Im gettin pretty sick of people like that. I've been hearing the hack word for almost 2 years now. Never actually happend, but sometimes I think, for this exact reason alone, that we should have to undergo some sort of Background Check or have some sort of more serious counter measure in place to combat people like this.

This happens to those popular youtube call of duty players a lot. They call it "SWATing".
They get your info and use those text alerts to contact your police station, or they just call pretending to be family.
I was actually watching a live podcast with a popular CoD youtuber named WoodysGamertag when hackers attempted to SWAT him during his livesteam. I guess they hoped to capture video of the SWAT kicking in office door and tackling him. He ended the livestream when his wife came into room saying there are poeple outside the house with flashlights. He made a video about the next day. It was crazy...
@Heaven in Vain, waving at a SWAT team thats outside your house is the dumbest thing you could do. If they get called to your house, even though its a prank, they think its real. You waving at them would make them think you're bat shit crazy and that the call is indeed real. And if the prankster said that you killed everyone in there and have a hostage.... they dont need a search warrant. Its not a drug raid.

A SWAT team in any country doesn't need a warrant for an immediate emergency/threat.
That would be stupid to waste time getting a warrant for somebody who has a hostage or is going on a killing spree in their home. Like I had said before.... its not a drug raid, its emergency respone. You dont need a warrant. Anywhere.

every country has their own laws,Toronto's ETF even for hostage situations like when a gunman goes into a highschool and keeps a class hostage (been through 3 of them personally) needs a warrant from a judge giving them the right to go into a private school,maybe in public schools its different i am not sure.we had cops on our campus talking to the man who took the class hostage to keep him calm but thats it.
