Many times. Between my unsupervised childhood to my age today it's happened at least once a year. As a kid it was creeps that didn't expect me to see them let alone walk into the police substation at the mall. My teens and 20s it was guys and gals my age and much older. I took a dance class at 19 and the instructor who was married wouldn't take no for an answer so he let enough information slide that my friends and I knocked on his door for the "trick or treating" he'd invited me over for. He wasn't expecting 30 people who told him to back off. 30s It's guys my age and up but not as bad with the older set. I've driven to police stations, told security, brought friends because turn about is fair play when he crossed the lines he had, and once, just once brought him to my grandma's house with her and my parents there. Grandpa was a police officer and grandma was probably lucky she married a police officer so he wouldn't have to testify against her. Adding my grandma taped up a wrench when someone threatened my 20yo dad and somehow my pseudo adult parents are both nuts I called ahead and they said bring him home. He saw them walk out and about lost a tire burning rubber to get away. Apparently it was grandma's idea to suggest the... company...of that poor stranger.
In Chicago as a youngster. Men sidling up to me slow driving or later they would just follow me home. I'd lean on the horn and my street smart Dad knew what it meant and came out. The guy would take off. You never lose that sixth sense of environment awareness. Whether it's at home or outside the home.
When I was 13 my friends and I were leaving a movie theater, we stayed in between the double sets of doors, waiting for my dad to pick us up. We were the last ones there waiting, but there were a few employees cleaning and closing up things. An old man at least in his 60’s to 70’s, walked out and was watching us. But I was also watching anyone going by. I stepped outside after several minutes, to look down the parking lot to see if my dad had arrived. The old man saw me, drove up, rolled down his window, and said something disgusting while gesturing. I yelled and swore at him, and he drove off.
Another time as I left middle school, there was a large park across the street I had to walk through to get home. There was a ice cream man, he asked if I wanted free ice cream I said no. I kept walking and noticed he was slowly heading in the direction I went. I walked on the grass as he couldn’t go through it. I went down a side street, and ran across a busy street. From there I saw he’d be stopped by traffic for awhile, I ran the 3 blocks home fast. I learned that day not to go to your home if someone’s following you, because then they know where you live. He saw which street I went down but not which house I went in. He slowly drove down my street and turned his music on to get kids to come out and buy ice cream. I have younger siblings that were playing outside. The man asked if a girl matching my description lived at my home, to one of my younger brothers. He told him he’d give him free ice cream if my brother would get me to come outside. I didn’t. My mom told all the kids to come in while she called the police. The man stupidly stayed in front of my house waiting for me to come out until the police got there. They found out he had recently gotten out of prison for SA, towards kids. I don’t know if they arrested him or what happened to him, as I never saw him again.
Another time I was at a gas station 5 blocks straight down from where I lived. I was with a friend and a grown man came out of the gas station, got in his car and pulled up to my friend and I. He asked what time it was. He was wearing a watch, so we ran fast in the direction of my house. His car followed on the busy street we were running along side. He couldn’t slow down enough to follow us, because of traffic, and had to keep turning down side streets and driving back past us. When I got to two streets before mine, I cut through the block, going behind garages. We scanned up and down the street before running to the other side of my block. We cut through the yard behind mine and jumped the fence. We ran in my back door and he didn’t spot us. I always try to know alternative ways to get home or to leave home.
Thanks for another wonderful broadcast. Once I was being followed in my car, and after running an evasive SDR, and I couldn't shake him, I drove to the police station and pulled into their driveway. The guy took off like a shot.
When I had to worry about these things for work, one thing I did was a "box turn," which is taking a series of 4 right turns or left turns, with the last turn being back on to the same street and going in the same direction. It saved my life once. The freeway version of this is to get off at an exit and then immediately get back on T the highway without stopping anywhere. Another thing I would do is make sure the car was never in a position at an intersection where it's impossible to get away, which involved being in the outer lanes at stoplights, and leaving about a car length for room to turn on to an island or a sidewalk if escape became necessary. If someone is seriously after you, It's probably a good idea to have a mechanic check for a GPS tracker on the undercarriage of a vehicle, periodically sweep the car yourself, and make sure any cell phone you're carrying does not have advanced spyware programs installed. There is no easier way to follow a person than getting real time updates about where they are, so that may be the most important of all steps under certain circumstances. It probably goes without saying, but being unpredictable in the places you go and schedule you keep prevents giving your pursuer the opportunity for an ambush. In that regard, it's a good idea too sweep the area where you're going by getting a good look all potential hiding spots. Doing that saved my life once too.
