Instead they use other charges with a few years?
Tricking the police to go kill people is not an "accident" or "oops" or "just kidding", it's a "well that's enough freedom for this lifetime, guess I want to spend rest of my life in prison".
https://twitter.com/ppathole/status/1116670170980859905 Tech enthusiasts: My entire house is smart. Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don't recognize. The only modification i'd recommend is replacing the gun with something simpler, like a sledgehammer. Can't be too careful.
As a sysadmin of many decades, I have not owned a printer in 15 years, and no self respecting tech worker I know would ever have one of them in their home. I do have an enterprise grade network, next gen firewall, a homelab, and a host of vlans with home automation segmented off to a dedicated network with zero internet access
"no self respecting tech worker". But yeah, have fun with your enterprise grade network. Hyperbole much?

While true, the culture of guns in Switzerland is very different to the US.
People spread this detail without knowing that the Swiss instead strickly control access to ammunition.
The difference is strong regulations disallowing carrying/transporting loaded weapons and enforcing storage requirements as well as a very different gun culture without the emphasis on handguns for self-protection.

They are more or less stating that the problem is overzealous responses from police, rather than police receiving a fake call for which a SWAT team would be an appropriate response. Do police in other countries simply not have the capacity to deal with people in imminent danger? Their response to getting a call claiming that there's a crazy person in the house about to murder the caller is to knock politely and ask q…
I can’t think of a single kind of situation requiring a police response where surprise escalation is a key component that will help solve that situation in favor of controlled investigation and a focus on de-escalation.

Brother used to have this HL2030 which worked forever and was dirt cheap. I'd keep one if you could still buy them and if I wasn't travelling them. Doesn't require a host of vlans either. "no self respecting tech worker". But yeah, have fun with your enterprise grade network. Hyperbole much?
and yes I have great fun with it.

It is not hyperbolic, it is retired enterprise equipment I got for a very good price and yes I have great fun with it.

Careful about that printer: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2011/11/hp-pr...
The question is: whether it would actually trigger the "lp%d on fire" error message? https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux...
Until someone hacks the fire extinguisher and makes it spray chemicals at you. Then you'll need to add a smart fire extinguisher extinguisher.

But you're screwed if you need to print something :(

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, "The only way to stop a bad guy from swatting you is a good guy with his own personal SWAT team."
Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stair…
