DA>Just ask any woman who is being threatened by an ex-husband or
DA>ex-boyfriend.  What do the cops tell those women?   The cops usually
DA>say that they can't do anything until he actually *does* something, and
DA>*then* the cops can do something.  I didn't fully understand that until
DA>I became the person being threatened.
DA>It's almost the same with the stalking laws.  You have to have tape
DA>recordings or eye witnesses, or else keep a log of repeated events.
DA>The police fall back on the position of "no harm = no foul,"  so until
DA>someone is hurt or property is damaged, they don't make an arrest.
You are definitely correct sir!  That is one reason Montana (and other
western states)is bucking the gun laws clear up to the Supreme Court.  May
the almighty being and horse sense prevail.
DA>I did buy a pocket micro-cassette to slip into my pocket for future use
DA>Even if it won't do anything with the cops, I can play it for the kid's
DA>grandmother and the apartment manager.
Hey, you never know!  I have one I take to all Government functions, like
the VA hospital,etc....
