A woman was arrested for “poking” someone on Facebook. You might think that she deserved to be arrested for using that feature, but it was actually because it was a violation of an order of protection. But still, poking sucks.
A Hendersonville woman was arrested for virtually “poking” someone on the social networking site Facebook.
Shannon D. Jackson, 36, was arrested Friday, Sept. 25 for allegedly violating an order of protection.
According to the affidavit filed in Sumner County General Sessions Court, Jackson is accused of using the “poke” option on Facebook to contact a Hendersonville woman, thus violating the terms of the order of protection, which stipulates “no telephoning, contacting or otherwise communicating with the petitioner.”
Poking is a feature unique to Facebook that conveys no other message but informing a user they have been “poked” by another user.
Hendersonville police have made copies of the page in which the alleged victim is shown to be “poked,” according to the affidavit.
Waaaaait so this person whom she poked had an order of protection against Jackson, but she said, “Oh, fine, we can stay Facebook friends”? How desperate do you have to be for online validation to do that? “Hey, you stabbed my dog. I am not okay with that. But you can totally check out my results for the quiz, ‘What Is Your Favorite Type of Dog Whom You’d Prefer Not Get Stabbed?’ I would never take that right away from you.”

I had a similar incident happen when I tried to poke a girl I met on Facebook that involved the cops. People shouldn't take themselves so seriosuly, I mean I was just doing what Facebook told me to do. And is it a crime to be naked on a college campus?
FYI Chris…you don't have to be someone's "friend" to poke them. Just go to their page…that is one of the options along with being able to send them a message, and also doing a friend request.
I think with most people you do, at least with the "correct" privacy settings. Either way, if the ex thought she was a danger, maybe he should block her entirely then? They're both idiots.
