Thank you. Getting a lawyer is an excellent idea. I have one who is updated with this stuff. Telephoto lens is a good idea. Why do I cower and back away? Because I am not trained in self-defense and one sheriff told me to not get involved. Yes, I should be more assertive when they are parked next to me and staring at me. Why so many with the energy to stalk me? It’s a sport. One Sheriff told me is common here in So Cal. I talked to a private eye last week and he said I have all my bases covered, since the local Sergeant has many photos like the four above. I shall ask the private eye to help more.
Does anyone in your current or past life have a reason to want to do this?
Ex-wife, ex-girlfriend, bad business deal?
Random stalking can happen but it is less likely than personal motivations.
“sheriff told me to not get involved”
You’re involved already my friend. Be prepared to fight like your life depends on it. Dig deep.
Being that this is clearly a serious issue, you need to involve as many people and institutions as possible. You need to tell all of your friends and family about your situation.
Keeping law enforcement fully updated is prudent, and you should let your medical providers know what is happening to you.
If you should feel threatened in any way, feel unsafe, or feel that people around you may not be safe, go to a police station, a fire station, or a hospital and tell them everything.
If the sheriff tells you “not to be involved” that probably means they don’t believe you.
That probably means you were not calm enough and relaxed enough to persuade them anything real was going on...
That is a lesson for the next time you visit them.
Treat this like a boring accounting spreadsheet.
You have to figure out all the numbers and the balance sheet has to balance but it is boring boring boring—zero emotion.
That gives you credibility.
