| US Supreme Court protects stalkers from their victims The more insane are protected In an interesting move for crime in the US, the Supreme Court has decided that victims of stalkers have to prove they faced a real threat. The Supreme Court ruled that to find someone guilty of making a "true threat" courts must first determine that the person recklessly disregarded the fact that their words might be perceived as threats. This means that cyberstalking victims must prove that their stalkers understand the consequences of their actions when they bombard them with threatening texts. George Washington Law School and president of the nonprofit Cyber Civil Rights Initiative Mary Anne Franks said that the Supreme Court has just decreed that stalking is free speech protected by the First Amendment if the stalker genuinely believes his actions are non-threatening. https://fudzilla.com/news/57162-us-s...-their-victims |
