Sorry but you're wrong here, SWAT is authorized to break into a house/building without saying the usual "POLICE" or anything, you don't storm a building and say "HERE I AM COME SHOOT ME" it's the same concept. (my uncle's former SWAT, before anyone asks) SWAT operates outside many of the usual boundaries of a Police force because they're a tactical unit, technically they can't even arrest anyone, their job is to deal with a situation before the cops come in.
