What will the police do about this? (Please Help)? - LemonJuice - 01-24-2013 04:52 PM
I got someone I have been joke fighting with on twitter's number from a website online, posted it on my twitter. Then called it 2 times, I didn't say anything, I forgot to block my number. What will the police do if he calls them, and my cell provider? Thanks.

if he knows your number and tells the cops it the cops will probably just call you and tell you not to call the number again or you will get a ticket. When a cop calls you they normally call restricted. The worst that can happen is a ticket. A prank call is not worth $200. If you want to prank don't use your phone. Go to prankdial.com you get 3 free calls a day and cops cant trace it. And cops cant get phone records with out a warrant.

It depends on what state you're in. It also depends on what state they're in. Different states have different laws. However, if you called from one state to another, it becomes an interstate crime, and therefore, a federal offense. The maximum penalty for interstate phone harassment is 10 years in the federal penitentiary. Good luck.
