YOU ARE THREATENED ... WHAT TO DO?

They threaten you
Incoming threats by phone
Currently, the telephone is the main channel for receiving messages containing information about the explosive devices planted, the taking of people hostage, extortion and blackmail.
As a rule, the factor of surprise, a panic, and sometimes even a shock state, and the information itself lead to the fact that the person is unable to correctly respond to the call, assess the reality of the threat and get the most out of the conversation.
Threatening calls may come to you personally and contain, for example, requirements to pay a significant amount of money.
If similar calls have already been received on your phone or if you have reason to believe that they might arrive, be sure to install an automatic Caller Identification Number (AON) and sound recorder on your phone.
If there is an Caller ID, immediately write down the determined phone number in the notebook, which will avoid its accidental loss.
If you have sound recording equipment, immediately remove the cassette (mini-disc) with the recording of the conversation and take measures to preserve it. Be sure to install another cassette in its place.
Remember that without the number of the caller and the phonogram of the conversation, law enforcement agencies have very little material for work and there is no evidence base for use in court.
In the absence of sound recording equipment and caller ID, the following actions will greatly help law enforcement agencies to prevent the commission of crimes and to search for criminals:
try to remember the conversation verbatim and fix it on paper;
during the conversation, note the sex and age of the caller, the features of his (her) speech: voice (loud or quiet, low or high), pace of speech (fast or slow), pronunciation (distinct, distorted, stuttering, lisping, with an accent or dialect ), manner of speech (cheeky, with mockery, with obscene expressions);
be sure to note the sound background (the noise of cars or railway transport, the sound of television or radio equipment, voices, etc.);
note the nature of the call - city or intercity;
Be sure to record the exact time the conversation started and its duration.
It is necessary, if possible, during the conversation to receive answers to the following questions:
where, to whom, on what phone does this person call?
What specific requirements does he / she make?
Does he / she make demands personally, acts as an intermediary or represents some group of persons?
on what conditions does he (she) or do they agree to abandon the plan?
how and when can he be contacted?
to whom can you or should report this call?
Try to get the caller as long as possible for you to make decisions to “satisfy his requirements” or to take any other action.
Do not be afraid of intimidation of criminals, at the end of the conversation immediately report it to law enforcement. If there are fears that criminals are listening on your phone, call back from another number. Practice shows that concealment of the fact of such threats significantly complicates the situation and contributes to the commission of crime with impunity.
In addition to threats posed by telephone personally to you, criminals can use your phone number to communicate information that you will need to pass to law enforcement agencies. For example, a call is received on your phone in which an unknown person reports that your house is mined. When conducting a conversation of this kind, try to follow the above recommendations and get the most information possible. Upon completion, immediately report this information to law enforcement.
The receipt of the threat in writing
Threats in writing can come to you both by mail and in various anonymous materials (notes, inscriptions, information on a diskette, etc.).
After receiving such a document, handle it as carefully as possible.
Try not to leave your fingerprints on it.
Do not crumple the document, do not make notes on it. If possible, put it in a clean, tightly closed plastic bag and place it in a separate hard folder.
If the document arrived in an envelope, open it only on the left or right side, carefully cutting off the edges with scissors.
Save everything: the document itself with the text, any attachments, envelope and packaging - do not throw anything away.
Do not expand the circle of people familiar with the contents of the document.
All this will help law enforcement agencies in conducting subsequent forensic research.
Acceptance from citizens of anonymous materials containing various kinds of threats and demands is made out by their written application or the protocol for the adoption of an oral statement about the receipt or discovery of such materials.

YOU ARE THREATENED BY THE PHONE ... WHAT TO DO?

