Electronic stalking/harassment is a crime.

The Issue

 

The laws must be revised so that people do no longer have to live in fear because of the retaliation of another’s behavior towards them.

The laws need to catch up with today’s technology or there will be a lot more crimes on the hands of our legislatures. 

There should be one law that everyone should abide by. We want consecutive electronic harassment/stalking (e-mails, texts, phone calls) to be a crime. There has to be three consecutive incidences to be considered a crime. We want appropriate jail time and counseling for the perpetrator. Oklahoma provides their police departments with stalking and harassment training and has been proven successful.
