Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

Re: texting

It is not a question of whether your son believes that what he said was harmful, but how they were perceived by the girlfriend or whomever. My recommendation is that your son should not speak to the police until he has had an opportuntity to consult directly with a lawyer and would advise he have a lawyer present during any interaction with the police. I would be glad to help him. My number is 248.588.2297 if he has any other questions.

it is always important to hire skilled criminal legal counsel at the first sign of a police investigation. Going in alone to meet with them is disasterous. Visit www.kliszlaw.com to discuss

Text or email what he sent and I'll let you know what kind of trouble he's in.

Re: texting

At worst, the offense/crime is probably a violation of MCL 750.540e, which is a misdemeanor carrying up to 6 months jail and/or $1,000 fine.

This crime involves the malicious use of a telephone or telecommunications device or service with the intent to terrorize, frighten, intimidate, threaten, harass, molest, annoy, or disturb the peace and quiet of a specific person by, among other things, (a) threatening physical harm or damage to any person or property; or (b) using vulgar, indecent, obscene or offensive language or suggesting any lewd or lascivious act. There are other acts that can be charged, but they don't seem to fit a text message act.