If you are threatened by phone or a terrorist calls, a kidnapper, a blackmailer
In a modern society where the telephone has become a ubiquitous means of communication, threats by telephone are a fairly common occurrence. Anyone rummaging through the directories will easily find your phone or fax number, then, picking up the phone, you can say anything in it.
Not only women are threatened. People working in institutions associated with a large flow of various visitors, for example, such as the social welfare departments, know that no one is safe from anonymous threats: neither men nor women. It is easy to dismiss this problem as a trifle, until it touches you personally.
After such a call, most people are seized by fear, and even panic: a person is afraid to go out. Realizing that you are being threatened can lead to despair, especially when you realize your own impotence. That's why threat calls should be taken very seriously, regardless of who they are addressed to: you, your colleague, subordinate, or a member of your team.
It is necessary to respond immediately, take urgent measures to track down the bully and protect his potential victim. Sometimes it’s just a “joke” of a person with mental disabilities. More often than not, the object of such jokers are women, whom they pronounce all sorts of dirty tricks and dirty tongues, but sometimes they can come up with a dirty curse on a man, so it’s not worthwhile to draw any boundaries here. A call that is offensive in its content may well become the basis for criminal prosecution.
The standard advice in such cases is to keep calm. Anonymous people like to “wind up” their victim. If such a call catches you at home, say “Hello” and try to identify the person by voice, allowing him to speak out. In official conditions it is more difficult to do this, if only because first you have to introduce yourself: your subscriber is waiting for you to call yourself. But if threatening calls are often frequented in one or another department, then you can ask his employees not to introduce themselves at every call.
In most cases, it’s not so difficult to find out who swears at you. If a person suddenly for no reason starts screaming, showering you with abuse, say "I'll call you back later" and hang up. Then contact your supervisor for help. It also happens that a person whom you know well as a respectful and polite client begins to curse and scandal. So, something out of the ordinary really happened. Maybe you should even contact the organization where this client works to find out what really happened.
It is much more dangerous to receive anonymous calls. You do not recognize the person by voice, he refuses to name himself, in these cases the best thing is to stop talking with him. If a person nevertheless introduces himself by name, but the conversation nevertheless begins to acquire an abusive tone, immediately interrupt him and hang up. Other customers just love to shout into the phone, as they say, to ease the soul. Do not give them such a chance: let them shout in another place. And without delaying the matter, contact the telephone station so that they, together with the police, will help protect you from such clients. Immediately inform the boss, security service, telephone operators on the switch about this call.
Having received such a call, try to record as much useful information as possible: side noises, accent, male (female) voice, characteristic expressions, exact time of the call, etc. If the call is recorded on the answering machine, save this record. Never answer irrelevant questions over the phone.
The scariest calls, which should be taken with the utmost seriousness, are calls that inform you that a bomb has been planted in your building. Unfortunately, the problem of terrorism has become widespread today. Make sure that all employees of your company, from the director to the telephone operator, know what to do in this case.
When receiving such a call, he recommends the following:
1. immediately give a signal to someone, if possible, to the leader of the highest rank, but do not hang up and continue the conversation:
2. try to extract the maximum of useful information;
3. make the interlocutor say: apologize for poor hearing, say that you have interference on the line, ask to repeat again, etc .;
4. fill out a special form, while trying to ask the necessary questions during the conversation;
5. hanging up, immediately hand over the completed form to the manager, who will decide what to do next;
All employees of the company must have two forms at their disposal and store them in a desk or near the telephone, so that if you receive a call from a terrorist, you can immediately put all the information in this form. The longer you drag out the conversation, the more information you can find out and the more chances the police have to quickly arrive at the scene and start searching for an explosive device. Your security service should have an approved plan of measures for the evacuation of employees from the building, which should begin immediately immediately after the call. It is not for you to decide whether it was a stupid rally or a real threat.
Never take responsibility in making such a decision for yourself.
Your task is to inform the higher management and try to get as much information as possible from the anonymous author. Follow this advice and you will save dozens of lives, including your own.
If possible, immediately warn someone around you about the nature of the call so that you can inform the management, but in no case DO NOT PUT THE PIPE ON THE LEVER AND DO NOT INTERRUPT THE TALK.

