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.
