Cops Called to Miley Cyrus' House in 'Swatting' Prank: Funny or Deadly?

There was major drama at Miley Cyrus’ house last night. Following a 911 call a little before 7 p.m., police swarmed the pop star’s home in Studio City, California. They arrived at the property -- guns drawn -- in response to reports that the pop singer was the victim of an intruder and that there was a potential hostage situation. The first piece of good news was that the “Hannah Montana” star wasn’t home. And luckily the whole thing turned out to be a hoax.

The bad news is that it appears to be part of a new prank called “Swatting,” in which an anonymous caller reports a fabricated crime. According to officials, the joke can be extremely dangerous because when the police respond to a situation like a home intruder, they consider the circumstances extremely high risk -- hence the drawn guns on arrival.

It seems like the innocent days of Prince Albert in a can and refrigerators running are long gone. These elaborate schemes cost taxpayers money and might just put people’s lives at risk. Just imagine if Miley Cyrus, her fiancée Liam Hemsworth or some unsuspecting staffer was at the residence and had a run-in with the cops in question. What do you think: Was the swatting prank funny... or deadly?

    lol friggin genius all right but still wrong. at a wedding cops parked over from the venue waiting for the drunks. 1 guy staggers to his car, fumbles with his keys , drops them a few times, nearly falls over getting in the car. Cops on him in a flash. breathalised him, he was clear, confused at this the cops asked why he was staggering and stumbling, his reply.. " Im the decoy." the drunks took off while they were busy with the other driver. lol bloody beauty.

    Not a good idea. Hopefully it's never deadly. But in most places you can be prosecuted similar stuff - like calling in a false bomb threat, etc.

    Really? People are doing this? Wasting the cops time, our tax money and maybe putting someone's life in danger.

    It costs the taxpayers thousands of dollars because they call in the SWAT Team, not so funny after all.