Try to get as much information as possible.
Make the subscriber speak (complain of poor audibility, ask to repeat, etc.). Fill out this form at the same time, asking the necessary questions along the way, if possible.

The text of the message itself (as accurately as possible)
Where is the message from?
When should an explosion occur?

If you are threatened

Pavel Skuratovsky, published in the journal "Business Journal" No. 22 of November 09, 2004.

- Is that all?
- All. I can’t tell him: "Partagenigenoss Bormann, sorry, I need to change the tape!"
"Seventeen Moments of Spring"

It all starts like a nightmare. Or like a bad detective novel. Someone is being called. Threat letters are being written to someone. And with the development of technology - after all, we live in the 21st century - letters can come both by e-mail and by ICQ. “Arrivals” to entrepreneurs, as well as the requirements put forward, can be very different - from banal “share” offers to the issuance of information constituting a trade secret, or the termination of activity in a certain area or in a specific area.

In order to start threatening you, it is not at all necessary to be the owner of a particular enterprise. Sometimes a hired worker can fall into the sphere of attention of criminals - it all depends on what the blackmailer wants to achieve. Who can do this? There are three main groups of potential enemies. Firstly, these are competitors to whom you for one reason or another crossed the road. Secondly, the so-called (and still existing) organized criminal groups ("organized crime groups") operating in your territory. And, thirdly, they are just “spontaneous" criminals. Cooperation, of course, is also possible: for example, your competitors can hire “brothers” to do the dirty work.
Legal method

First of all, we outline the range of issues that we will not touch on today. Outside the scope of the article, safety itself, both personal and business, will remain. It will be much better if professionals decide on these issues. Moreover, apart from advice to put an apartment or office on the alarm and to hire a bodyguard, nothing good can be recommended in this case. We will not discuss the possibility of agreeing to the requirements put forward by the menacing one, as well as disassembling the activities of our own security service, which is no less slippery and difficult (after all, at least here we will have to find out the interactions with representatives of the so-called "criminal world"). Therefore, we will concentrate on a narrow circle of tasks and try to consider the option in which you are preparing to deal with the enemy exclusively in legal ways. That is, seek help from the native law enforcement agencies.

One of our favorite media characters today is the “werewolves in uniform." However, believe me, in practice, most of the activities of our police still fall on its direct responsibilities - the investigation of crimes. Although in recent times numerous security services have been created based on the Western model, they can work only in cooperation with the police. That is why it would be useful to know what, in fact, is needed to prove: a crime has occurred.

No, I do not urge you to fulfill the duties of an officer or investigator. Rather ... I want to show how not to disturb them. Too often in practice there are situations when, due to the wrong actions of the victims, the disclosure of the crime is in question. In other words, we will analyze what a person who has been exposed to threats can do.
First tier

Despite the police and the prosecutor’s office, the first line of defense against any unlawful assault runs directly in front of you. (God forbid, of course, such "joy." Consider that an abstract lyrical hero is called "you" in the article.) No one knows his business better than its owner. Moreover, according to the data accumulated in practice, in many cases the victim of extortion was familiar with the criminal or conducted business with him, both legal and illegal.

Under certain circumstances, even if the interlocutor has not moved from threats to their implementation, his actions may contain the elements of a crime. So, if you are threatened with murder over the phone, then this action already contains the corpus delicti defined in Article 119 of the Criminal Code. The same article provides for liability for causing grievous bodily harm, so a formal reason for contacting the police appears even when the threat of reprisal is still very vague.

True, there is little hope that the criminal will immediately rush to search and catch. The "threat of murder" refers to crimes of minor gravity, and most likely, at your request, a decision will be made to refuse to institute criminal proceedings. And the material itself will quietly fall into the archive. However, being there, your message still has a certain value. If, in the end, a criminal case is brought against the ransomware, then the material can be picked up from the archive, and it will become one of the evidence that the threats against you were real and lasting.

