Eliminate the Malicious Use of a Telecommunication Device including hanging up, swearing, disagreements, etc

Created by A.S. on January 17, 2016

Have you ever hung up the phone on someone? Swore on the phone? Posted a mean tweet, or a critical comment on Facebook? Then because of the Malicious use of a telecommunication device law you could be fined up to $1,000 and serve 6 months in jail? If this law were strictly enforced then Ricky Gervais would have committed 100 counts at the recent Golden Globes & our own Vice President would be guilty of at least 1. Please sign this petition to eliminate a law that is a violation of this civil & constitutional rights & in today's world where you can block a number, an account or a tv program w/ the click of a button, this law is unnecessary and frivolous. You can bread the law here http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(l301f012peclkolk05xwea2h))/mileg.aspx?page=getObject&objectName=mcl-750-540e
