The story: This friend of mine works with a person that was picked up for parole violation, but they questioned him about someone taking 15k from the place of work. They didn't have enough info on him to charge him with it, so they need to let him go. I guess the scumbag tried to say it was my friend, because they both had the same job, and the police came and questioned her, and she is no longer a suspect. The problem is, they're letting the guy go on the parole stuff, and he knows her phone number, and where she lives(they worked together for over a year). While the guy was supposedly under arrest for the parole stuff he sent her a text message asking for her help. She sent something back to the tune of "how dare you ask for my help after you put me through 5 hours at the police station the day before my finals start". Now the thing is, she's afraid he's going to come find her. She talked to a lawyer, and they haven't gotten back to her yet. However because of what he was picked up for, I guess the police said they can't file a restraining order. What can she do as far as something that a judge can hand down so that if the guy even tries to contact her that the police can pick him up for violating it? Any advice you NY LEO's can pass on would be helpful. Thanks in advance. |

Restraining/Protection orders are not worth the paper they are written on. They only provide another thing to charge the bad guy with after he maims, rapes, or kills you. The cops will and can do nothing to help prevent an attack. As always, you are responsible for your own protection. 3S's. |
