WARNING: IF YOU ARE ELECTRONICALLY SURVEILLANCING SOMEONE IN ORDER TO DELIBERATEGLY "INTIMIDATE' THEM, YOU MAY BE IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL ANTI-STALKING AND ANTI-HARASMENT LAWS

 

It is very apparent to me that many Texans, including many residents of Austin, would currently fail a test in which they are asked to identify any and all types of illegal conduct by a perpetrator that also comprise a violation of federal law involving stalking or harassment of a cited crime victim.

If you review the above first-rate copyrighted blog by Deborah C. England at "CrimeDefenseLawyer.com", I feel sure that you will also conclude that many Texans are not aware of all of the specific types of violations of federal law by a perpetrator that involve stalking or harassment of a cited victim. One of those federal-law violations involves electronic surveillance of someone in order to deliberately intimidate that individual.

One key paragraph from Ms. England's blog: "A person convicted of stalking under federal law faces a possible prison sentence not to exceed five years, a fine not to exceed $250,000, or both. (18 USC § § 2261, 3571.) Where the defendant's stalking conduct results in the death of or physical injury to another person, a conviction may lead to a sentence of up to life in prison."
