ORIGINAL: MrSpectacular Err - do they have cops down under. Do they have restraining orders? Err... restraining orders are a joke. They olny restrain lawabiding people -not stalkers. Obviously,you have no experinace with DV laws,or P/TROs. Why don`t you just suggest throwing your hands up in the air,and hope for the best? Cops can't be around all the time and it takes them 20 mins to get there. You are only safe if you can afford a 24 hour bodyguard. Most of the time,they do work.Not having one, is the surest way to be bothered. Do you really think it is that simple? Do you have ANY idea kind of people we are talking about here? It`s never simple,just a 1st step.With out a TRO or PRO,the police are powerless to do anything ,pro-active or preventative or otherwise.With a TRP/PRO,the police can arrest him/her,for just being there,or close to her,or close to her family members. After the 1st violation,he/she`s in front of a judge,w/ jail time and fines,for breaking the order that the judge signed.Judges don`t like to be fucked with. Doing nothing,only invites the scoundrels to continue,and gives them an implied permission to keep going.A Permanent Restraining Order, is as obvious as you can get,and says that it is over and done,and to move on.Most do move on. Nope and you don't need to. I just helped a long time friend deal with and eventually get rid of(for now) her stalker/ex bf.It took 10 months of effort and countless trips to the next county to be there for her.It was exhausting in every way,especially mentally.He once pointed a loaded revolver at me,knowing I was helping her.Everyone is at risk,with stalkers. Everything I mentioned,was a recommendation from the Domestic Violence councilor she had.There`s no magic pill,but there are ways to go about this.Your approuch is,(to do nothing)is about as useful as rocks in your bed.
