Is it against the law to swear in atext message?

Question

Ive been getting abusive texts and i wondered if i could get them done by the police

Answer 1

its not against the law to swear in text messages its called the right to a freedom of speech, however you can get a restraining order provided with a non -verbal contact as well as up to 500 yards if you want.

Answer 2

It can be considered harassment if it is continuing if you have asked the person who is doing it to stop.

They'll just write up a police report.

Maybe you can get your cell phone company to block that number?

Answer 3

it is not illegal in the US to swear verbally or in print.

that doesn't mean something else might not be available to you, but you didn't ask that.
