I worked the road as a State Trooper for 16 years before the pilots position opened up and finally got promoted. Don’t miss stalker cases one dang bit. Be it a ex, family or neighbor dispute, jilted love, or just some sick obsession, they all suck. They rationalize their behavior and never see it as wrong. Harassment or protection orders don’t stop them but at least after serving them at least we could arrest them every time they violated henceforth. Until they violated a half a dozen more times it was pretty much “catch and release”. Frustrating as hell. Judges just always want to give another chance. Couple years ago, poor women was killed by her stalker. Sob had paper and been arrested a couple of times for violating. Things have toughened up some since, but have been told it’s sliding back to the old ways.
if you don’t think this lady had every reason to be terrified, you can’t imagine what always looking over your shoulder is like. Then to be victimized again by sometime police that consider it just another annoying complaint or the courts that just don’t want to have a judgement with teeth overturned on appeal sucks. The DB in this case needs to be put away for a good long while. Keeping him out of an airplane is hardly the biggest issue. He will keep escalating until he hurts or kills this lady. Those who don’t think this clown’s actions are serious would feel a lot different if it was their daughter, sister, wife or mother this was happening to.
