So how does this work if a convicted stalker just lives or works within a few km of where a victim lives or works?
The judge would probably make stipulations in fringe cases like that.
I have no idea, but if I had to guess based on a couple of court cases that came up on youtube, the stalker has some carve out where they can go to work, but they have to take very inconvient ways to get there to minimize proximity to the victim.
Like another commenter said. Stalking victims already have to move to avoid their stalkers. This puts that responsibility on the offender rather than the victim. And a good relief for the victims
Ah, TIL, thank you, I didn't see that!