I am a guy and had someone following me around a department store (I think he spotted my expensive watch). Knowing this I went to use the restroom and when I exited I had my cellphone held up in front of me with the video camera running. He was outside the door and saw what I was doing as I walked up with a few feet of him letting him know that I was filming and acting like I was talking to the cops at the same time, telling them that he was still following me and asking them if the could see him on my video that I was streaming to them. He ran out of there like someone had set his feet on fire. I went from defensive to offensive and it worked. I was not worried about him confronting me because of all the people around at the time, including several security guards.
In the comments bellow many suggest going to a police station. That is fine during the day but in smaller towns many police stations, and substations, are not manned at night. Better to go to a fire station - well fit people inside that like helping ordinary citizens, and they answer the door bell in the middle of the night.
Great tips!! I did an SDR, not knowing it was an SDR. One night after work, I noticed the same car following behind for several miles. I was a young, really scared and didn't know what to do, so I drove to the police department. When he realized where I was going he backed off. This was before On-Star and cell phones; I remember like it happened yesterday. 🙏🏼
I had a guy pass me on the expressway once and I was in a sports car tinted windows and as he passed me he got in front of me and tried to get me to stop on the road .I had a faster car than he and I drove around him and took off thinking I he had given up he passes me again , this time he doesn’t try to get me to stop he goes ahead and gets off the same exit that I did and speeds a head waits for me up the road and pulls out behind me when I pass by. So I know at this point I can’t go to my house for fear he will follow me , I drive up to the local police station right between two parked cars and he drives on by. I sat there for a few minutes and went in and reported the guy.don’t know if they caught the guy.
had a cop pull this nonsense on me decades ago. he'd fall back when i slowed down, etc at night so i couldn't get a good read. so when i came up to an intersection, i didn't signal, just downshifted and hit the corner and waited....he stopped in the intersection as i coasted down with my lights off, then turned on his gumballs to let me know who he was.
My wife was followed once. She actually got lost on the way home and these people were continuing to follow her random turns that would make no sense if you knew where you were going. Luckily they gave up at some point as she continued to drive.
I had a situation where I felt I was being followed. As a marine veteran, I don't really like people behind me anyways. Makes me uneasy. So as I was walking I would casually look at the reflections of windows I passed to see if the person was still behind me(and they were). I turn a corner and they did too right behind me. Then I pass by a convenience store and walked on to see if they follow me there. As I approached the parking lot in my peripheral, I could see that it looked like they were turning straight then changed their mind and went to the same place but came in at a different angle. I went down an isle. They came in the same isle but from the opposite side. The thst person looked at me and I looked at them. Kept looking busy then when they looked away. I slipped out of the store. Started walking and periodically checked behind me and I was not being trailed. I lost them. it could have been a coincidence or was possibly a paranoid feeling but I felt that way for a reason. It's better to be safe than sorry. 🤷♂️
@film fan Always be looking around. If I feel like I'm being followed I will purposely look around enough to catch them in my peripherals. Doing this can also help you not become a target. Criminals want quick, easy targets. If you look like you're alert and move with a purpose, that could be enough for them to choose someone else.
I know I'm a Navy veteran and I am not comfortable with people standing too close to me or walking too close behind me I just feel like I I need to be on my guard more when that happens and I did work with the Marines as well
Good advice for a single stalker. But if you are being followed by a surveillance team, it's not so easy. There can be two or three cars following you in a city, for instance, with one behind you and the others driving on parallel streets. Every now and then they will switch off in order to not become suspicious. Also now, they can attach a bird dog to your vehicle and track you where ever you go with GPS, without having a car on your tail.
Pulling into a gas station is a good indicator for multiple cars following you. Just put 5 dollars of gas in all the time watching the street. Then pull out going the other direction. This should do the trick. 👍
@@colinstewart1432 When a surveillance team uses multiple cars, they don't all follow at the same time. One follows while the other one, or two follows parallel on another street (out of sight), staying in radio contact with the vehicle which is tailing the suspect. In order to keep the suspect from getting suspicious, they occasionally switch off with one another so that the same car isn't always following.
