Can someone file a restraining order for emailing too much?
Posted Friday, November 5, 2010 by admin
Is simply emailing someone a lot, if no threats are involved, enough for them to take action and file a restraining order against that person?
What would be considered proving a stalking case?

if the person receiving the e-mails thinks it is stalking or harassment, yes.

Well, it depends.
If a stalking case can be proven, then yes. But, with email, all they need to do is add you to their block or spam list and the email will not go through…

Stalking is the repeated and unwanted contact with some one. Such as calling someone on their cell or house say 35 times a day… Showing up at their work often… following them all the time, and yes… any form of written or electronic communication that is unwanted and previously rejected.
You do not need to threaten someone to stalk them. Just repeated unwanted contact or attempt to contact them is stalking them.

Restraining orders can be written to cover communications of any kind.
However, a judge may not issue one for email since it is much simpler to block emails from a source, via the recipient’s ISP.
