Subject: Phone harassment and hornblasts
Thanks for an interesting article.
I'm a little wary about the advice to use a horn-blast over the phone.
I don't know the legal ramifications of this, but if you damage their ears, even if they were calling with threats, and theoretically they are kind of in your home, still they might be able to turn around and sue you for bodily harm.
Maybe they keep a recording of their 'prank' calls too.
It reminds me of stories about criminals being harmed in the process of breaking and entering a private residence. Then the home owner ends up in jail or being sued for egregious harm.
Some aspects of law need to be included in this article, and the fact that laws vary from state to state as touching something as aggressive as potentially injuring another as the horn-blast.
