines, 32 inside lines) private phone switch. We have had to
put passwords on everything and block all forwarding to outside lines.
We even had to put a password on calling international long distance.
The hackers were calling Ghana and a few other places using call
forwarding from our phone switch. It was a real pain to keep them out.

pray show where that article ‘minimized’ the seriousness of the
incident... other than MTG’s idiotic comment quoted at the end of the >>>>> article.
And if she’s really been SWATed eight times, you’d think that
local cops would have noticed.
Patrick Tomlinson has been swatted at least 46 times.
that’s... excessive. No-one noticed that they were rolling on the same >>> address so often that he could have been on a first-name basis with the
entire squad?
My impression is that sometimes the cops remember the address and some
times they do not.
I'm very late to the party here. I can say that when I was with BCFD and
ran a call more than once to the same location I remembered it. If we
ran more than 3 or 4 times, they became a "frequent flyer".
I think Mr. Nicoll is implying that the cops may have selective memories >depending on where they are responding. That said, the cops can't afford
to let their guard down because the one time that they do will be the
one time someone opens up on them with heavy weapons.
