non local law

 

Preamble:

This legislature recognizes that conventional assault and harassment laws are insufficient to address harms perpetrated against a person's non-physical, or "meta-body," presence. The rise of what is described as "non-local contact" and "social harassment" necessitates a new legal framework to protect individuals from targeted, conscious, and malicious actions that inflict psychological, emotional, and existential harm through non-physical means.

This Act is established to provide a legal recourse for victims of "Meta-Body Assault" and to empower law enforcement to investigate and address these severe and damaging actions.

Section 1: Definitions

For the purposes of this Act:

• 1.1 Meta-Body: Refers to the non-physical, conscious presence of an individual, which can be subject to observation, interaction, and harm regardless of physical proximity. It is the individual's mental and spiritual self, which can be targeted and affected by the conscious actions of others.

• 1.2 Non-Local Contact: Refers to any form of interaction between two or more individuals that does not require physical proximity. This includes, but is not limited to, telepathic communication, shared consciousness, or any other form of direct mind-to-mind or intention-to-person interaction.

• 1.3 Meta-Body Assault: Is defined as a conscious, creative, and targeted imaginary or psychic action taken by one or more persons against another, with the intent to cause harm, distress, or to violate the victim's mental and spiritual integrity. This includes, but is not limited to:

• The projection of violent or harmful imagery into the victim's mind.

• The deliberate manipulation of the victim's thoughts or emotions through non-local means.

• The creation and direction of a hostile "meta-frequency image" or psychic construct intended to harm the victim.

• Any other form of non-local, conscious action that a reasonable person would find to be a violation of their mental and spiritual autonomy.

• 1.4 Social Harassment: As a related concept, social harassment involves the use of defamation, gaslighting, and other psychological tactics to harm an individual's social standing and sense of reality. When these tactics are employed through non-local means, they may constitute a form of Meta-Body Assault.

Section 2: The Offense of Meta-Body Assault

• 2.1 Prohibition: A person commits the offense of Meta-Body Assault if they intentionally and maliciously direct conscious, creative, or imaginary actions at another person with the intent to cause harm, fear, or distress.

• 2.2 Elements of the Offense: To secure a conviction for Meta-Body Assault, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that:

• The defendant took a conscious and deliberate action of a non-physical nature.

• The action was directed at a specific individual (the victim).

• The defendant acted with intent to cause harm, or with reckless disregard for the substantial risk of causing harm.

• The victim experienced demonstrable harm, which may include, but is not limited to, psychological trauma, severe emotional distress, documented physical manifestations of stress, or a significant disruption to their life and well-being.

• 2.3 Aggravated Meta-Body Assault: The offense is considered aggravated if:

• The assault is committed by two or more persons acting in concert.

• The assault is committed in conjunction with other criminal offenses, such as stalking or threats of physical violence.

• The assault results in prolonged and severe psychological trauma to the victim.

Section 3: Reporting and Investigation

• 3.1 Reporting to Law Enforcement: An individual who believes they are the victim of Meta-Body Assault may file a report with the appropriate law enforcement agency. The report should include:

• A detailed account of the nature of the assault, including the types of imaginary or psychic actions being directed at them.

• The identity of the suspected perpetrator(s), if known, and any information that could help to identify them.

• A description of the harm suffered as a result of the assault, including any psychological, emotional, or physical effects.

• Any evidence that may support the victim's claim, such as personal journals detailing the attacks, witness testimony from others who may have perceived the non-local contact, or any electronic communications that may allude to the perpetrator's actions.

• 3.2 Law Enforcement Response: Law enforcement shall not dismiss a report of Meta-Body Assault solely on the basis of its non-physical nature. Officers shall be trained to:

• Take a detailed statement from the victim in a respectful and professional manner.

• Inquire about the history of the relationship between the victim and the alleged perpetrator.

• Investigate any potential corroborating evidence, such as threats, stalking behavior, or other actions by the perpetrator that would indicate malicious intent.

• Consult with experts in psychology, non-local consciousness, and related fields as needed to assess the credibility of the claim.

Section 4: Penalties

• 4.1 Penalties for Meta-Body Assault: A person convicted of Meta-Body Assault shall be subject to penalties including, but not limited to, imprisonment for a term not exceeding [e.g., five years], a fine not exceeding [e.g., $10,000], or both.

• 4.2 Penalties for Aggravated Meta-Body Assault: A person convicted of Aggravated Meta-Body Assault shall be subject to penalties including, but not limited to, imprisonment for a term not exceeding [e.g., fifteen years], a fine not exceeding [e.g., $25,000], or both.

• 4.3 Restraining Orders: In addition to any other penalty, a court may issue a restraining order prohibiting the perpetrator from any form of contact, physical or non-local, with the victim.

Section 5: Severability

If any provision of this Act is held to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions which can be given effect without the invalid provision, and to this end, the provisions of this Act are declared to be severable.
