Even though having a visit from the cops would probably cause this guy to be scared into no longer doing this?

- meowface 11y agoI'm sure it would've, but they would've needed to commit resources to investigate and confirm the claims were likely true before doing that.
- striking 11y agoAnecdotal evidence suggests that this tactic only works on some people. Some stalkers don't care when they get a visit from the police (the police very clearly can't do anything and will state that explicitly). Some may take a short break and then feel the urge come back; others may just go right ahead. (Some people don't realize they're stalking, and will stop. It's worth a try to ask them to stop.) After having asked nicely, suing is unfortunately your only recourse. And it really sucks that suing takes so much time, effort, and money, especially in a situation like this.
