Jeez, does anyone have a fear that they could inadverdantly be accused of something like this?
Here's the scary thing . . . the reporting, under this law, is for non-criminal acts. All that needs to be stated is the reader "felt" hurt or intimidated. Once reported, law enforcement is tasked to investigate.
The accused never gets to know what was allegedly said or to whom it was said. Again . . . this law is for non-criminal violations of more stringent laws on the books.
Legislators claim the funds paid to the accuser is not for snitching . . . it is for damages the accuser suffered, by reading the words!
And . . . the accused's name is forever linked, through law enforcement databases, as an accused "feeling-hurter".
Seriously . . . I'm not making this up!
