hack, Computers.

1. to modify (a computer program or electronic device) or write (a program) in a skillful or clever way: Developers have hacked the app.
   I hacked my tablet to do some very cool things.
   
2. to circumvent security and break into (a network, computer, file, etc.), usually with malicious intent: Criminals hacked the bank's servers yesterday.
   Our team systematically hacks our network to find vulnerabilities.
   

I am saying that this isn't a hack, computerwise nothing is being hacked. What is happening is social engineering to get a 911 dispatcher, have cause to send a dispatch, escalate the situation, and ultimately deem it a safety issue big enough for a SWAT team.

Alternatively, hacking as shown in the description, is the circumvent of security or measures to prevent and or modify parts of a system, in this case an operating system. People 'hack' or pen-test for a living. Not all, and nowhere close is 90% of hacks meant for public/publicity sake, nor is the act for 'hacking' is for money. There are people "who hack for money", but I doubt these make up a big percentage, if not we'd see something about it within the Internet of Things,etc.

like i said. people hacking if they need something from the people they hack. they dont hack just because they hate them. they hack for good reason. like you said that criminals hacked the bank. but its a bit sad to hear that hackers dont have life and trying to hack for easy money...
