Brevard County Sheriffs Office Agent Daniel Ogden has authored House Bill # 787 and Senate Bill 946, the Computer or Electronic Device Harassment, as it is currently titled. The bill would, if it passes allow sentencing of up to five years for anyone who is convicted, making it a third-degree felony.
Agent Ogden tells My Fox Orlando "This is about a person posting an image that has no legitimate purpose but to harass a victim by associating it to their name, their social media with their personal identifiers. It puts them at risk, it puts them at emotional distress from the affects of these postings."
My rule of thumb on this is: Do not take them, and never, ever, ever, ever be in them.
