Then I get a prepaid phone at Wal-mart, make the call, then pull the battery and destroy the SIM.

- corresation 14y agoOkay then that is a completely different scenario. In this case 9/11 is treating the calls as critical because they are shown to them as coming from the subject's house. If they instead popped up as a pay-as-you-go phone from an unknown person (recall also that all cell providers have to provide credible geolocation of calls, which if you're going through a Western cell tower you cannot spoof) that is ten states away, yeah they might not send the SWAT team.
- koenigdavidmj 14y agoIt's still plausible if you want to SWAT somebody locally. Just be in the general area of the same city and report shots fired. I have no clue about the level of precision in cell tower geolocation, so I'm not sure how close you would need to be (which obviously ties to how likely it is to get caught).
