GTA 5 Actor Ned Luke Swatted During Thanksgiving Livestream
The actor was playing GTA Online during Thanksgiving and was unfortunately cut short when he was called by someone in his home notifying him that the police had arrived outside. This is a common method of harassment toward public figures called Swatting. Unfortunately, people are able to gain the addresses of these people as they are live stream and will make an anonymous phone call to their local police department and tell them there's a severe situation that requires a heavy police presence. Typically, this results in the police showing up in mass with ARs and other heavy weaponry and can even result in people's doors being kicked down. This has led to people dying in the past and is an incredibly serious offense.
Just earlier this week, streamer IShowSpeed was swatted for the second time in a row at his brand new house. This has been a frequent issue in the streaming community for years. Some streamers are able to get whitelisted with their local police departments to ensure there is a way to prevent swatting, but it still isn't fool proof. Some have demanded more protection and even legislation to make this a more punishable act, but nothing concrete has come of it thus far.
