House votes to expand definition of stalking
House votes to expand definition of stalking
Sending unwanted text messages or e-mails could soon be considered stalking in Utah.
The House voted Friday to update the state's definition of stalking.
Actions that cause distress, such as sending messages, taking photographs or repeatedly showing up at friends' or relatives' homes, would be stalking under the proposal.
Delivering items to someone's home or workplace could also be considered stalking under House Bill 493. The measure is supported by prosecutors and victim advocates.
HB 493 will now be heard in the Senate.
I wonder how this happened :)

Wow. What are you going to do for fun on the weekends now, Mark?
could frequent commenting in someone's blog be stalking?
