The police have got to find a way to combat this SWATting. What was described is basically making them unwilling partners in the threat that if the victim doesn't pay the extortion, the crooks will have the victims assaulted or killed.

I play off the messages on my Mom’s phone whenever I visit. One of these “IRS” scams was on it. She’s elderly & lives alone.

Scammers like these deserve to be tracked down to their motel lairs and executed on the spot `while resisting arrest’.

If they want to get deadly, then so be it.

Yeah, it’s called “the Fourth Amendment”. Worked quite well until the courts eviscerated it at the request of law enforcement.