In general, at the initial stage, it is important to fix and document everything correctly - it can come in handy later. Even the "logs" of ICQ or emails must be saved. Indeed, if it is not possible to determine where the message came from, then the text can be used for stylistic examination, which often allows authorship to be established.
Sound recording

If it happened that you became the object of blackmail or extortion, then by the way it turns out to be able to independently collect any information that can later be used as evidence in a criminal case. And voice recorders, and "smart" phones with the ability to record conversations, and security cameras are now widely used. However, even more widespread ... misconceptions related to audio and video recording. More precisely, with how, from the point of view of law, an unwritten recording of one’s own conversations looks like.

Even the instructions for my cell phone say: “You must inform your interlocutor that you are going to record the conversation, and not make the recorded conversations public” - this is in the section on the built-in voice recorder. In this case, the manufacturers simply translated the instruction into Russian, word for word, which is quite excusable for them: not lawyers, after all.

The Criminal Code, in fact, provides for liability for violation of privacy (Article 137) and privacy of telephone conversations (Article 138). It is this that gives grounds to people far from legal matters to believe that recording a conversation without notifying the interlocutor about it is a violation of these very articles. True, if you ask those who think so, whether it’s a simple retelling of their conversation over the phone (even without an interlocutor notifying them), then most likely the answer will be “no.” Although from a moral point of view, retelling this may not look good.

First of all, you need to understand the concepts. What kind of "private life" is this? Strictly speaking, there is no specific list of information, its components. By default, they include personal information, medical confidentiality, adoption secrets and other data, the distribution of which is somehow limited. However, a conversation with a person who has agreed to speak with you voluntarily cannot be considered a secret (in the sense that the word defines this word). Now, if the collection of information is carried out without the knowledge and consent of the person whom they concern, then the corpus delicti is evident.

And with the "breach of secrecy" of negotiations - even easier. Negotiations for you, in which you personally participate, strictly speaking, are not “secret”. And there will be no “violation of secrecy," if you want to make negotiations public, your actions will not be contained. The interlocutor himself wished to entrust you with the information that he had reported by telephone. And if he also threatens you, then in your actions you can see the so-called "extreme need" provided for in article 39 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Its essence is that any actions containing signs of a crime are not punishable provided that they were committed to eliminate the danger that threatened your rights. In this case, the harm caused must be less than prevented. So, from the point of view of the law, you are in your own right, and there can be no complaints against you.

But, having received an audio or video recording, you also need to submit it to the investigation or operational officers. Rather, this is necessary, by and large, to the investigator who is conducting the case. And you should, again, just not get in the way. But it’s harmless to know how you’ll record what will be used as evidence.

Here it’s clearly time to recall what evidence is in general. Their list is defined in article 74 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This is the testimony of the suspect, the accused, the witness, the expert, the specialist, the protocols of the investigative and judicial actions, the conclusions of the specialist and the expert, as well as “other documents”. Audio and video recordings are not included in the list (well, except perhaps under the definition of "other documents").

However, contrary to popular belief, any information can serve as evidence in the case, even received by a person who does not have the right to perform any functions in the case. Now the record made by you has the status, rather, “operational information”, and in order to nevertheless obtain evidence on its basis that can be used in court, additional work needs to be done.

