its wasnt normal to storm a house without checking anything 10 years ago and it worked, outside the US ist still not normal that a swat team storms homes without checking.

Checking WHAT. You're speaking vaguely, which makes me think you have no idea what you're saying. And yes, 10 years ago, swat was a thing. It's been a thing since the 80s.

Alpha team recons the area, spying on the potential enemy, gathers information and their whereabouts in the house if possible.
When they have gathered enough information, they will inform the Bravo team what to do, and send them in by their cordinations.

If they don't do this, who know how many hostages, guys with weapons or how well it's guarded, it's basically like walking into a trap.

A team can't walk blindly into a potential hostage situation, or a dangerour situation overall. They won't knock on your door but that depends on the phonecall.  If a Swat officer fails to follow instructions even if it was a prank call, he did in fact break a law himself. Instructions are there for a reason.
