      Yeah, reducing government access to private property is the solution. They wait an hour for kids' dire fates in a public school to play out but immediately break into your home without even knocking or ringing the door bell, for a mere call or message sent to them by a rando. And they have the connection data, so if the caller didn't use a burner phone they could easily pinpoint and sue them. But they clearly don't do that or it would be way less common.

    I'm a 911 dispatcher, the problem with those special contact numbers like Lud is talking about is that we aren't allowed to use them in the scenarios that Lud would want us to.
    If the caller is reporting an immanent life safety issue to a third party, we have to send the response regardless. The whole emergency first responder system is set up first and foremost to minimize liability for the city/county/agency/whatever.
    We can see the flag on the address and know that there probably isn't really anything going on. But there's a 1 in a million chance that Lud finally snapped and is roasting Aiden over the firepit in the attic. And the city doesn't want to get sued by Aiden's parents for just calling Lud and accepting his word that "no really Aiden's totally fine and not cringe."
    So the number is always gonna get ignored. The only time we'd be able to use it is if the swatter was reporting that Lud himself was the victim of the crime. But swatters know that, so they don't do it.

    Hey ludwig! You’re 100% not going to see this but I am a 911 dispatcher (for an area MUCH MUCH smaller than LA) but I would recommend you maybe see about calling a nonemergency number for the area. You could likely speak with a dispatcher directly about this, just explain what has been happening and you could probably request that they put your number in with the address file. This way if they get any calls at that address something may flag before they even send any officers out. This also prevents you from having to deal with the middle man (aka the police). Once again I have absolutely no clue how a place such as LAs 911 dispatching works but just a thought.

      I’m shocked he was still alive tbh. We have a bald eagle family that has their nest in our backyard, and they’ve eaten many pets in the neighborhood. We are near a forest/nature preserve so coyotes are also a big problem for local pets. I was devastated because I was convinced he was gone for good.
