A casebook of documented U.S. incidents in which the exposure of a home address translated into a tactical police response at someone's door. Each entry traces the same chain: address data exposure » hoax narrative » armed response.
Swatting is the most visible failure mode of proximity-triggered data exposure.
Every swatting incident depends on a perpetrator obtaining a victim's home address. The dataset groups cases by how that data exposure occurred. Property records and public official directories dominate, an artifact of transparency-by-design overlapping with the lack of address-privacy controls for elected officials.
