    How often are police tipped off before hand that someone is anticipating being SWATed though?

    That situation is practically unheard of so it’s impossible to know how police in the US would respond.

      Yeah, that’s definitely a quandary. But in the case of people who know they might be (or have been previously) targeted with that sort of bullshit, it’s a prudent precaution in the US (and Canada too, evidently)
