New NM laws are on the books: don't Google your ex too often!

Senate Bill 166 revises the crime of stalking, to include cyberstalking and other use of technological devices for stalking.

"Stalking is a continuance of behavior, so it takes more than one report (to show a pattern). Sometimes, they (victims) won't come in until some months later and say someone has been doing it," said Luna County Sheriff's Sgt. Joy Mullins.

The new law extends stalking violations to use of emails and other electronics. Records of such use may be subpoenaed for court use.
