Overview
This bill makes it a crime in New Jersey to publicly post a judge, prosecutor, or court administrator’s home address or phone number online, unless done with the intent to harass or create a risk of harm. The law specifically prohibits knowingly publishing this information on the internet. Violations are considered a fourth-degree crime, punishable by up to 18 months in prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both. It is modeled after a similar law protecting law enforcement officers.
