Nobody mentioned letting anyone off the hook. That's a very internet thing to claim your opponent has said.
The question is pragmatic: are you going to surveil and psychologically analyze everyone in the world in order to detect and pre-crime imprison everyone who might potentially call in a false tip anonymously, or are you going to control your police forces so they don't attack people with sometimes deadly force based solely on anonymous tips?
- antiframe 3y agoThe first sentence of the first post that started this thread said the victim was not being harassed by the swatters.
- mlyle 3y ago> are you going to surveil and psychologically analyze everyone in the world in order to detect and pre-crime imprison everyone No one suggested this; strawman. There are a whole lot of ways to harass someone using proxies beyond swatting and the traditional ordering of 40 pizzas to their house. Even if any given proxy only falls for it once it can be really bad. Coming up with ways to counter these kinds of harassment campaigns is important, but it probably doesn't involve "pre-crime imprison[ment]".
