US Representative Clark proposed a law against "swatting", a false report designed to send a SWAT team to someone's home, and someone responded by swatting her.

I support this goal, but I have doubts about the proposed bill. First of all, prosecuting false reports will only be possible when the author of the report can be identified. Aren't most of these reports anonymous?

Second, the bill is much broader, and makes any false emergency report a crime.
