minus-square@Reddfugee42link0•8 months agoWhat percent of arrests do you suppose happen with SWAT storming your house with flashbangs?
minus-square@Redfugeelink1•8 months agoNo idea. But it’s worth considering that there are cases where you might not have the opportunity to power it down.

One second officer, let me just power down my phone real quick.
What percent of arrests do you suppose happen with SWAT storming your house with flashbangs?
No idea. But it’s worth considering that there are cases where you might not have the opportunity to power it down.

The percentage is non-zero. But if you are really concerned about the percentage, you probably shouldn’t rely on this method. It’s a judgement call.
