Romney's 'Assault' Attack Contradicts Former Stance
A Tennessee woman is facing up to a year in jail because she poked somebody on Facebook.Shannon D. Jackson, 36, was arrested after police determined that contact on the social networking site violated an order of protection put in place against her by an anonymous female pokee. The order stipulates that no "telephoning, contacting, or otherwise communicating with the petitioner" was allowed, and apparently, the super-passive-aggressive salutation counts.
It's not clear whether Shannon meant for the poke to be menacing or a mea culpa, but regardless, she's now charged with a Class A misdemeanor and faces up to 11 months and 29 days in jail and a possible fine of $2,500. What do you get for a superpoke, one wonders? The chair?
We don't know what Sharon did to this woman to make her file for a restraining order, but we're guessing it had something to do with an excessive amount of "How Well Do You Know Me?" requests.

You would really think that someone who goes to the trouble of filing a restraining order would also make the effort of removing someone from their facebook friends thus making contact via the website requiring effort to the extent that would indicate a breach of the restraining order.
This is a waste of police and court time. It'll get thrown out.

Wrong.
You can 'poke' people that you aren't formally connected with on Facebook. Try it. Seems like a pretty straightforward violation of a restraining order.

I actually had this situation happen to me.
I did NOT block the respondent but my account information was extremely limited to non-friends. No profile picture. No info. Nothing.
I did not block him for two reasons:
1) I wanted to make sure that there were no mutual friends -- He has a happen of sending friend requests to my friends in order to figure out what I'm doing .
2) I'd rather he poke me than find some alternative means. Which I know he will. I am not the only petitioner with a DVP against him. There are two others.
He's facing potential jail time as well.
