The Law
As technology advanced in the 1980s and 90s, the state updated its telecommunications laws to include facsimile machines. It became officially illegal to use a fax machine to send threats, profanity, or harassment to another person. Although largely obsolete due to the internet, the statute technically criminalizes angry faxing.
