Under the California Penal Code, it is illegal to make an immediate threat of harm to another person if you intend to, and actually do cause fear in the other person. A criminal threat can be made to another person face-to-face, over the phone, or even over the internet. The crime of criminal threats is classified as a serious felony and is punishable by up to 3 years in state prison.
