- pessimizer 3y ago"Make an anonymous phone call if you would like the state to murder someone!" Of course totalitarians want to solve it by making sure no one can make an anonymous phone call.

- dymk 3y agoCrazy opinion, but I don't think someone should be able to call in an emergency where a SWAT team might show up, without having that be tracked back to you. This isn't the state proactively keeping tabs on its citizens, it's asking for traceability when somebody initiates an action that might put lives at risk.

- zirgs 3y agoIt's possible to call emergency numbers without a SIM card. So the caller could use a disposable dumb phone that he bought on a flea market or whatever. The best info the cops could get would be the approximate location of the caller. Good luck with that.
- dymk 3y agoGood luck with what? If a call can’t be authenticated, don’t send deadly force.
- Supermancho 3y agoThe expectation that an emergency can be signaled from a single phone call is reasonable (barely one step up from shouting "help"). Objecting the resulting behavior of the emergency response is not relevant to the predictably effective practice.