Hello. I have such a problem. 3 months ago I had an unpleasant situation with the theft of one of the electronic library sites (Ladies' Club LADY) of my work. And for this reason, I had problems signing a contract with the publisher. I asked the site administration to remove my work from the list of works of authors collaborating with them for free. I have never concluded any contracts with them, and I learned about their existence only from the publisher I contacted with my work. The site administration demanded $ 200 for removal. Since I write not only for the soul but also for the sake of money, I am not shy to admit it, because I have a disabled child and are poor, I replied that I have nothing to pay them, explaining the reason, and that if they do not delete my work for free, I’ll turn to the police. Many times I asked the owner of this electronic library to solve the case without the participation of law enforcement agencies, but she didn’t agree to any removal for free and replied that I could go anywhere even to the president, the police would not deal with such a trifle. I need my money, a story was written for a year and I could not give it to her myself, I just couldn’t, I thought it was very unfair. I filed an application with the police, the police accepted the application, and I reported this to the administrator on the site. To which she replied that I had angered her and now she would act with me badly and if the police wasted her time, she would send a man with a criminal record to me who would deal with me or my child, depending on how persistent I was and then I’ll take my application to her from the police. She called herself the director of the Samarabuket company and wrote that she has a lot of money and connections with the authorities and criminal authorities of Samara. She called the man whom she was going to send to beat or kill me as her brother, but wrote that she has other men who will do this for her.
In the police, I reported that she was called the director of Samarabuket, that is, if it is really her, then she will know my home address from the investigators. If this is a friend of the director of Samarabuket (which can be concluded, because she knows that the director has a brother, she sends mass advertising mailings to both sites, only there are no more, and both domains are registered in the same name and the director did not deny that is related to the founders of this electronic library) then my address will also be known to her from a friend-director, whom investigators will inform him. And she herself, indeed, may not be found.
I would like to ask how real are these threats? Can a man really send murderers from Samara to Moscow from revenge for the fact that I filed an application with her to the police? Can she really send me killers if it turns out that she will be the only suspect? If she carries out her threat, can it be that she still will not have anything for it? Is it really easy to kill a person with impunity? Are there really real reasons why a person can be so sure of the impunity of any of his actions that he will stop at nothing? If this is possible, then how can one be saved from those whom this woman threatened to send to kill me, her children and herself? I can’t change the apartment, if its threats are not just threats, then how can I protect myself so that I can continue living without fear that her killers will come to me? I am very afraid. Thanks in advance for your advice.

 

[Адвокат]

You can find out your address, even if you do not live at the place of registration, in other ways, not necessarily through an investigator.

I doubt that in our time, people were killed on such an occasion, most likely, it puts pressure on your psyche.
However, you will not look into the head of another person, each has its own life values and guidelines. Moreover, for the site administration this is not just about your work, but about the creation of a legal precedent, on the basis of which other authors whose rights this site violates will be able to make their claims.

Therefore, preventive measures will not hurt you.
In order to protect yourself and your child you need:
1) For the threat of murder, Article 119 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for criminal liability:
Report to the police in detail on each case the circumstances of your receipt of threats (you can describe all the episodes in one statement, but without generalizations, and for each episode a separate description, when new threats arrive, you can submit additional statements):
- when (day, month, hour, minute), by means of which (a website, email, mobile phone, etc.) a threat was sent to your address;
- print the text of the threat, if the threat was expressed verbally - try to verbally state everything that was said, if possible, in the same words;
- it is obligatory to indicate in the statement that you perceive these threats as realizable and explain why you are afraid of their implementation;
2) For copyright infringement, in your case - illegal use of copyright objects, Article 146 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for criminal liability. To prove this crime you need to submit to the investigation:
- evidence of your authorship of an illegally distributed work;
- indicate the address of the site and its specific page through which your work was distributed;
- Your correspondence with the administration of the site and the domain through which your work was distributed, confirming that you did not conclude a contract for free cooperation;
- evidence that, in connection with the publication of your work on the Internet, the publisher refuses to publish your work, the calculation of the possible losses incurred by you - this will affect the classification of the crime (large size - if the cost of rights to use copyright objects exceeds 50 thousand rubles, especially large size - 250 thousand rubles).
3) It is difficult to establish the identity of a person who used the Internet for illegal purposes. The main problem is the need to prove that it was Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich who sent the message, or Ivanov Ivanovich in fact they own and use the site (domain) that they are registered with, and not someone else. However, following the traces left on the Internet, you can set the IP address of the computer and its location (if it is a laptop), using which correspondence was conducted. If the domain (site) is registered to a front man who does not know about this fact - this is the basis for the termination of such network resources.
4) Copyright protection in our country is a very vulnerable area of activity, but in recent years, law enforcement agencies have achieved considerable success. For example, unlicensed software disappeared from the official sale of computer stores. Therefore, do not sit back - you need to fight for your rights.
- Write a statement to the prosecutor with a request to suspend the activity of a site that violates your rights;
- Contact the hoster on which the site is located, with the requirement to take measures to the owner of the site that violates your rights. I recommend communicating with the hoster in an extremely polite manner, as he only provides a place for the site and is unlikely to participate in the violation of your copyrights, on the contrary, when he receives information about the illegal activities of site owners, he is interested in stopping such activities;
- Create a public response, for this you have great chances. Copyright Infringement - A hot topic for both society and journalists themselves. Contact all kinds of media and tell them what is happening, perhaps the journalists will conduct their independent investigation, which will greatly help law enforcement agencies (whose salaries are extremely low, and the workload is incommensurate with this salary and, in general, the person’s real capabilities are great, and therefore, they cannot meticulously and thoroughly investigate all cases, but special attention is paid to the resonant ones);
- Apply to a civil court for the protection of copyright infringement, with a request to compensate for material and moral damage (you can read more about this topic by clicking on the link: viewtopic.php? f = 98 & t = 2403 [/ url]).
Good luck to you.

