It's all public information. Almost every county auditor has an online portal where you can look it up.
The potential workaround is to either rent or have your home owned by some other entity, like a corporation or trust.
But it just takes a leaker at a magazine or utility company to out you unless you're also masking your home with a separate mailing address, etc.
Having any sort of anonymity/privacy is very difficult these days.
Why does the caller not get arrested? Surely they need a name or something when they call.
According to Catturd, his last 2 swatters are sitting in prison now (and he'd just gotten a third). Didn't Kash make a statement about consequences for fake swatting calls? Let's pray that happens across the board.
I thought calls were traced too not only to help law enforcement locate a person in distress but also to prevent this situation.
Many celebrities have their homes listed as being owned by an LLC. I used to work in the permitting section of a government agency and when we would look up the property, we would see it was an LLC. Probably most of the beachfront homes out in the Hamptons on Long Island are listed that way.
Can't the utility bills also go to the trust?
There's lots that can be done, but most people don't do it.
Ironically, the very poor (homeless) and the very wealthy both get to have their privacy, while the rest of us in the middle have to choose to give up something else in order to pay for the privilege.