@@kevinfarr9739 That's true. Also if you're going somewhere you go all the time cars can "follow " from in front. Surveillance usually has one of two priorities either not to expose the fact that you're following, or not to lose eyes on the target.
Being stalked in the grocery store has become fairly common, or at least it is in the town I live in. It's not always about grabbing me or any other woman. I started using my cart to block anyone suspicious from getting close to me or my purse. Then I stopped wearing a purse and started wearing a fanny pack or a sling type small carry bag. It keeps my hands free and isn't an easy grab and run. I've also stopped wearing jewelry in public unless I'm with friends or family. Keep your head on a swivel in parking lots even during the middle of the day. Check for people in vehicles parked near yours. No matter what they may say or seem like, don't let anyone get within 10 feet of you that you don't know.
@@JasonHansonSpyBriefing Used to work for Target security, high possibility one of the undercover security officers (very common in all major reltailers) could have been tailing your wife considering he wasn't shopping. However, it's good she was able to spot him, better to be paranoid and wrong than aloof and prey.
@@citadelchase8858But why would an undercover security officer be tailing his wife in the first place? (She probably wasn't exhibiting "suspicious" behavior.)
@@l.a.3479 If they see someone displaying subjective suspicious behavior, standing in an aisle for longer than expected, looking at small expensive peices of merchandise that could be easily concealed, looking up at camera placement, or simply because they want to sharpen their skills. 90% of the time it is because the security at the front door called it in.
Drive straight to the nearest police station if possible. I have been stalked in my vehicle. Did not drive home. Instead I circled in my neighborhood and called the cops who met up with me within 2 mins. Surveillance cameras in my vehicle caught everything and gave vehicle information on the vehicle that was stalking me to the cops.
We were taught SDR in the military, as well. I never had to use it while on active duty and I served 20 years, but I had to use it while driving on three different occasions during the COVID lockdowns. On two of those occasions, I had no previous interaction with the person, that I knew of. The third person was road-raging because I yelled at them out of my window because they ran a stop sign and I almost hit them.
one thing, if it a STORE say target and there a guy that following you, and you tell someone and they act like it no big deal, there a chance he the AP guy, that the person that watch for people stealing. so what happen is you see him and start acting werid, so he follow you more
@@stevemyopinion423 Or minimum wage department store employees are just incompetent mouth breathers. Don't assume that it's ok just because they don't seem concerned.
I'm always situationally aware, and there's been a number of times in which I've had to conduct an SDR, where I was truly being pursued by the criminal element, resulting in my escape while completely evading the criminals who were attempting to inflict harm upon me, then I made it home. So, I understand these skills sets wholeheartedly, and they are life savers to say the least!
A couple of times during my lifespan, I've had 2-3 stores that I visited at the same time as a stranger(I had preplanned to buy groceries at these stores for the day). Since one of them was a female(I'm a guy), it must have looked really suspicious that I reappeared, and met her in different stores. So I tried to comfort her by smiling and saying "hey", laughing that we met again. And then I deliberately walked in the opposite direction after we both were done shopping.
The simplest tactic for us reg'lar folk is, when being followed in traffic, drive to the nearest police station. Also, someone could pull into a parking lot of a convenience store or strip mall and call the police on the cell phone, tell them where you are, etc. Not the stuff of movies and possibly embarrassing, but survivability is improved.
Second nature. I like to double back and see who's behind me. And I circle my destination first, and approach from high ground or choose a route with high visibility ahead. Always plan an escape route, even at home.
The underlying idea is one of the (probably the # 1) fundalmentals of personal safety. Be aware of your surroundings at all times. For some it becomes "second nature", basic common sense in other words ("normal"). Amazing though how high percentages have their head in the clouds.
I had a job working for a retired marine and a retired green beret. I was a young mother and my husband traveled often for work. They taught my to take four right turns or four left turns, basically to go the whole way around a block, if I thought someone was following me. They said it’s possible someone will need to make three of those turns to get where they’re headed, but no way they need to do all four turns with you. That saved me more times than I can count. Men followed me around the grocery store and then drove behind me what they thought was a safe distance but I saw them leave when I did. I had stuff melt in the grocery bags sometimes just driving around till I lost the person. No way i’m bringing them home to my babies. More than once I had to drive up to a police station or substation, though in a pinch i found that I could go to any Starbucks at the time and within 5 minutes a police officer or two would stop by.
