unfortunate new trend is 'swatting'
calling 911 and reporting emergencies at addresses of people they don't like

really stupid stuff. freak out people just cuz u disagree with and waste time and resources of Public Safety units.
with today's technology hopefully these people can be tracked down (assuming state officials WANT to stop this).

Quote:Federal law enforcement is facing backlash after two Republican Congress members said that their houses were "swatted" on Christmas Day.
Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said that her house in Rome, Georgia, was swatted Monday morning while she and her family members were celebrating the holiday. New York Congressman Brandon Williams also said in a post to X, formerly Twitter, that his house in Cayuga County, New York, was swatted Monday afternoon
"Thanks to the Deputies and Troopers who contacted me before arriving," Williams wrote on X. "They left with homemade cookies and spiced nuts! Merry Christmas everyone!"
Swatting is the act of making a false report of a crime to another person's address, which prompts law enforcement to show up at the individual's home. Greene said on X that Monday marks the eighth time that her house has been targeted by swatting calls.
