Swatting is a harmful prank that involves making false reports to emergency services, triggering a significant police response to an innocent person’s address. Senator Scott thanked law enforcement for their efforts and highlighted the importance of holding those responsible accountable.
Scott advocates for the Preserving Safe Communities by Ending Swatting Act, aiming to impose harsh penalties on swatting offenders. As law enforcement investigates, Scott remains committed to pushing for laws to combat swatting and protect communities.
