Man uses eye reflection in a selfie to stalk Japanese idol
- Thread starter signal
- Start date
I once moved into an apartment building in the States where a woman was killed by her ex (I googled the address after I had moved). She had a restraining order, guy didn't obey it (calling her, emailing her, contacting her job), she showed the police all of this stuff several times. They did nothing. She told them that she felt that her life was in danger and they weren't taking her serious. She was murdered the following day. Awful stuff that's WAYYYYYYYYYY too common.
This is absolutely horrifying and part of the reason I almost never post anything of myself or anything inside/around my house on the internet. I feel so bad for Ena, the cops that ignored her are bastards.
Rules on stalking, revenge porn and the like are improving but are sadly quite far behind other countries.
The higher ups in the Justice Dept. don't see it as a priority and give the tasks of coming up with new laws to underlings who despite their best efforts, struggle to get their recommendations into law.

Dammit, they got Walter Bishop out of the mental ward again.
On a more serious note: The internet has dedicated corners with people devoted to doing this sort of thing. It's part of why what people say online isn't "just words". (And why it never has been.)

To be clear for a couple of people commenting, the police didn't ignore her; the article says Mayu Tomita, who was stabbed in 2016, was ignored, not Matsuoka. However, police ignoring these issues is definitely a common thing, a lot of heartbreaking stories about women reaching out desperately, getting rebuffed/"We can't do anything right now" and then they wind up attacked.
He absolutely could've killed her. I hope the police know that.
Yup. No police in any country will lift a finger unless a crime has already been committed. So if you're scared of a man stalking you or following you, the police won't even walk you home for a few days to be safe. Which they really should do. It's hardly asking a lot.

Holy shit this is terrifying. Imagine being a public figure and knowing that there could be thousands, if not millions of people like him watching you.
Are people there able to seek restraining orders?
