  Tell the police he threatened a CEO and they’ll send the FBI after him before lunch!

    Just a word of warning… don’t lie to cops…

    That’s actually a crime and they love dinging people for whatever they can.

    in any case, it’s not untraceable. it’s probably pretty easily traced. but it’s a matter of filling out some paperwork to get started and cops hate paperwork. (I hate this I hope OP stays safe.)

      I know. I wasn’t being serious. Just trying to highlight the absurdity that this person is ignored when a CEO would get instant reaction. I hope the OP is ok too.

      I think another posters idea to turn off read receipts was a good idea. Then the stalker won’t know if the message got through.

        I wonder why somebody thought it was a good idea to make cell phones nark by default. read receipts was a dumb idea crafted by some middle manager from hell.

        another option is to block unknown contacts from sending messages. IOS, the android/google messages and most messaging apps have a way to filter messages and just block anyone not in your contact list.

      but indeed, if OP was a CEO, the FBI would take immediate action about it

        Then I suggest OP hurry and become a CEO with a 7 figure income asap!

  If the police continue to not do their job, hire an attorney (if you can afford one) to go with you. The attorney doesn’t even need to do anything except be a witness.

  They tell you there’s nothing they can do because they don’t want to be bothered. And they don’t want their stats to go up.

  Having an attorney present bumps it up to “being fucked by court duty is worse than doing some paperwork”. Likely nothing they can do but having the paper trail of a stalking report will help YOU should the stalker escalate.

    You know, that’s a good point.

    I just checked. Victims are also entitled to speak to a public defender- or anyone interacting with the court or the justice system- including cops. (a private lawyer will be way more effective, PD’s are… stretched thin and overworked. yet another thing that needs to be changed.)

      Lawyers will also do free consults, so it’s worth it to at least call around to a couple of places and see how much it will cost. My partner had to do this once and one of the lawyers ended up giving us pro bono legal advice and making a call to the police just because he thought the whole situation was stupid. He was like, “I’ll call them and figure out what their plan is and then we can figure out if you even need to hire a lawyer.” (His advice after talking to the cops was that we probably didn’t need to hire him, but that there were a couple of things he could do if we still wanted to.) So that was a nice and unexpected resolution that wouldn’t have happened had we not tried to hire someone.

  They did file multiple reports with the police, who did nothing.

  This has been my experience with the police too, any time I’ve needed help or something has happened that needed investigating, they couldn’t be bothered to lift a finger. The closest they ever came to being helpful was when I did their job for them and handed them all the proof, no charges but they talked the idiot who damaged my place into paying money for parts so I could fix what they did. The system is fucking garbage unless you are rich.

    like I said. the squeaky wheel gets the grease because it’s annoying as fuck. Keep doing it. Keep documenting it. Keep filing civilian complaints naming the officer explaining how difficult it was just to get them to do the report and they won’t do anything else.

    it sucks. It’s awful. it certainly shouldn’t be this way.

        For more fighter jets, obviously.

    Then do the next steps, complain to the court directly, inform politicans and the press. Police not doing their job should be seen as a big issue.

      Then the police start targeting you for being a pain in their ass. I see you are not familiar with this dance, you must be very lucky!

        Then fucking get out of that dictatorial hell and complain from a safe country

    The system was designed to protect the upper upper class from the rest of us. Everything else is a ruse to get us to sign on. Know the law, know your (lack of) rights.
