LGBT: omg! Will he be arrested?

What you did was not right, but I seriously doubt that this would be prosecuted.

As long as you did not make any threats, or take anyone's credit card numbers, or say anything sexual or abusive, I think most jurisdictions would probably just warn you.

It is *possible* but highly unlikely that anyone would pursue this. And even if they did, it would be very, very minor.

Most jurisdictions would not consider this worth their time and effort.

Just don't do it again!

Crank calls are not only a bothersome to those who have to receive them, but can are illegal as well. Most likely what will happen if the lady did report it is, so long as there were no threats, harrassment, sexual talk, etc. the phone company will be contacting the person whose name the phone is registered in and giving them a stern warning. The next time they may have their service disconnected and be given a fine. Parents are responsible for their childrens actions.

The reason most likely no legal action would be taken is that the phone company and the police know that kids do make immature crank calls. But they don't give too many warnings.

I'm a criminal justice student and although I'm still an undergraduate, I can tell you that the only thing you and your friend would get charged with is harassment by communication if anything. Although, in cases like these, as long as you don't call her again they might just let it go, no sense wasting time filing paperwork for a little thing like that.

HARASSING COMMUNICATIONS

Now because you're a kid, you might get off with some mercy. Usually you'd get cited for it (in most states; with a select few spending a few days in jail), but these kinda things are usually ignored if you're a kid. I can't guarantee it, but that's how it most likely will work.

I must say though, don't prank call people. It's less funny than you think it is. People got enough to worry about and they shouldn't have to worry about spending their time answering meaningless prank phone calls.

People rape and kill other people and still dont land in jail.

The very idea of your friend getting locked up is beyond words.

She twisted the prank back on you two. What a couple of suckers for falling for her need trick. Give that lady a drink.

prank calls are not often prosecuted by the police, however, phone companies have been known to cancel your phone number if a complaint of prank calling is gotten by them, you may have a little trouble explaining THAT to your parents.

Prank phone calls are not against the law.

you cant go to jail for prank phone calling...

but i mean come on...... thats something you do at 9

extra my reaction, nicely, it replaced right into some years in the past. We have been in my room, laying our heads on the windowsill. i replaced right into a shy, self-proclaimed christian who until I had met her some months in the past replaced into quite against gays completely (i replaced into picked on for being a tom-boy my entire lifestyles, and as a effect replaced into bitter) She had a week in the past informed me that she quite cherished somebody, yet might tell me who.

And we sat for a on an identical time as, our heads slowly getting nearer jointly. finally, with foreheads approximately touching, she informed me. How might desire to I carry returned? How might desire to I combat my very own thoughts? My mom replaced into against it, as replaced into my older sister. i replaced into against it, wasn't I? No. It replaced into then that i began out my ruin from formative years compelled values and regulations. After a mind-blowing night of organic, pleasing communique and popularity, we began relationship. April 9th, 4 years in the past. (sigh, it replaced into to no longer final, lamentably, as she moved away 6 months later, and at last- after a 365 days and a nil.5- we known our distance and that i refused to maintain her from relationship. I quite have not had any authentic relationships on the grounds that, and don't choose any. None might desire to rival the bond we had shared.Such is lifestyles, yet lifestyles is going on...) My mom nevertheless does not understand.