Was on a solo hike up to a summit, to which there were multiple winding routes to reach it, which resulted in me passing the same guy three times. Seemed friendly, but I kept a stoic demeanor and a made sure to make hard eye contact and my meanest mug I could muster. On that third time we passed one another, he did go out of his way to take note of it and said "miss, I promise I'm not trying to follow you, be safe and enjoy the hike". Luckily I can carry in my state, but we do have to assume that everyone is a bad guy unless we know for certain.
Thank you Jason. Please consider making a video urging/teaching store clerks (particularly women) to be prepared to exit the store whenever the need arises. My concern is that a clerk might feel compelled to stay in the store even when she feels threatened. Somehow this video of yours made me think of an incident in California whereas a young woman was working at a thrift store. A bad guy came in the store, and this clerk was so nervous she contacted a friend on her phone to report him. Ultimately this guy stabbed the poor woman to death. Heart wrenching story to say the least. Perhaps you could advise. Thanks for all you do sir. . .
Very nice. I figured SDR on my own may years ago and have used it many times. I also use driving into a lonely street where its more obvious if the suspect car follows in. Then stop. And see if he stops too. Or if he will pass you by and keep going. Thats one way of clearing the suspicious vehicle. I just subbed to you !
One suggestion: If you think you're being followed by someone in a car, you don't have to make four right turns. Just drive to the nearest police department.
I travel quite a bit to South and central America and i learn to always take a change of clothes in my backpack. I weart shorts t shirt and cap with sunglases. if i feel im being follow i quickly go to a store use the bathroom and change to long jean, change shirt, dont wear a cap or sunglases. turn my packpack inside out for different color. Help me twice in Honduras and Bogota.
I led by stalker to the police station where he exposed himself on camera. They couldn't prosecute because he was out on compassionate release in the pandemic...and he was judged incompetent. He later was caught doing the same thing to someone else. He was also out having been caught two years earlier in another nearby county with charges of aggravated assault, sexual misconduct with a minor, and armed home invasion. I found out his name after the city attorney's office sent me the wrong letter assuming I was the mother of the child that my stalker accosted the same day. I googled him, and there he was with all his previous charges. It was a misdemeanor with me because I am an adult even though it was on camera outside the police department...and they caught him later that same day!
I was being followed in my car after dark one Sunday night years ago when cell phones weren't as easy to use as they are now. At the first turn, my heart sank and I was afraid but aware. I figured I shouldn't go home even though I was only a block away. I drove several blocks and the car was still behind me. I tried to figure out a well-lit place I could go and couldn't think of one. So I drove around the same block 4 times before the driver of the other car figured out I knew he was following me. He left and I drove around another 10 minutes before I went home.
Great advice Jason with my own background I've been doing this since the age of 17 years, I've also taught my children many of these skills to be aware of their safety and surroundings. Great work Jason. AUSTRALIA.
Going through a nasty custody case several years ago, I was followed several times. I did the turns trick you said, I call it 360s. I know the people following me were PIs after 2 or 3 360s they knew I knew what was going on and pulled off. the roads I took were not common routes. The worst part of the story is the exes lawyer hired a girl to be my girlfriend, who I thought we were in love. That was the worse betrayal I've ever felt
child social services are fing evil monsters once they target your kid especially when youve won against them once before and they got raked over the coals for illegal actions and human rights violations.
I unknowingly did an SDR back in April 2017 when I thought a particular woman was following me. I was definitely on higher alert as she wasn't all put together w/her severe mental illnesses and all
What about going straight to a police station? This what the police says… it’s that good or bad? I’m always looking around where ever I go just in case. My children tell me I just paranoid, but nowadays you never know… I do not wear jewelry when I go out (only fake ones), I do not drive an expensive car, I do not carry an expensive handbag, and I never pay cash only credit card. When I’m at a store, I always look outside first before leaving the store just in case, and NEVER are on my phone when walking to my car in a parking lot. You can never be too careful. Thank you for all your tips!
