Establishes the crimes of spoofing a police agency telephone number in the first and second degrees as a class E felony and a class A misdemeanor
Bill S 7627 establishes new criminal offenses related to "spoofing" a police agency telephone number. It makes it a Class A misdemeanor to intentionally place a call displaying a police agency's phone number or identifying information, with the intent to defraud, harass, annoy, threaten, or alarm another person. The bill also creates a Class E felony for "spoofing a police agency telephone number in the first degree," which applies if the individual has a prior conviction for a similar offense within the last ten years. These provisions directly affect individuals who use caller ID manipulation to impersonate police agencies.
