You would be shocked and disheartened at how hard it is to get one of those. I had an ex that was legit stalking me; I had all kinds of texts and letters and my firm refusals of all of them IN WRITING, I had cameras at my front and back doors that showed him prowling around the sidewalks at LEAST once weekly, I had people at my workplace who knew him and sequestered me away if they saw him and they were willing to vouch for me, but because he never got “violent” or actually violated my private space (i.e. he was on the sidewalk, not on my front porch), they couldn’t do anything.

It wasn’t until he actually broke into my house (and THANKFULLY there was a patrol car that was close enough to reroute to me that they showed up before he could make a break for it) that they finally “had enough to go on.”

And it’s STILL not foolproof. He breaks it every so often. He went to jail once, but mostly they just send someone out to shoo him off if he hasn’t gone away on his own.

Restraining orders aren’t useless, but they’re not really that helpful either.

Anon with the crazy 3am text stalker here and I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Yeah, restraining orders aren’t super easy to get and even once you’ve got one you still end up having to call the cops to get them to show up, the same way you would without the order, only maybe a bit faster if you’re lucky.
