Restraining Orders

For purposes of getting a civil stalking protection order, stalking is defined as

• any act that is included in the crime of stalking; or
• a “course of conduct” that meets the following four requirements:
  1. It involves any of these repeated or continuing acts:
     • contacting you;
     • attempting to contact you;
     • monitoring you;
     • tracking you;
     • keeping you under observation; or
     • following you;
  2. It would reasonably cause a person to feel intimidated, frightened, or threatened;
  3. It has no lawful purpose; and
  4. The stalker knows or should know that the conduct threatens, frightens, or intimidates you, even if the stalker did not mean make you feel that way.¹

Note: A course of conduct can be acts that are physical, verbal, written, electronic, or done through other means. The stalker can use a phone, computer, computer network, computer system, telephone network, data network, text message, instant message, or other method.²
