For Those Who Ask ......
Whats next in this crazy mixed up world, where one person tries to outdo the next in absurdity, there's this: "swatting". Swatting is when a person,(person, maybe, but their humanity is surely in question), calls 911 and reports a really serious crime in progress, a crime sure to get the poice swat team in motion, hence the name swatting.
They utilize a technology whereby someone using an internet phone can alter their caller ID, so it appears to be coming from somewhere else. Police naturally respond to where the caller ID indicates the crime is being committed. Only problem is, it is a fake caller ID. The potential danger of such a hoax, can be deadly. Imagine a police swat team coming to YOUR house in the middle of the nite, expecting the worst. That is what happened to This family. The "kid" who made the call was caught, and sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to five felony counts.
So there it is, just when you thought you had heard everything