I literally had to be on the doorstep of a police station before a stalker walked away. He literally stood behind me in the bank around the corner so that I didn't take out the money I intended, was then waiting for me outside around the corner. I walked firmly and purposely around the corner to the police station but he literally tried to catch up to me before I got there. Then he left. I waited quite some time before walking around the other corner and waiting for my ride in a bakery. Years later I realized 'my ride, ' who became my husband had dropped me at that particular bank in that area because he was highly sadistic, enjoyed drama, and wanted to see me hurt or attacked and vulnerable. This became a pattern of our marriage and took a long time for me to realize he purposely sets people up for harm and also enjoys watching liive media of people being harmed excruciatingly or harming themselves, including hours of live suicides, etc, rape, torture, and murder of real young girls and women. Predator. One of the first things he told me and kept staring at me, but smiling, now I know a smirk, was that he was at a concert before it opened to the public due to his work when he saw his sister's ex boyfriend killed when a concert pole fell on his head. If it was true, he had something to do with it. There were a lot of "accidents" in his life like this, and I had all my belongjngs stolen when our car was broken into on a trip when he told me to bring all my best jewelry and dresses, everything of his was in the trunk and untouched. It took up ALL the room. Nothing was ever replaced. I got trapped in a Safeway by a group of female druggies who were stealing women's purses, taking the money and cards and throwing the purses in the grocery shelves. One ACTED very sad and needy. They pinned me. They got caught when they got too comfortable and decided to buy cigarettes before leaving. This had been a very safe area without cameras a number of years back. I got my canceled cards and ID back when they tried to trade them with a cocaine dealer who decided he was attracted to me from my ID. I called the police before meeting with him to get my ID back and met his little daughter he used as a decoy when he had visitation.
To the best of my knowledge I have never been followed IRL, but back in the day when I worked for the Umbrella Corporation, our security department would hold briefing meetings that were mostly campfire stories about how Ivan, the Bogeyman, was after us. I took this stuff way too seriously and ultimately became as jumpy as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. When it reached the point of full blown paranoia, I reached out to our security wonks for help and was rewarded for my vigilance by having my tickets yanked. To be fair, they told us that we were targets; they didn't teach us anything about SDRs or how to run one. If I had known this thirty-years ago it would have saved my career. Thanks, Jason.
Hello Jason, my wife thinks I'm crazy for watching out for vehicles that are behind me. I've had cars follow me and I slow down to just below the speed limit. If they don't pass me, I get in the left lane and quickly do a 180. If they continue I head to a business that I know have cameras. I stop and get their license plate. I also have a working camera on my windshield. Soon to have one mounted on the rear. I have my, (yours), t
Tactical pin and my tomahawk and kukri in the boxes ready to reach for, besides my EDC concealed carry. Always ready to bug out. Thanks for the lessons and advice.
I had a terrifying experience driving home from a visit with my parents. I got on the highway and came upon a white pickup truck that was going under the speed limit. As I went around him he sped up making it impossible for me to pass and then began exposing himself WHILE DRIVING. I then floored it to get in front of him but he then chased me until I got to my exit. He continued following me off the exit and at that point I was so afraid and shaking because I felt my life and my child's was in danger (had my toddler in the back sea asleep.) I made a decision I would not go home but drive to the closest Fire Department and pull into the parking lot and lay on my horn until someone came out. I did not have a cell phone back then and there was no police station for miles. I began praying and right then he made an IMMEDIATE U-turn and went the other direction. Thank God!
My girlfriend established she was being stalked in a hypermarket and applied the technique that I have instructed her to: She picked up from the shelves numerous cans of baked beans and started repeatedly throwing them viciously at the stalker targeting his head. She carried on running after him throwing at him the cans even when he made a hasty retreat and ran away as fast as he could. Needless to say that guy never showed up again. Only down side we had to pay a hefty bill at the market for all those baked beans cans, and the mess, there must have been near to 25 cans lying crushed all over the the floors.
I've been followed on foot through and out of a store by two young men. Took a specific action in the parking lot and they immediately lost interest in following me to my car. Apparently they suddenly remembered they parked somewhere else. Do this folks. It prevents confrontations.
