We can prevent swatting by every registered living area have video and audio monitors that only government agents can access for good reasons. So then if someone calls a swat on a place, the ones who might respond to the swat can check their backlogs if some bad stuff was happening at that registered location. If nothing bad happen there then maybe it was a swat or at least they consider the invasion more carefully. Registered living locations have to be registered and inspected kind of like vehicle inspections for the common good of society.
EDIT: Maybe at first you are allowed to opt-out of registration if you are weird about privacy but they won't be able to tell so easily if you are getting swatted or not.
- Vecr 3y agoI'm assuming this is satire, but if it's not I really don't want cameras in my house.
- MaxHoppersGhost 3y agoIs this a serious suggestion? I would never trust the government of any country to keep that feed secure or not abuse it.

- shusaku 3y ago> We asked this question as part of our survey on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in order to see whether there is a relationship between opinions on the government issuing a central bank digital currency and government installing cameras in homes. Man is it hard to take such a survey in good faith when you read things like that…
- lockhouse 3y agoWhy? CBDCs despite the fancy window dressing are yet another attempt by the government to surveil and control us. Sure there are some nice features that would be very convenient for us all, but the real end goal is to replace physical currency. Cash allows for anonymous, nearly untraceable financial transactions. CBDCs keep a record of all transactions and like cameras in our houses, they allow the government to spy into our personal lives for "the greater good", "stopping terrorists", or "think of the children".
- tbrownaw 3y agoWe can call it a telescreen, and have the government monitors also be able to use it to inform you of important things.
- ftxbro 3y ago> "use it to inform you of important things" I think phones are better for that. Everyone is carrying one and I think there are already message protocols where some government alerts are sent to everyone? Like missile warnings or some emergency situation?
