California Penal Code 422 holds that it is a crime to make criminal threats (also known as Terrorist Threats), which are defined as willfully threatening to commit a crime which will result in death or injury to an individual you currently or formerly had a relationship with. Criminal threats may include threats that are verbalized, written, or transmitted via electronic communication and can charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor, based upon aggravating factors.
