Given the way SWAT currently seems to work, you should know that a fake SWAT call is going to cause serious harm up to and including death, in which case 15 months is far too little. It is up there with “lock someone in a cage with a lion”; sure, technically you didn’t kill them but you knew they would die because of your actions so what is the difference? Also, let us take a serious look at every other charge in existence in cases like this. If 15 months is the sentence for something resulting in death, every other lesser offence should be capped at 15 months. Illegally voted? Caught with drugs? Why are those things “5 years” then? Finally, clearly SWAT itself needs reform. If you’re going to pack a dozen armed guys in a truck and drive over to somebody’s house to blast down the door, YOU NEED a system of double-checks and triple-checks to assess the damned situation first! Given such checks, it should be literally impossible to assault someone that is not actually a threat.
