Today’s technology has opened the door to the internet, allowing us to live a large portion of both our business and personal lives online. While this is a convenient and efficient transition in many ways, criminal activities have also largely moved into the world of computers, and cyber crimes can be difficult to confront.
The internet is definitely a necessary part of countless peoples’ day-to-day lives, both in Tennessee as well as across the nation. But it’s still fairly young. Legislation fluctuates constantly to accommodate the rapidly shifting nature of online technology. It can be hard to know exactly where legal lines are drawn – whether you’ve been charged with a cyber crime or are simply defending yourself in such a case.
Crimes committed through a computer or via the internet are no less illegal than those performed in the physical world. If you’re charged with committing any of the aforementioned criminal activities, then you could be looking at expensive fines, restitution, or even a prison sentence. Tennessee and federal authorities take cyber crimes very seriously and are stricter and stricter with their penalties every year.
We know the internet is complicated! Many of our clients find themselves facing charges for computer crimes without even knowing that they had committed them, while others are left defenseless at the mercy of a faceless cyber criminal. Don’t let this happen to you.
