    How in 2024 do we not have the ability to find and prosecute offenders of false 911 calls like this?

      We do but our cops are fascist and want Trump to win.

          And that’s how COVID became the #1 cop killer for two years. But to hear my cop brother in law recount it: “COVID doesn’t exist for us.”

            The right’s pandemic policy ultimately hurt them more, but given the unknown future cost of long COVID, it could be far worse for everyone than we realize.

              I’m starting to wonder how many of us have long term issues, or that issues that might get worse because of prior covid infections. I’m not sure if we have ever fully recovered our sense of smell and taste.

              My wife became sensitive/allergic to both dairy and soy since being infected last winter, even fully vaccinated at the time, though likely during the least effective period of our vaccines.

            My father in law, who is a retired state police officer, lost so many friends to COVID. I think at one point he had five straight weekends of funerals.

        Ding Ding Ding!

        I managed to quite royally piss off a paranoid county contracted bounty huntress by showing her Trump’s mugshot.

        Good thing she needed me as a witness.

      If the caller has more than two braincells, they’ll user a burner phone, rented phone number etc.

      These types of things are next to impossible to trace if done right

        Yeah but if GOP voters were smart they wouldn’t be voting for the GOP, so should be pretty easy to trace.

          Criminal minds don’t necessarily have to be smart, they have to be criminal.

        Nah, they get caught all the time. There is just an endless supply of brain-dead conservative cultist to keep doing it.

        Remember Cesar Sayoc?

          Yep, that’s why I included the two brain cell clause, covers a good 50% of the population, perhaps even more than that

      people who do that are found frequently… but if they’re not completely dumb, they would be untraceable. (basically a burner phone)

      i remember one guy, who eventually got caught anyways, had a swatting service where he used some aol service that would transcribe phone calls for the blind, and contacted them over tor…
      i think it should be hard for cops to track people… it should be possible to defy the gov

      e.g. if drumpf becomes dictator, it’ll be good to have a way to escape…

      Police are only obliged to protect private property. Especially large collections of private property. Not people.

          I really appreciate all the people responding with valid well thought out counter points and examples. Not simply smashing the download button because they can’t prove otherwise but still don’t like it.
