Swatting
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
"SWATing," or "Swatting," is basically the definition of serious business. It is a method of pwning others IRL, but at the same time it is most often attempted by people whom, generally speaking, can't get anything done. Most Swatting attempts go nowhere and if you don't know what you're doing you could end up with visit from the partyvan yourself.
It is typically executed via caller ID spoofing in conjunction a little social engineering to convince the authorities to raid the target's home. It has become much more prevalent tactic of /i/nsurgents in the last 2 years or so, primarily due to the recent influx of faggots whom believe they're the new 1337 trollgods of the interwebs.

Although it doesn't really require any extreme technical proficiency to pull it off, most who attempt it either are too inexperienced, incapable of convincing the authorities, or just prone to bitching out at any sign of trouble. So, many Swatting attempts go nowhere...but don't feel too safe.
