Q: Does a person have to directly tell anther person either verbally or in writing or by 3rd person that they DO NOT want
to be contacted by internet, telephone, 3rd party, etc by that person anymore and make the alleged abuser clearly aware that they DO NOT want to be contacted by that person at all anymore and if that person DOES NOT comply with that persons request and CONTINUES to contact that person AFTER being DIRECTLY TOLD not, ONLY then can the victim LEGALLY go file stalking, harassment, or cyber stalking charges on that person to obtain a protective order on them??
Is it not AGAINST federal & Louisiana State laws for the alleged victim to go file stalking, cyberstalking, harassment charges in order to be able to obtain a Temp restraining order on that person if they NEVER even notified the alleged abuser even once NOT to contact them anymore??
Just going to police station and claiming someone is stalking, cyberstalking, and harassing, that has NO IDEA whatsoever that they are not to be contacting that person anymore CAN NOT be legal in any court, is it?
A: Your question is convoluted. But if told to cease and desist, continued contact is harassment.
