What does this have to do with SWAT teams?
1 comments

If a person knows where another person lives, the first person can send a heavily armed SWAT detachment to the second person’s home. This is one reason my home is held in trust, so it’s a little more difficult for some idiot to try this.

I imagine if this route was banned, it would be a lot easier to figure out where a person lives, which would generally result in decreased privacy, safety, and security.
