SWAT is in movies and the news. It is NO WAY routine above traffic stops, or pervasive.

May not be where you are, I live in a suburb of Nashville, population of our county is just shy of 120,000. A mixture of rural and urban areas, yet we have a city,and county police force that are 150 + strong combined. 2 swat teams complete with 2 APC's , and an arsenal of weapons that would look more at home on a military installation than in a police environment. Our newspapers are constantly sporting pictures, and stories of these units in action. They seem to be the tool of choice for serving most warrants these days.
