LOS ANGELES TIMES CARTOON: Anti-Swatting Bill

12 years ago

I draw cartoons for The Los Angeles Times about issues related to California and the Southland (metro Los Angeles).

This week: The State Senate has approved an anti-“swatting” bill. “Swatting” is the act of pranksters who make false 911 calls in the hope of prompting a heavily-armed police response, typically to the home of a celebrity.
