Swatting is the name given to the act of making a hoax call to the police about a possible emergency. Doing so is sure to bring a large number of armed police officers to the identified location.

Nate Hill was visibly displeased with this harassment. Not only did he have to end his Fortnite stream, but he also had to convince the police that everything was fine, which is an additional hassle.

Swatting has become annoyingly common for public personalities like streamers and happens whenever someone with malicious intentions finds out about the person's address. Falsely altering the police is also a felony.
