Please help i am being Stalked

...apparently in the US you have to sit in the "selection pool" for awhile...Mr. T. has been there for a few days, but I guess the lawyers on both sides would veto him... probably the whole trial would be about what Mr. T. is likely to decide...

It varies from state to state.

Here in New York, what happens is that you get a questionnaire that you have to fill in and send back to the local commissioner of jurors. Eventually, you'll get the summons telling you what week your juror service is. Service is one week or one trial (that is, a trial on which you're actually serving as a juror) -- you have to call the commissioner's office each evening to find out whether or not they'll be needing any jurors the next day. When I got my summons back in 2003, they didn't need any jurors the entire week, so I just had to listen to the prerecorded messages saying they didn't need any jurors, and then call the office at the end of the week to get the four-year exemption.

I got called again last September, and this time I did have to go to the county courthouse for juror selection. However, just before the case was set to go to juror selection, which would have taken all day, the lawyers for the parties settled. Thankfully, they didn't need any jurors the rest of the week. And for the hour and a half I spent at the county courthouse, I got the princely per diem rate of USD40.

The other good thing is that here in New York, exemptions are now up to six years, so I can't be called again until the end of 2014.

There's always this approach to avoiding jury duty...

Have to file that away for future reference.

...and I was going to say, "My sentiments precisely..."....but being a polite, tactful Canadian, I would never say such a thing to an authority figure....I would just try to figure out some devious, sneaky way to "legally" get out of having to serve....

for OP - I hope you can find a camera placement outside of the car. But is sending flyers around warning neighbors
about vandelism ok/normal here? In our old neighborhood, a neighborly heads up about crime got everyone on the
lookout naturally.

in WA jury duty only pays 10 USD a day, might have been a lot for the 50s, but they never indexed it to inflation.
But if you are a stay at home parent they won't compensate kid care so getting out of service is fairly speedy.
There is an experiment to see if paying 60 USD would increase jurors showing up for duty, ya think! Now that
there is an economic crisis, I'm sure the 10 a day won't increase.

One should be careful about cameras since it might not be legal to place them just anywhere, at least without first posting a warning sign about it. (See Rikoslaki 24 luku 6 § and 7 §.)

But is sending flyers around warning neighbors about vandelism ok/normal here?

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be OK; you get all kinds of flyers and ads in your mailbox all the time anyway. Haven’t seen it myself though. (The housing company has sent me a couple of times a notice that someone has broken in to the storage compartments in the basement and that residents should make an evaluation of what is lost and report the stolen items to the police but that’s a bit different thing, I guess.)

[quote="maxxfi"]Can you see the parking space from your home? Just wondering if would be possible to put a videocam/camera at your window,
one of those that activate only when there is movement around.

About the dick face drawing: would this detail help reveal its author, if it's likely man/woman, Finn/foreigner, young/adult, etc. ?[/quote

where can i get the videocam/camera? about the drawing i cant figure it out according to the author, thats actually impossible

[maurine]

why don't you watch the car for a while. find the times when you're car is mostly messed with and watch the night before.

Or get a good friend to do it so that the neighbour won't know...(You know get them to park in their car and watch with binos coffee and donuts...get a black one and a white one so they feel like they're in some US cop interracial buddy movie. Make them have an argument about music. )

Gimme 2,000 euros and I can talk to your neighbour.

BTW: bit crazy aren't you for not locking the car?

of course if i watch the car the crime wont be committed. and beside i don't have time to sit outside all day just watching it. put yourself in my position i don't think you will do the same. or give me suggestion what you will do beside sitting outside with a donuts and coffee?

[Bubba Elvis XIV]

Well....Sorry, I tried to help.

If I was really bothered about it then yes I would sit outside and watch the car....I don't mean that I would sit right outside the damn car...I mean sit out of the way and watch the car. Can you see your car from your house/flat?

How do you think people catch people doing stuff?

As I said get a friend to do it.

Have you even spoke to the police?

no i haven't spoken to the police but i don't think it will help anything, i cant see my car from where i live since we live in a rivitalo, so my car is parked beside the road. i don't think any of my friends will ever be willing to sit around and watch, every time when i talk to them about the spitting woman they are just like " ooh what a bitch" no help there. Seriously i have reached a point where i feel like selling my car but i cant live without it, i need it most of the time.

You should be able to find a small,easily concealable camera in ebay,for example.Put it inside the car before you park it by your house(and of course before you get there),and identify the retard that is doing that to you first of all.Then you can decide how to act.

This sounds like a very fatalistic attitude towards the problem.
If you want to solve it, you have to think of things that will work, not try to find reasons why things don't work.

First step is go to the police. Even if they don't take action, they can give you professional advice. But I think they take stalking serious.
The other thing you have to do is log every incident (time, date, what happened, a picture if possible). And do this openly so your neighbour can see it. It might already scare here off.

to the orginal poster,

i would say go talk to your local police station and ask for advice, and if u r a woman, more so...say to them u feel threatened make it sound like a pervert is stalking u ,then they take it seriously.....

if they do not do anything, ask if u can put a notice on your car window...saying that these incidence has been reported to the police...that will scare them up.

Is there some young teenagers..say 12-15 boys around the area, they will be the culprit...! they get this high when the spring starts.....it is called hormonal imbalance...


hope this helps

Thanks that sounds like a good idea.

The only way to do is take some photographs, show to the police and sue her.
The problem is that you can be sued because you didn't put any sign that you may take some photos. A criminal always have more rights you know

I am sorry to know about your situation.
