Terrorist Threats

Violent Crimes - Terrorist Threat

Definition:

Terrorist threats is a violent act or an act dangerous to human life in violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any state to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

The term "terrorist threat" is also used to describe the threat of attacks such as domestic violence, a verbal, written or electronic threat or school violence. A communication device could also be used to convey a terrorist threat, such as telephones, computers, fax machines or pagers. Even if the threat was not acted upon further, the terrorist threat will be regarded as a punishable crime.

Consequences of Terrorist Threats:

Terrorist threats are most commonly charges as misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the extent of the threat. If the terrorist threat is charged as a felony, it can stay on your permanent record and become one strike in California's three strikes law. If convicted of making a terrorist threat, you can face imprisonment, monetary fines, parole or probation, loss of constitutional rights, and in some cases capital punishment.
