What Defines Stalking?
Even though at present there is confusion about the legality of New York's harassment laws, stalking and menacing statutes remain a useful tool on the prosecutor's belt.
With the rise of modern technology, a person can face stalking charges based merely on some of the following examples:
- Contact via text messages and email
- Communication through Facebook, Twitter, or other social media websites
- Location tracking through GPS devices or software
Depending on the exact nature of the stalking allegations, a person may face felony or misdemeanor charges. Stalking charges also lead to the issuance of Orders of Protection, which restrict an accused person's liberty and subject him or her to a greater likelihood of additional charges if there is further contact between the parties.
