You totally can. You think the cops won’t show up with force if they get a call from a voip number or prepaid sim? They will.
I’d argue that spoofing the victims number is in fact more likely to result in an unsuccessful swat, as the cops might end up calling you back and reaching the target.
Fuck, kids have been swatting each other using TTS relays since at least the early 2000s.
