It's not at all a function of info being online - even when everything was done via paper, a trip to the county courthouse could easily identify lots of information that's useful to a stalker.<BR/><BR/>Also, no online source is nearly as informative for a stalker as the old fashioned approach of digging through their target's household trash.<BR/><BR/>However, I'd also suggest there's a price to be paid for living in fear and radically altering your lifestyle because someone is trying to scare or intimidate you.<BR/><BR/>For that reason, I'd suggest adding to this list of advice, and might even put it first on the list: Buy a gun, learn to use it, get a concealed carry permit, and if you're ever physically threatened - particularly in the home where (at least in Texas) the Castle Doctrine will protect you - blow the SOB to kingdom come.Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-90508765557729322222009-01-22T09:53:00.000-05:002009-01-22T09:53:00.000-05:00Garage door openers broadcast a signal to a rather...Garage door openers broadcast a signal to a rather wide area and a nearby car can "grab" the signal and then later duplicate it.<BR/><BR/>Baby monitors broadcast a signal as well and usually lack any ability to encrypt their video images.FleaStiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837830811566745662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-43292952155698907262009-01-22T09:47:00.000-05:002009-01-22T09:47:00.000-05:00One problem that should be kept in mind is the use...One problem that should be kept in mind is the use of GPS data loggers to track automobile locations and also a use of cell phones to send those GPS coordinates in real time to a stalker.FleaStiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837830811566745662noreply@blogger.com
