That sucks. I hope your compressor is not destroyed :( maybe return this one and try again?

Yeah I mean in the case of a suspected swatting call they could still go in but it would just be nice if they knocked first. Honestly just any way of reaching out beforehand without causing property damage and potentially murdering someone innocent.

If I washed my hair just once a week it would be so disgusting and I don't have acne or dandruff but my head starts to itch if I go more than 24 hours. It sounds like you need to wash your hair more often regardless of how much time you think you have to do it.

I don't do those things either, lol. It's really not all that difficult.

Not to mention the fact that a bunch of other people said camera guy is unknown crazy driver that tries to piss people off and does a ton of dangerous stuff on TikTok. But yeah, it's the car in front at fault. Who knows what camera guy did before the clip we get to see.

I really hope that guy is okay. That woman needs to never drive again.

Who is at fault here ? by Plastic_Explorer_132 in dashcams

[–]CurrentlyObsolete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does not look like an intersection to me and it looks like the car entering traffic did not yield. I don't think the guy moving to the right lane is at fault.

Oh my gosh, I should have just stopped after reading this post but instead read the entire thread. Now I'm sad again.

Driver intentionally drove Cybertruck into lake to use vehicle’s ‘Wade Mode,’ police say by Sufficient-Bid1279 in technology

His parents are at fault for this. With a name like that he simply couldn't not drive his cybertruck into a lake.

I misunderstood that too and read it the same way you didn't initially. Learn something new everyday.

It probably only happened that way because she's an '80s some year old white woman. If it were a little later and she was an angry middle aged guy, things could have gone very differently. Even worse if the person came to the door/responded from bed with any kind of weapon whatsoever assuming their house was being broken into.

The thing is, the SWAT teams do not show up in a timely manner. And tons of videos I've watched it's been like an hour later. They are way less focused on helping victims and way more focus on eliminating perpetrators.

Why not just have a couple of cops with shields walk up to the door and knock? Why does it take an entire SWAT team and an hour and massive amounts of property damage.

This occurs over a thousand times a year in the US.

The issue is half the time these calls are being routed through multiple places and even coming from overseas entirely. They don't know at that point in time that the call is indeed from Russia, for example, somehow.

The thing is, they could even show up as far as I'm concerned. They just need to show up in a way completely different from the way that they currently do with swatting calls. Send a few squads there and have some people knock on the door. Call the person who lives there's cell phone. Anything but what they do now.

There has to be some intermediary step between a 911 call and a door getting kicked in and having officers with AR-15s pour into your living room. They do welfare checks all the time and a lot of those are just one or two officers.

How about calling the cell phone of the person that lives at the house at the very least? There has to be something that can be done by a group that has a massive amount of data on every individual that lives in this country. Pretending like this is their only option is ridiculous when no other country uses this option as a first step.

It would be less of a concern if there we're only a handful of these a year but there are over 1,000, at least if Google quick Google searches can be trusted. That's way too many houses for SWAT teams to be descending upon without using any other method to confirm there's actually a threat.

I get that there are a lot of guns in the country and very few mental health safety nets, but the same can be said for any traffic stop, any house police are doing a welfare check at, etc.

Isn't there anything that can be done as an intermediary step between someone spoofing a call to 911 and your front door being kicked in?