@@evaallen9728 Short version, I went from concealed carry to open carry. In the state I was living in at that time open carry is legal for anyone who could legally own a firearm, concealed carry with a permit. (which I had) I was concealed carrying. I made the conscious decision to go open carry in order to deter two people who were fairly obviously following me. It worked. I know many people would say I gave up a tactical advantage. I did it in a last ditch attempt to avoid having a need for that tactical advantage. The message to the two following me was loud and clear: I am not an easy target. They got the message. Background. One evening after dark I had stopped to pick up groceries at the neighborhood store. A store I had been frequenting for over a decade at that point. Two young men who were very much out of place by speech, dress, and mannerisms were loitering by the self-checkout in a grocery store. No purchases, no apparent reason to be there. They followed me from self checkout towards the door. Some alarm bells went off and so I “fumbled” with my bags returning the cart at the entrance so that they would pass me while I was still in the store. They did, but then they waited for me on the sidewalk out front. Then they again began following me into the lot. More alarm bells start going off. That’s when I made the decision to see which way the evening was going to go. All I did was pull back an outer garment. In fact I was checking that my cell phone was still in my back pocket. In no way overtly threatening at all, ie. not “brandishing.” My pistol never left the holster, my hand never even touched the weapon or holster. But due to the fact I happened to be under parking lot light at that moment I had fairly obviously transitioned from concealed to open carry. Oddly enough, the two men a few paces behind me suddenly remembered their car was in another row and veered off like they had bounced off a wall. Apparently their attention was focused on me and they noticed my gesture. Maybe they got the message that this was going to go hard, or maybe it was all innocent. Maybe they were simply a couple of foreign exchange students new to the neighborhood who had been at the store earlier in the day. One of them had misplaced his wallet and they were re-tracing their steps (customer service desk and lost & found is right by self-checkout) looking for it. They were too engrossed in talking to each other and trying to figure out where else they had been to even notice me. Then all of a sudden some guy right in front of them has a pistol on his hip. They’ve heard stories about gun-crazed Americans, and all I managed to do was freak them out and confirm the stereotype. Now, years later they’re home relating their story of that crazy guy they ran into in the parking lot one night in America. Doesn’t really matter which extreme is what actually happened, everyone went home safe.
The problem is- you gotta love yourself enough to be willing to potentially make a fool out of yourself in order to save your life. I know stores where I can go to if need be and be comfortable enough to say " I think I'm being followed ". But how many of us- civvies- are capable of even coming up to a police car and asking for help?
Go around the blocks in a figure “8” pattern going back to the start point. Also exit from the interstate then immediately enter going the opposite direction. Those are rules of the road legal maneuvers…
Can you please do a video on counter surveillance. I know that the serious surveillance teams will have several cars that will change position to not be noticed and will use radios for communication. How do you defeat this, and how do you do a dry cleaning run?
I’ve experienced gangstalking. ( started when I reported a registered sex offender for grooming children in the neighborhood)Too complicated for comment section. Thankful things have been quiet for a few years.
I was driving home from work one night around 11pm. A truck came off a side street and got close behind me. I changed lanes a few times and he did the same. I ran a couple yellow lights and he followed. I had my gun in my hand bc I was expecting him to come up to my truck at a light (he never did) I drove to the sheriffs office and ran inside, he pulled in and then realized where I led him; and took off in a hurry. I noted his direction of travel and told a deputy plus his description and his truck; who sent 2 deputies after him. To this day I don't know who he was.
Here is an odd sort of counter situation I guess you could call it. This happens to me on occasion but I will walk into a store after a young woman for example and it will just so happen that we are going to the same area in the store so it will look like in following her through some twists and turns. I can't stand the feeling it gives me so I usually will say out loud something like "oh wow we are going the exact same way! Oh jeez" or something upbeat like that. It gives me the shivers imagining someone thinking that I'm potentially stalking them. 👎
when your surveillance is aware that you are aware they will use your phone GPS to track you. Loose your phone so they will be forced to use a device on your car. Then you can further assess if someone is tracking you.
I've had a few times in the mall or something when I felt self conscious because I thought I was behind someone too long. I think I would usually just speed up and pass them.
I had a stalker when i was 13 , i dont remember much what happened but i remember getting angry and crying out of frustration because i got weird texts . The food that the stalker have given to me was all thrown away (it was homemade brownies) The stalker turns out to be a senior in my school and they were 15.
