Swatting is a rather nasty, malicious and dangerous “stunt.” It consists of picking a target, contacting the local cops and tricking them into responding in force, preferably with a SWAT team. This is often done by spoofing a phone number or using a cell phone and telling the cops there is a home invasion in progress and hostages have been taken.
An unnamed 13-year old from Ottawa is now under arrest, being charged with multiple instances of SWATing, including several in the U.S. I hope they throw the book at the little bastard.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Sooner or later, some innocent person is going to be killed because of these swatting pranks.