good afternoon. tell me what to do. the ex-husband of my beloved woman threatens to kill me. Today a gun was attached to my head. there were no witnesses to this. threats went through it but no entries.
thanks in advance

 

[Адвокат]

Hello postman.
It’s not very clear who the threats go through. If a gun was attached to your head, then this is a clear and direct threat. It is difficult to advise anything without details in your situation.
To do this, you need to analyze:
- the background of the conflict,
- reasons for its development,
- the possibility of reconciliation,
- information about the villain: place of residence, telephones, place of work, occupation, whether he suffered from mental illness, drug addiction, alcoholism,
- data of persons who, in your opinion, can influence him, assist him in psychological and physical impact on you (if possible - name, address, telephone number),
- who put a gun, that he said, who was present, who could see or hear it,
- Does the ex-husband of your beloved woman have a gun (pneumatic, gas, combat?).
- the behavior of your beloved woman in this conflict (perhaps her ex-husband perceives some actions as a hope for the resumption of relations, or her actions cause aggression on the part of the ex-husband)
A simple statement like: "I will kill you!" it is not enough to qualify the act as a threat of murder, for this it is necessary that the environment in which such threats are expressed creates a real opportunity for their implementation, in addition, the victim must perceive the threat as real.
If threats are expressed without witnesses and without audio recordings, unfortunately, it is practically impossible to prove the fact of such threats.
Therefore, if you intend to contact the authorities with a view to bringing a person to criminal liability, it is advisable that you or your beloved woman make an audio or video recording of the threats, preferably on an analogue medium, such a recording will be the basis for an ex-husband Your beloved woman will be checked, while the police will instruct you on how to behave in a particular situation in order to officially record the fact of threats against you.
If physical force is used against you, the first thing you should do is to go to the emergency room, to record bodily injuries caused to you, even if these are small bruises, even if you have no bruises, and you are experiencing physical pain in some place insist that the doctor record this fact in medical documents, as well as reflect the circumstances of your injury in medical documents. It is necessary to decide where to go first to the police or to the trampoline according to the circumstances - if the offender (s) can be detained in hot pursuit, then it is better to go to the police first. Given that the police often try not to accept applications from citizens, it is better to call 02 in advance (or if you are in St. Petersburg from a mobile phone 112 - for free). If after such a call you don’t receive a statement at the police department or give out a coupon notice that your application has been accepted and registered with a certain number, you can call 02 (112) back - this service monitors the execution of citizens' applications.
