Article here. Seems a bit silly to me, although if there was a P.P.O. or something in place, then she should have known better. |

Well if the other woman had filed for protection from the poker I think it's fair. It is communicating. Not that we know the details behind all of this, but if I had some crazy ass stalker or something, getting poked on facebook by him/her would be uncomfortable to say the least.

And this is why I don't do social networking on a massive scale: It should never be illegal to poke a woman ;D
Lame joke aside, that's a very stupid way to get yourself arrested, by breaking a restraining order via the Internet. If you MUST do something to get yourself potentially arrested, do something that is at least worthwhile and not completely stupid.
In no way am I advocating bad behavior.

That damn Facebook strikes again! First it got a woman's sick leave taken away after her employers found pictures of her partying it up on Facebook, and now this. Do the evils of this site know no bounds? ;D |

As a lifelong resident of Tennessee, I will say that nothing that happens in this state surprises me.

Personally, I never got the point of poking. Sure it can be fun for a few minutes but after awhile it gets pointless. I don't think I've poked anyone in a year.
But it is pretty silly to get arrested by poking, but I guess I can understand if there was a form of violation of a protection order. It would be like walking up to that person or trying to call them. If they consider poking a form of saying hello, then yes, it should be considered a violation.

If I'm looking at it from the point of view of the authorities, that was definitely an attempt to communicate, and I'd view that as an attempt to flaunt authority. Legally, It would be hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect was on facebook. I'd just use the defense that you stayed logined and someone went on my account and poked her thinking it was there own account.

It's not like they happened to be in the same restaurant, it's an attempt to contact. If that was against the terms of the VPO, she should have been arrested. It's like sending an E-mail, calling on the phone, or any other form of communication. |

Ok, call me crazy and correct me if I am wrong, but can't you only poke someone ONCE and then not again until they poke up back?
Also, I swear there's an easy way to IGNORE POKES ROM CERTAIN PEOPLE!!!

She tried to communicate with that person who she isn't allowed to communicate with. She deserves to be arrested then.
