Apparently, they can convict too:

Pretty much, just existing and having someone claim that you intimidated / threatened them is enough for a misdemeanor or even felony menacing conviction in CO.

Just goes to show that the laws aren't there to handle the bad guys, they are there to control the good guys!

"Believe it or not, it is not even necessary for the person to be aware of the threat! You can be found guilty of menacing a sleeping person. The District Attorney would have to prove that you knew that your actions, if discovered (if the person woke up), would place the person in fear."

Oh my freaking GOD... you have to be kidding me...

Yeah, that part FLOORED me as well! Like I said, you can be convicted of menacing for just existing!