I know the difference between fan and stalker and a fan will definitely not send you a razor with blood on it as a gift and follow you home ( i walk to school ) ( i noticed someone was following me after i turn 3 block and they're still behind me, i decided not to go to my house since no one is home yet and i rush to the nearby police department
No charge was pressed and I never told this to anyone except my sister although i never said it was a stalker i just said i had a fangirl who was A little too obsessed with me despite me being a freshman. I talked to her and threatened her not to coutinue this act anymore unless she wants to be jailed. I make sure to let her know that i have the higher ground here since i didnt throw away the razor and her dna might be there. (How i know it was her? She wasn't good enough on being hidden as a stalker 🙏🏻)
You're being followed while driving and you want to lose the "tail". Find a really busy neighbourhood and drive around until you hit a red light. When the lights change, time it right and wait until your light turns red again and the conflicting traffic just starts to move off. Floor the accelerater through the intersection giving the tail no chance to avoid a smash.
I’ve been stalked so many times. This works!! I had some one try to follow me home last week I drove somewhere else first because i had a feeling As i was turning around There he was. I left him in the dust
This lady had followed to me to like 3 places I stopped at before going to my girlfriends house. Turns out I was being followed. It was my wife. So thanks for the training bro.
I've worked in and with Security for most of my life. I tend to stay pretty aware of my surroundings and once I noticed a younger female, with a child, seemed to be in the same area as me several times in a grocery store. I had no doubt that she was Not intentionally following me, but was aware by her occasional glances that she might have thought that I was following her. I intentionally moved to the opposite side of the store and "POOF" there she was. She had done the same thing. I could see that she was obviously nervous so I introduced myself (without asking her name) and we laughed about the situation. Since then we have seen each other occasionally and exchange greetings every time. lol
One day, my brothers and I were going home from the gym, and the car in front of us thought it was following us . He was just going the same direction we were going to go home. Must've been scary feeling for the car in front of US .
Can you give some advice on what to do if you think someone has installed tracking devices in your car / motorbike. How do you detect that? What about if you think someone is tracking you using your phone's location?
I was followed once. I thought it was my wife's x's henchmen. They followed me to a job site where I was the first to arrive before sun up. I snuck up on them in the dark, and overheard the second car and my follower talking: "Yeah he's here." I then decided to attack, with my big maglite as a club I smashed their windshields and they gtfo. Later a cop sheriff showed up and it turned out that they thought I was someone else. They were workman's comp investigators. The sheriff said: "I guess they followed the wrong guy." I answered: "I'll say."
In the 70s walking across a military base a guy started walking behind me I sped up so did he. I slowed down hoping he would walk past. He grabbed my butt I turned and grabbed his shirt at his neck twisted it and raised that hand and yelled you never do that again he ran! Yes I have driven around the block to see if I was actually followed before. My apartment was broken into back and had a stalker had police involved.
Any agency following you will do it with about half a dozen vehicles switching off and on as you move about. Stay strapped and act if you feel like your life is in danger.
I know it's not the best method, but I drive a two wheeled vehicle with the acceleration of a McLaren. If someone's keeping pace with me, then I know their on my ass. And I'd honestly be pretty impressed 😅
Ehh.. Home Depot probably not the best example haha. I’m a contractor and I’m constantly wandering the stores in my free time checking price changes and new available products. People probably think I’m being suspicious but in reality I’m just bored 😂
Stalker = maybe a really bad loss prevention member?😂 Jason is running his SDR to a dead end street, the person following is saying "I wish that dude would hurry up and get the he** out of my way!"😂 Good video actually👍
You would need to move and change jobs almost simultaneously so he can't put a new tracking device on your car. Otherwise you move and he puts a new device on the car at your job. But if he knows other places you go he can wait and watch.
I forget where I learned this, but if all you want to do is find out if you're being followed while driving and don't care about being stealthy, just start driving like an a hole. Swerve and merge and change lanes, make sudden turns, drive excessively fast. If anyone is following you they're going to be the other guy driving like a jerk like you are.
I used to be a "bad guy" until I found Jesus a few years ago. Since I have been working on creating a better community. I've even helped local shops that are doing things that make them targets. It's bizarre how much of this stuff you talk about that I do instinctively out of paranoia.
Criminals don't need to follow you. Digital air tag stuck on your vehicle, tossed in your purse, a diaper bag, etc etc... most people are too distracted to notice if someone is following them... most ceiminals are opportunists... important to be aware of what's going on around you and have a plan to deal with a possible situation
While this might function if a woman is trying to detect a psychopath, this approach is a bit simplistic to use against organized crime. They could have pick-ups pre-planted in different stores. Or even worse, the staff there is part of them. Pros work in teams, not alone.
