How do the police respond to the threat of SMS?

The police imposed a detention of not more than five days or a fine of not more than 500 yuan on the SMS intimidation department.

If threatened, no matter what way you take, it is recommended to call the police at the first time. Whoever writes threatening letters or threatens the personal safety of others by other means shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than 500 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days, and may also be fined not more than 500 yuan.

In case of threats or intimidation by text messages, phone calls, etc.

According to relevant judicial interpretations, acts of threatening, intimidating, beating or encroaching on other people's property due to marriage, debt, neighborhood or family disputes are generally not recognized as seeking trouble. However, after being criticized, stopped or punished by the public security department, those who continue to carry out the above acts and disrupt social order may be punished according to the crime of stirring up trouble.

After the first and second threats of harassment by text messages or telephone calls, even if they call the police, the police will generally only stop or criticize those who threaten or intimidate others, because there are no serious consequences. That is, according to the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, he was detained for less than 10 and fined. Sometimes this kind of punishment not only can't cure the intimidator, but will get worse.

However, after repeated criticism or punishment by the public security organs, if the intimidator dares to threaten again, he can directly sue the intimidator to the people's court without calling the police and accuse him of causing trouble.

If it constitutes a crime of stirring up trouble, the lighter shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, criminal detention or public surveillance. Heavy, will be 10 years in prison, criminal detention or control. Such a serious criminal punishment will definitely make the intimidator repent and dare not threaten again.

If others threaten or intimidate with a murder weapon, which directly constitutes a bad situation of the crime of provocation, they can directly sue the court for the crime of provocation. If others make threats and intimidation for many times, which has a serious impact on work and life, resulting in work and life can not be carried out normally, it also constitutes the crime of provoking trouble.
