One of the best features of legislating against non-competes is that an employer can't sue a former employee for violating a non-compete. Right now, for most occupations in my jurisdiction (Indiana, USA), non-competes are usually not enforceable, but it costs $500-$2500 to get these lawsuits thrown out. Some employers will sue former employees knowing they can't afford a defense, or just to throw shade on them at their new job.
