How Is Stalking Committed?
The crime of stalking is easily committed. In fact, if you merely “observe” someone on more than one occasion or photograph a person on more than one occasion or “communicate” with someone on more than one occasion and your conduct causes that person to fear for his safety or causes that person emotional distress you can be charged and convicted of stalking.
Civil Stalking Injunctions
It may be that you are not facing criminal charges for stalking but someone has instead brought a civil stalking injunction against you. Civil stalking injunctions are nearly as serious as their criminal counterparts because a violation of a civil stalking injunction become criminal stalking. The elements of a civil stalking injunction is typically the same as criminal stalking, but the standard is lower, i.e., the person bringing the petition for civil stalking injunction need only show that the stalking has more likely than not occurred.
