Kalakoa, have you heard of Enhanced 911 or E911
* E911 Phase 1: Wireless network operators must identify the phone number and cell phone tower used by callers, within six minutes of a request by a PSAP.

Right, but how would they get your phone's location, when they're the ones calling to SWAT you? They can spoof your number and could probably fake a location, but couldn't fake the cell tower location. So they couldn't send the cops to your house unless they actually know your address already (in which case they could just tell the 911 operator). If anything, that would just reveal that it's a fake call.
