A fake emergency call to police resulted in officers responding Friday night to the home of Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows just a day after she removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause.
She becomes the latest elected politician to become a target of swatting, which involves making a prank phone call to emergency services with the intent that a large first responder presence, including SWAT teams, will show up at a residence.
Bellows was not home when the swatting call was made, and responding officers found nothing suspicious.
You really want to try and work out such a system? Tell me how your algorithm is going to work and I’ll start throwing exceptions.
Lives are on the line! You better have quite the bulletproof plan.
Since when do cops give a single shit about people’s lives?
They have obligation to pretend they do.
