A: You have the right to take legal action if you are being stalked and harassed. Gathering evidence such as videos, pictures of vehicles, and names of individuals involved strengthens your case. It’s crucial to document everything meticulously and keep a detailed record of all incidents.

You can file a police report to ensure the authorities are aware of the harassment. This step is essential for your safety and can also support any future legal proceedings. Providing the evidence you’ve collected to the police can help them take appropriate action.

Consulting with an attorney who has experience with harassment cases can guide you on the best course of action. They can explain your legal options, help you file any necessary paperwork, and represent you in court if needed. Taking these steps can help you address the harassment and protect your rights.
