    Default Threatening Phone Messages Left by Somebody Who Lives Out-of-State

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: NY/NJ

    I have a person calling me and harassing me, she calls me daily and leaves me voicemails which include threats to ruin my life and threats against my minor children. I live in NY and the person is in NJ. I went to the NY troopers and was told I cant do anything in NY since the crime is being done in NJ. I called the local municipality in NJ to be told that nothing can be done unless I travel the 6 hours to NJ and make a formal complaint. I was also told to file the complaint in NY. I am not sure what to do the harassment and threats are made daily with calls to my phone and place of employment. How can I protect myself and my family?

    She is 6 hours away from you. What you should do depends entirely on whether you have valid reason to actually be afraid of this woman, or whether she is just annoying. Right now, you are giving her exactly what she wants...attention.

    File the report locally and ignore her calls. Record/retain her messages for a potential restraining order in the future.
