-//**"Swatting" is a criminal offense in many jurisdictions!** Because law enforcement does not like having their time wasted on these things, having someone swatted can saddle you with some hefty fines and even land you in prison. **It also crosses an unspoken criminal code to not get police involved with personal disputes**, so this type of escalation can be responded to in ways you may not be prepared to deal with. Furthermore, the collateral damage it tends to inflict on nearby innocent bystanders is a surefire way to get people hurt or invite retaliation from people you do not even know. Because of these ethical considerations, the **Anonymous Military Institute** does not condone swatting or similar such attacks.//+//**"Swatting" is a criminal offense in many jurisdictions!** Because law enforcement does not like having their time wasted on these things, having someone swatted can saddle you with some hefty fines and even land you in prison. **It also crosses an unspoken criminal code to not get police involved with personal disputes**, so this type of escalation can be responded to in ways you may not be prepared to deal with.

 Defending oneself against swatting is no easy task. While law enforcement agencies have systems in place to track these sorts of things, they are not of much use when a SWAT unit is beating down your front door with a battering ram. In such cases you want to remain calm and cooperative, and not give them any reason to unload a magazine full of ammo into your chest. As long as you haven't done anything wrong, and don't have things like outstanding warrants against you, you will probably make it out of the situation unscathed as long as you stay cool. Defending oneself against swatting is no easy task.
