I'd put more blame on the police than the prankster to be honest. The prankster should be fined for wasting the police's time and for messing with important societal safety systems but how the police engages the target is entirely up to them.
Due to the potential for an extreme outcome, I've long though Swatting should cop the 'prankster' an attempted murder charge. Which is in itself probably excessive, but hey.
