One Big Difference Between the U.S. and the U.K. Cybercrime Filings

I always thought that the U.K was allot more intelligent in terms of administration then the U.S.A.

It reminds me of the old joke, when asked if they celebrate the Fourth of July in Britain, the answer is of course we do, we call it Thanksgiving.

In the U.S.A. you must first go to your local authorities to report Cybercrime (and the F.B.I. if it is cross state). You usually cant go to the alleged suspects home police department- you local police or investigative authorities must do this for you.

In the U.K you can file complaints directly with local authorities. You do not have to go through your local police. If you have collaborating evidence like IP addresses.

Please keep this in mind if you too wish to file a complaint of internet stalking and harassment.

On this note, it has been suggested to to keep silent on this subject by the authorities involved. And I've promised not to put up posts for a few days anyway!
