whiteknight101 said: Threats made over Twitter (a.k.a the Internet) are by nature federal crimes if the person making the threat is from another state or country. Relevant statute is 18 U.S. Code § 875 - Interstate communications. ETA: In fact, on closer reading, a threat from the same state over Twitter is also a federal crime, since it's made "in insterstate [...] commerce". Any threat over Twitter is a federal crime. |
