Show Notes
In December 2024, an elderly couple in Santa Fe was victimized by a swatting prank, resulting in a terrifying police raid. The false emergency call claimed an 18-year-old had a rifle and was threatening his brother over child porn and ties to an online extremist group. Despite red flags, police responded aggressively, leading to the couple and guests being detained and their home searched, finding nothing. The couple has now sued the city and dispatch center for rights violations, trauma, and repair costs, as swatting incidents surge nationwide.
