Get the Swat mug.
Swatting is an internet prank/crime where someone finds your address either through your IP or because your name and location is known.Then they call 911 anonymously and report a fake emergency.Ex,someone can call and say that someone at that address is being held at a gun point or someone is going to commit suicide and a SWAT team would be dispatched to the address.
Its becoming a trend,it is only a matter of time before somebody gets killed.Anyone caught swatting could face serious charges — even federal charges for abusive 911 calls, false alarms or reports and then unauthorized use of telecommunications.

When someone calls in a make-believe hostage situation or other major offense that would need to be handled by a SWAT team. Mostly done to streamers mid broadcast or other famous Youtube/Twitch celebrities.

Swatting is the act of obtaining a streamer's personal information through various means, and then using the info to report the streamer as a potential terrorist, therefore deploying a SWAT team to the location. Although some mofos find this funny, it is only a matter of time before someone is killed because of someone's twisted sense of humor.
Adam: Dude, I heard you got raided by the police yesterday. What happened?
Nicholas: I got swatted. Seriously, swatting isn't funny, people.
