Hmmm. Didn't know about that option. I'll suggest that.

I did chat with a deputy Sherrif. Says that in NYS the harassment needs to
include threats of violence or harm, in order to qualify for police action.
Just being irritating isn't enough.

* 2. Makes a telephone call, whether or not a conversation ensues, with no
purpose of legitimate communication; or
* 3. Strikes, shoves, kicks, or otherwise subjects another person to
physical contact, or attempts or threatens to do the same because of the

That's a very generous defintion. You think I could get
Obama arrested based on that? Section 1 would seem
to apply..... He regularly communicates via electronic
means and he sure annoys me.....
