Whats the consequence of a threatening text?

Answer 1

Depends on the text. You can probably solve that on your own as you know why that text was sent to you in the first place. If this is a hate crime however it is covered under the hate crime section in the constitution and should be reported to the authorities. If you can't get them to stop, and you call the authorities, then they will have to treat this as a major crime as there is nothing worse than a hate crime.

Answer 2

Well for my friend it included being called up to the principles office and getting in HUGE trouble. If you're an adult it's just being filled with guilt.

Answer 3

What Is the Punishment for Text Harassment? When it comes to the consequences, the punishment for a text message abuser can vary from less than a year in jail (misdemeanor) to high-level felony charges.

Answer 4

If you are receiving telephone calls that you find disturbing, you can take action to stop them. On your mobile phone you can usually block the sender from your handset.

This varies from device to device and you should consult the instructions for your handset to do. For a landline, you can usually talk directly to your service provider to do this without charge.

If you are receiving annoying emails you can set your email client or application to treat the message as Spam and this will prevent it from appearing in your Inbox. This varies device to device so check with your provider.

If the annoying messages are from a company trying to sell you goods or services you can register for the telephone preference service (TPS) to remove yourself from public listings.

If the contact you are receiving is If the contact that you are receiving is more abusive and or threatening it may be an offence, the two main ones are Malicious Communications and Harassment.

These these incidents can be investigated by the police and if you wish to move forward you can deal with the matter through Civil law.

If you take this approach you can apply to the court, for an injunction against the person contacting you. You can also bring a criminal case against the person, but the burden of proof is much lower in a civil case.

Answer 5

Im not sure what state you are living in but here in California, its considered a terrorist threat to send someone a threatening text. If its really bad or excessive it can be considered a felony if they want to.

Answer 6

Let's say the person actually feels as tho you will follow through with the threat enough to the point where they call the authorities. If they have evidence or the phone number matches, maybe something you may have on file under your name. If it all ties back to you and that person fears for their life and safety, yes you can get in trouble through a text. I think it's the worst way to verbally vomit on someone because you just gave them solid evidence that you can't go back on. They now have that against you, sometimes its considered terrorist threats, but it depends on the nature of the text. Stay away from angry texting because in the end now that person always has that to refer back to the second they want to make you feel or look bad.

For example i seen on a meme one time "I have screenshots that will ruin your life!" lmao

Answer 7

النتيجة هي عقوبة من يهدد امن الاخرين باي شكل من اشكال التهديدات

ان بارتكاب جريمة أو بإفشاء أمور أو نسبة أمور مخدشة بالشرف.[2] يكفى لتوفر التهديد في قانون العقوبات أن يكون من شأنه تخويف المجنى عليه

Answer 8

Yes, but the consequences they face depends on how serious the threat is. If someone texts you saying that they're going to b0mb your house, police will get involved, and you will evacuate because of a b0mb threat. Even if they send you anything threatening on a device like them taking a photo of a notebook saying that they want to kill you in a certain way and actual steps and places on how and where they're going to do it, send it to the police station or tell a trusted parent or adult.

Answer 9

Making a written threat by text is illegal not only under state law, but also under federal law. It is illegal to transmit a threat to injure a person through any sort of communication under 18 U.S.C. 875.

For example, if I was a co-worker and I got mad and said to you: I have a gun and threatened to use it if anybody said anything negative about the way I handled my job.

If the other coworkers, had a reasonable fear for their safety, they could call the cops. I might face charges of making a written threat to murder or injure someone, which is a crime in the second degree. If convicted, I may face a sentence of up to 15 years in jail and/or a fine of up to $10,000.

Answer 10

It is unlawful to threaten to cause bodily harm to someone, which includes sending messages through electronic communication such as text messages. State and Federal Laws prohibit this type of conduct. If the person is convicted, they could be looking at spending years in prison.
