Attorney for Obstruction of Telephone Service in Douglas County
Colorado law provides that if you interfere with the sending or receiving of a phone call, you can be charged with a misdemeanor crime called Obstruction of Telephone Services. Obstructing a phone call is seen as a big deal because someone might need to call for helt – from you – and you are preventing them from getting help. The alleged victim accusing you does not need to be calling the police. They can be calling anyone and for any purpose. So, if your girlfriend is trying to send a picture of you on the toilet, without your permission, to her girlfriend, and you knock the phone out of her hand, you have just committed a class 1 misdemeanor. Worse yet, it would be a domestic violence in Douglas County. Laws are written way too loose when this and a ton of other conduct like it becomes a crime.

Police have no mercy when someone calls them and reports a crime. They are worried that if they don’t give you a summons or arrest you (even a month after a crime), then they may get into trouble later. So, they enable the drama queens of Colorado who are seeking attention by telling their friends of marginal criminal conduct, then their friends call police to get attention for themselves. If you are dating a drama queen or if your girlfriend had friends who are drama queens, you need to get out of the relationship. Police are too wimpy today to search for the truth and do the right thing. You will end up on jail.
