Lawmakers and
courts have long recognized that some damaging or dangerous forms of speech
should be prohibited. Making a terrorist threat is one such form of speech that
is prohibited.
Not all threats are criminal, and not all threats are considered terrorist threats.
Though state and federal laws on terrorist threats differ widely, they typically include several common elements.
Though many
states criminalize making a “terrorist” threat, it isn't always necessary for
the person's threat to cause someone else to experience fear or terror. The
actions of the accused are what determine whether a crime has been committed,
and it is not always dependent on the emotions of others. In some states,
however, making someone afraid or terrified as a result of your threat is
enough to make it a terrorist threat.
Terrorist Threat Penalties
Defendants convicted of making terrorist
threats face a range of possible penalties. Some states categorize the crime as
either a misdemeanor or a felony, or both, depending on the nature of the circumstances.
The penalties involved for a terrorist threat typically include one or more of
the following:
- Incarceration. Anyone
convicted of a misdemeanor offense for making a terrorist or criminal
threat faces up to one year in a county jail. For a felony conviction, a
court can impose a prison sentence of a year or more. Depending on the
state and the nature of the threat, a conviction for making a terrorist
threat can result in a prison sentence of 40, and even 100 or more years
in prison.
- Fines. Fines for
making a terrorist threat vary widely. Some states impose no minimum fine,
while others impose minimum fines of as little as $200 or as much as
$10,000. Maximum fines for making a terrorist threat can exceed $250,000.
- Restitution. Courts
may also order a person convicted of making a terrorist threat to pay
restitution. Restitution is similar to a fine, but instead of paying it to
the state, the convicted person pays restitution to the victims of the
terrorist threat in order to compensate them for any damages they suffered
as a result of the crime.
- Probation. In
misdemeanor cases, and even in some felony cases, a court can sentence a
person convicted of making a terrorist threat to a probation term. The
length of the term differs widely, but typically lasts 6 months or more,
depending on the circumstances of the case and state sentencing rules.
Courts may also order probation after the defendant has served a jail
sentence, and may also require the convicted person to pay a fine or
restitution
