MTG swatted. Her two daughters swatted. Jack Posobiec parents swatted. Now Rick Scott, FL Senator was swatted last night. Fox News Legal Analyst Johnathan Turley gets swatted after talking about it on air. GA Lt Governor was swatted as well. MTG is saying on X many more Republican officials report incidents.
Of course, the FBI is too busy chasing grandmothers who were let into Congress to even bother investigating.
It isn't even 2024 yet, shit's already getting crazy.
See, that's the problem. The call comes in from a supposed eyewitness. That is "evidence." Bad actors weaponizing emergencies evidently haven't hurt the bureaucracy enough to give pause to policy.
I don't what goes on with that, but it really seems like there isn't communication between dispatchers and departments to say "by the way, we've had fake calls to this address before."
It's hearsay, not evidence.
It's the only way police are summoned when something is happening if they aren't coincidentally there.
So? It's still hearsay. That's why it's not admissible in court when it's just some random anonymous statement.
We're not building a court case. We're establishing probable cause for police intervention. I'm aware it's not hard evidence (hence my quotation marks).
